Story

Meet Shadow! If you're looking for a dog with a big personality and an even bigger zest for life, Shadow is ready to steal your heart! This exuberant girl approaches every day with enthusiasm, curiosity, and plenty of playful energy. Whether she's bouncing around the yard, splashing in a kiddie pool, or exploring the world by your side, Shadow is always ready for her next adventure. Shadow is looking for a home with teens and older, where her excitement and energy will be appreciated. She would thrive with an active family that can provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, and positive training to help her channel all that enthusiasm. When it comes to other dogs, Shadow is dog selective. She has shown that she's interested in making canine friends, especially those who enjoy playful chase games and respect her personal space. She prefers slow introductions and does best with calm, socially savvy dogs who can take her cues. While she may use her voice during play and can become overwhelmed by overly pushy or wrestling-style playmates, with thoughtful introductions and patient guidance, Shadow could enjoy sharing her home with the right canine companion—or she may be just as happy soaking up all of your attention as your one-and-only. Shadow is ready to find a family that will embrace her playful spirit, celebrate her quirks, and give her the time she needs to build confidence. In return, you'll gain a fun-loving, adventurous best friend who's always ready to make every day a little more exciting. If you are interested in Shadow, please call us here at (401)846-8276. You are welcome to stop by our Animal Care and Adoption Center here in Middletown, RI to meet with her at any time. Feel free to visit our website, www.potterleague.org, for more information on adopting from us.

Story

If you're looking for a dog who loves with his whole heart, Bailey is your guy. This affectionate cuddle bug is convinced he's the perfect lap dog, and he'll happily snuggle up as close as he can. Once Bailey forms a bond, he's incredibly devoted and will be a loyal companion through thick and thin. Bailey is happiest when he can be the center of your world, soaking up all the love and attention for himself. While he'd prefer not to share his home with another pet, he's perfectly happy making canine friends on walks or outings—he just enjoys coming home to his favorite people. When meeting new people, Bailey appreciates a slower introduction with someone he knows and trusts. The good news? A few tasty treats go a long way toward winning him over! Because Bailey sometimes forgets just how enthusiastic (and strong) he can be, we'd recommend a home with older, sturdier teens who won't mind his affectionate, oversized lap-dog approach. If you're ready for a loyal best friend who will keep your lap warm and your heart full, Bailey can't wait to meet you. If you are interested in Bailey, please call us at (401) 846-8276. You are also welcome to stop by our Animal Care & Adoption Center in Middletown, RI to meet him during our open adoption hours.

Story

Meet Winston! Winston is a gentle, sensitive boy who needs a quiet, calm home where he can feel safe and build trust at his own pace. He has a history of being shy and fearful, so new people and busy environments can be overwhelming for him. He does best when people sit down and give him the opportunity to approach rather than expecting him to interact right away. Once Winston feels comfortable, a whole new side of him comes out! He can be playful and energetic and truly enjoys affection, especially under-the-chin pets. With the right person and a little patience, Winston has so much love to give. Winston must go home with another dog. He appears to benefit from canine companionship and will do best with a compatible, friendly dog who can help him feel more secure. He can sometimes be a bit sassy when meeting new dogs, so a meeting prior to his adoption would be beneficial for him. He has experience with cats, but from what we know he will chase them- ideally next home will be cat free! His ideal home is an adult-only household that is quiet, calm, and predictable, without a lot of activity or visitors coming and going. Winston can chase cats, so a home without cats would be best. Winston can have insecurities around his food bowl around other dogs, so he will need to be fed separately to help him feel secure and prevent resource-guarding situations. Winston isn't looking for a busy household—he's looking for a patient person, a canine companion, and a peaceful home where he can take his time building confidence. Once he trusts you, Winston has a playful, affectionate side that makes all that patience worthwhile. Winston will be an adoption through our behavior department to ensure the best fit for him, so if you are interested in adopting him best reach out to abrzozowy@potterleague.org with any questions. Feel free to give us a call at (401)846-8276 for further information or visit our website, www.potterleague.org, for more information on adopting from us.

Miss Honey

Mixed Breed (Large)

Female, 5 yrs 4 mos

Middletown, RI

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Miss Honey! A fun, active, and incredibly smart girl who is looking for a special person to call her own! Honey loves having a job to do and truly enjoys training. She already knows sit, down, stay, and come, and she’s a great listener when given verbal cues. She has also attended training classes and has enjoyed learning and practicing around other people and dogs. When she’s not busy showing off her skills, Honey is perfectly happy to relax at home, watch the world go by from a window, or stretch out in a sunny spot for a good sunbath. While she has plenty of energy for adventures and activities, she also appreciates her downtime and would love a home where she can enjoy both. Honey would thrive in an adult-only, low-traffic household, potentially with older teenagers. She may be able to live with the right dog, but she isn’t particularly interested in playing with other dogs and would likely be happiest as the center of attention. Honey can be uncertain when unfamiliar people enter her home or yard and may become reactive when she is startled or spooked by their arrival. She does much better when given the opportunity to meet new people slowly and outside of the home. She also finds veterinary handling challenging and can become defensive or reactive, so she is looking for an experienced adopter who understands her needs and is willing to continue working on or thoughtfully managing these behaviors. Honey has so much to offer the right person. For an adopter who appreciates a smart, active dog and is willing to build trust at her pace, this special girl could be an incredibly rewarding companion. If you are interested in Honey, please call us here at (401)846-8276. You are welcome to stop by our Animal Care and Adoption Center here in Middletown, RI to meet with her at any time. Feel free to visit our website, www.potterleague.org, for more information on adopting from us.
