Story
Lulu is currently in RI and looking for her 'furever' home!    Lulu is a gorgeous pup with so much love to give! She gets along well with other dogs and would do best in a home with a fenced-in yard where she can safely stretch those growing legs and romp around! She loves her food and is very treat motivated. One of her favorite pastimes is playing sous chef. If you spend time in the kitchen, you'll never cook alone again! She's practicing her leash training daily and sleeps soundly in her crate at night. She loves people so much that sometimes she forgets her puppy manners and tries to hug you with her front paws off the ground! She's working hard on learning to greet with a little less bounce and her paws on the floor. Lulu is a perfect passenger in the car, she loves to stare out the window and enjoy the ride. Her ears may be big, but her heart is even bigger. Lulu can't wait to find her forever family! If you are interested in adopting this dog please complete the adoption application at www.rhodehomerescue.org/adoption-form to become a pre-approved adopter.

Story
At 2 years old, Cody has spent his entire life in rescue waiting for the right person to see him for who he really is: a deeply loyal, goofy, affectionate dog with so much love to give. Missing a back leg has never slowed Cody down. He is fully mobile, full of life, and happiest when he’s chasing a ball, exploring on walks, or climbing directly into your lap for cuddles. His zoomies are elite, his kisses are endless, and if you sit down near him, there’s a very good chance he’ll decide your lap belongs to him. Cody is incredibly smart and loves learning with his people. He already knows sit, down, stay, heel, center, and wait/take it, and he thrives with structure, consistency, and someone he trusts by his side. Cody isn’t a dog who shows his best self in loud adoption events or busy, chaotic environments. The world can sometimes feel like a lot to him, especially around unfamiliar people and dogs, so he needs time and space to feel safe. Once he knows you and realizes you’re part of his circle, though, you get to see the Cody his foster family knows and loves — silly, affectionate, playful, and incredibly devoted to his people. Cody is looking for a calm, lower-traffic home where he can settle into a predictable routine and be the center of someone’s world. He would do best as the only pet and with someone who understands that trust doesn’t always happen overnight. He needs a person willing to give him the time and space to build a relationship at his own pace. Cody may not be the right dog for every home, and that’s okay. He doesn’t need every home. He just needs one person to give him a chance. For that person, Cody has an incredible amount of love waiting to give. If you are interested in adopting Cody, please complete the adoption application at www.rhodehomerescue.org/adoption-form to become a pre-approved adopter.

Story
Landee is currently in Rhode Island and looking for her "furever" home! If you had to describe Landee in just three words, they would be goofball, sweetheart, and smart! This stunning 8-month-old brindle mixed breed beauty has settled beautifully into her foster home and is ready to find her forever family. Landee is house trained, crate trained (this is where she comfortably spends her time while her foster parents are at work), and is learning all the important puppy manners. She loves to cuddle and will happily curl up beside you after a day of fun. This playful girl keeps everyone laughing as she zooms around, occasionally forgetting to put the brakes on and crashing into the furniture! She's made lots of neighborhood dog friends during her daily walks and is becoming more confident on leash every day. One of Landee's sweetest quirks is that she gives "kisses" without licking—she simply presses her lips against yours, and it's absolutely adorable.  If you are interested in adopting this dog, please complete the adoption application at www.rhodehomerescue.org/adoption-form to become a pre-approved adopter.   If you were already approved through Rhode Home Rescue within the last 6 months, contact us today!

Story
Lucca Local  is currently in RI and looking for a 'furever' home!    Lucca is a handsome 1.5-year-old, 65 lb Standard Poodle looking for a patient, experienced home. Like many poodles, he's incredibly smart, loyal, and forms deep bonds with his people. But Lucca missed out on important socialization as a puppy, so the world can feel like a scary place. He needs a securely fenced yard, another confident dog in the home, and an adopter with experience managing fearful, flight-risk dogs. Lucca enjoys spending time outside, quietly exploring the yard, and once he trusts you, he'll seek you out for affection and companionship. This is not a dog who will be ready to take walks around the neighborhood on day one. He needs someone who understands that trust is earned through patience, consistency, and kindness. Are you ready to show Lucca that love takes time and that he's finally safe. If you are interested in adopting this dog please complete the adoption application at www.rhodehomerescue.org/adoption-form to become a pre-approved adopter.   If you were already approved through Rhode Home Rescue within the last 6 months, contact us today!

Story
Wayward Henson is currently in RI and looking for a 'furever' home!    Wayward is a sweet, 1-year-old boy with a tender heart. He's very shy and still learning to trust people. He isn't comfortable coming up to new people yet, and he may retreat to a corner and shake when someone tries to pet him. He'll do best with an adopter who lets him set the pace. He is pee pad trained. If he goes outside, he'll need a securely enclosed yard. He gets along well with other dogs. Wayward is bonded with Rayne and will need to be adopted together with her. He always checks to see where she is and cries if he can't find her. Having her by his side gives him confidence. If you have a patient home and room for two best buddies, Wayward and Rayne are ready to meet you! If you are interested in adopting this dog please complete the adoption application at www.rhodehomerescue.org/adoption-form to become a pre-approved adopter.   If you were already approved through Rhode Home Rescue within the last 6 months, contact us today!

Story
Rayne Henson is currently in RI and looking for a 'furever' home! Rayne is a sweet, loving girl who is happy and friendly with everyone she meets. She's still a little shy at first, but once she warms up, she is a total cuddle bug who loves being right by her human's side. She's great with kids, and she doesn't bark at all. She also does well on car rides, so she's ready for adventures. She is pad trained and is working on perfecting her potty skills. She goes outside to do her business in the yard and will need to be kept on schedule to keep working on her housetraining. She has never been walked on a leash, so that's a work in progress, and would do best with a secured area. She is still getting used to the concept of a harness - it's all so new! Rayne and Wayward are bonded and will need to be adopted together. They will need a patient adopter who can help their build confidence at their own pace.  The two sleep side by side and do pretty much everything together, and she's always checking on him and comforting him. If you have a loving home, a little patience, and room for two best buddies, [Name] and Wayward would love to meet you!
