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! 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
At almost 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 his back leg has never slowed him down for a second. Cody is fully mobile, full of life, and happiest when he’s running after 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 now. Cody is incredibly smart and eager to connect with his people. He already knows sit, down, stay, heel, center, and wait/take it, and he thrives when he has structure, guidance, and someone cheering him on. Cody isn’t the kind of dog who shines in loud adoption events or chaotic environments. Busy spaces are overwhelming for him, and because of that, he’s often overlooked. But once he feels safe and connected, his personality truly comes to life. He’s looking for a calm, lower-traffic home where he can be the center of someone’s world. Cody would do best as the only pet in the home and would thrive with someone who appreciates a loyal companion and understands that the best relationships sometimes take a little time and trust to build. Cody may not be the right fit for every home — but for the right person, he’s the kind of dog who will love you with his whole heart. 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
Bella Forsyth is currently in RI and looking for a 'furever' home!    Bella is a beautiful fawn-colored sweetheart who weighs about 30 pounds—the perfect size to fit just about any lifestyle. She loves car rides, gets along wonderfully with other dogs and children, and seems to make friends with everyone she meets. Her expressive ears and constantly wagging tail make it feel like she's always part of the conversation! Bella is incredibly affectionate and adaptable. She's just as happy snuggling on the couch as she is joining you on an adventure. She enjoys long walks, but she doesn't require excessive exercise to be content. A fenced yard would be ideal, giving her a safe space to explore and play. She's already learned several commands, including sit and shake, and she's been a star with house training—she hasn't had a single accident and will let you know when she needs to go outside. At the dog park, Bella loves sniffing around, exploring her surroundings, and letting loose with a few joyful zoomies. While she isn't thrilled about going into her crate, she settles in quietly and patiently waits each morning for the family to wake up. Her easygoing nature, loving personality, and good manners truly make her the complete package. Bella does have a prey drive, so a home with cats or chickens would require a family committed to helping her learn that they are part of the household. She was especially interested in the chickens when she first arrived and managed to collect a few feathers on day one! If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who can be both your adventure buddy and your couch companion, Bella may be the perfect match. 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
Landee is currently in Rhode Island and looking for her "furever" home! Landee is the sweetest girl who adores being around her people. She would do best in a home with a yard to run around and expend some of her playful puppy energy! She loves other dogs and would thrive in a home with a canine companion or with plenty of opportunities for doggy playdates. Landee is doing great with crate training so far. She sleeps soundly in her crate and is most comfortable with her crate being in the same room as her foster parents. Landee is working hard on her house training. She's very food-motivated and is making progress daily! Landee is still nervous on a leash because she's never been on one before and doesn't quite understand it just yet so she will be working to master this skill in the coming weeks! Landee is still a puppy, so she’s looking for a patient family committed to helping her continue to learn and grow into the incredible dog she’s already becoming.  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.
