Bailey

Mixed Breed (Large)

Male, 4 yrs 4 mos

Middletown, RI

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

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.

Winston

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 4 yrs 1 mo

Middletown, RI

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Winston! A special boy looking for someone willing to be patient and allow him to get comfortable in his own time. Winston is a timid and quiet dog when he is getting to know you. He shows his puppy energy once he feels safe in his environment, but it does take him lots of treats and baby talk to get there. He would do best in an adult-only home that understands his personality. Winston must go to a home with another dog so he can learn a bit more about this whole dog thing. He has some experience with cats, but from what we know he will chase them so he would probably do best without them. 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.

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Topaz is a sweet, cuddly girl with a playful, goofy side that's sure to make you smile. She loves spending time with her people and is looking for a family that will appreciate both her affectionate nature and her fun-loving personality. While she may appreciate a little extra time to settle into new situations, Topaz blossoms with patience and gentle introductions. Once she feels comfortable, you'll discover a loyal companion who loves being with her people and is always ready to brighten your day. Topaz is looking for a home where she can truly thrive. She would be happiest as your canine companion and is best suited for a home without small animals due to her high prey drive. She'll also benefit from a family that's committed to continuing her positive reinforcement training and helping her build confidence as she settles into her new life. If you're looking for a devoted friend with plenty of love to give and a silly side that will keep you smiling, Topaz can't wait to meet you. If you are interested in Topaz, please call us at (401) 846-8276. You are also welcome to stop by our Animal Care & Adoption Center in Middletown, RI to meet her during our open adoption hours.
