Story
What a handsome boy Foster is! He’s a 2.5 year old husky mix, weighing about 50 lbs. Foster’s an active pup who enjoys playing with his toys and the great outdoors, where he loves laying around and chasing birds, even in cold weather. He’s not much of a fetch guy and prefers playing independently with his toys. Foster seems to have a preference toward women. He’s great on walks and stays right by your side, but hold tight if he sees birds or other small critters, as he loves chasing them! He can also be leash reactive to other dogs on walks.  While foster enjoys playing with other dogs, he’d prefer to be the only pet in a calm adult home with grown children. He wants all the love and attention for himself and does not like to share, especially his food with other dogs. He is a bit anxious in the car and when going to new places, but really enjoys adventures, once familiar with the place. Foster is a big cuddler, especially at the end of the day when everyone’s home, settled, and relaxing together watching TV.  He wants to be right there with you and will follow you everywhere! He likes knowing everyone is safe, as he feels it’s his job to protect his people. Foster is house and crate trained, up to date, neutered and microchipped.     February 20, 2026, 10:47 am

Story
Fred Dean is currently in Rhode Island and looking for a ‘furever’ home! The dog you didn’t even realize you were waiting for. Looking for a second dog but hoping for someone a little softer, a little shyer, and wonderfully manageable? Fred is your guy. He is the perfect balance of playful and peaceful. He loves other dogs and is always up for a good romp in the yard, but he is just as happy to claim a spot on the couch for some quiet time and belly rubs. Fred is a go with the flow kind of gentleman. He does not need to be the center of attention and is more than happy to share the spotlight. His easygoing nature makes him an ideal companion for a home that already has a pup looking for a buddy. This beautiful tan and white boy is simply looking for love, a canine friend to play with, and a yard where he can stretch his legs. If your dog has been waiting for a best friend, Fred might just be the one. 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.      February 27, 2026, 12:54 pm

Story
(Bonded with her brother, Mac) Hi there! I’m Cheese, a four month old dachshund with the sweetest soul. I am blind, but once I learn my surroundings, I move with confidence. I rely on scent, memory, and especially my brother Mac. He is my safe place, my playmate, and my steady presence. I may not see you, but I will absolutely know you. I adore cuddling, feeling close, and curling up next to my people and my brother. Routine helps me feel secure, and I blossom in a calm, loving environment. Mac and I are a bonded pair and need to stay together. We have grown up navigating the world side by side, and separating us would be incredibly hard on both of us. We truly complete each other. We are looking for a home that understands that special needs doesn’t mean limited joy. It means deeper connection, patience, and a whole lot of love. And we promise to give that love right back. If your home has room for two tiny best friends who will adore you endlessly, we’re ready. With cuddles and tail wags, Cheese 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
Mufasa is currently in RI and looking for a 'furever' home!    Mufasa is a playful and sweet young pup who loves walks, car rides, and, most of all, a good game of fetch! He enjoys being active and spending quality time with his people. Mufasa is currently most comfortable around women and is working with his trainers to build confidence around men. He will do best in a calm, stable home with a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time. Once Mufasa learns he can trust you, the bond you build will be truly unbreakable. He deeply yearns to connect with people—to love and be loved in return—and that desire grows stronger every day. Since starting training sessions, Mufasa has made wonderful progress and is continuing to flourish. With consistency, structure, and gentle encouragement, he will keep gaining confidence and blossoming into the amazing companion he’s meant to be. One of Mufasa’s best friends is sponsoring a few private training sessions after adoption so that he can continue to blossom in his forever home.  Mufasa would thrive either as a solo dog soaking up all your love and attention or in a home with a larger, confident female dog who can help guide him. Mufasa is ready for a loving family of his own. Give this special boy the chance he deserves and he just might capture your heart forever, just like he has captured all of ours!

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Pixie & Tobias are a bonded pair of 5 year old 5 lb Chihuahua mixes. They are not beginner dogs and they are not looking for a typical pet home. These two are deeply bonded and must stay together. They are not comfortable with men and cannot live with children. A calm adult female only home is required. They are a known flight risk and will only be placed in a home with a secure, physically fenced yard. No exceptions. Doors, gates, and leashes must be handled carefully at all times. They are also a bite risk. They will bite if pushed past their comfort level or handled incorrectly. They need an experienced, confident adopter who understands small dog behavior, respects boundaries, and is committed to management over fixing. This placement is about safety and stability, not turning them into lap dogs. Please only apply if your application clearly states that you meet all of these criteria. If you are looking for easy, social, or kid friendly dogs, these are not them.January 20, 2026, 8:33 pm
