Story

Duke is a 6 year old loving and sweet boy. He will lay on top of you and watch tv or run around changing a ball. I rescued Duke from a shelter and when they found him he had an imbedded collar so he still has a scar on his neck. Because of this he ain’t great on leash and would do best with a family with a fenced yard. He defiantly has the boxer energy and is very excited when meeting new people and when someone gets home.

Story

Meet Elvira — “V” for Victory! 🐾 The “V” in Elvira’s name stands for Victory — because this brave girl has truly gone from victim to victor. V’s journey is one of tragedy and triumph. She is a survivor of abuse and neglect who has shown incredible resilience every step of the way. V came to the North Smithfield Animal Shelter after an anonymous call prompted a welfare check. Following an investigation in collaboration with North Smithfield Animal Control, Burrillville Animal Control and the North Smithfield Police Department, V was taken into safe custody and received immediate veterinary attention thanks to our friends at the North Smithfield Animal Hospital and Friends of North Smithfield Animals Shelter. Thanks to the generosity of our friends at the Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, she was lovingly cared for until she regained her strength and was ready to return to the shelter. During that time, her previous owner was arrested and charged with animal cruelty. Now safe and thriving, V is learning what it truly means to be a dog — something she’s been discovering for the first time in six years. She will proudly greet you with her beloved “stuffies” and a big, joyful smile. She’s steadily gaining weight and is expected to be about 65 pounds when fully healthy. Given her history, we feel she would do best as the only pet for now so she can fully bond with her person. In time, another furry roommate may be possible — but for now, she deserves to be the palace princess of her home. She is: * Spayed * Vaccinated * Microchipped * Heartworm free * Crate trained * Great in the car * Wonderful on a leash * Up for an active lifestyle * Also a certified couch potato Recently, V spent a weekend away as a “Blizzard Buddy” at a farm, where she soaked in the sights, sounds, and smells of the horses and delighted in meeting every person she encountered. Her joy and curiosity continue to blossom more each day. Does V sound like the companion you’ve been looking for? Call the shelter at 401-766-0377 or email Lgarzone@nsmithfieldri.gov to learn more about adopting this incredible girl. Not ready to adopt? No worries — like and share V’s story to help her find the loving forever home she so greatly deserves. 💕 Want to help with V's medical bills? Contact the shelter at 401-766-0377 or Friends of The North Smithfield Animal Shelter.
