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.      March 7, 2026, 1:36 pm

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.     March 19, 2026, 5:42 pm
