Story
Meet Roxanne! She’s a 9-month-old Dutch Shepherd mix and an absolute beauty. She has a striking brindle coat that glows in the sun, big expressive amber eyes, and a sweet little white chest patch that makes her look even more unique - but what really makes her special is her gentle, loving nature. Roxanne is loyal, affectionate, and loves nothing more than being close to her people. She’s a little shadow who happily follows you around and settles in for snuggles any chance she gets. She does great with kids, cats, and other dogs, making her an easy fit in almost any home. This sweet girl is crate trained and picking up on house training quickly. She’s spayed, UTD on vaccinations, and ready to find the loving forever family she deserves.

Story
Houston Forsyth is currently in RI and looking for a 'furever' home!    Houston is a big boy with an even bigger heart! He's is a loyal companion who loves to follow his person around and has wonderful training potential. He walks well on leash, sits for treats, and knows several basic commands including down. He is both crate trained and potty trained, and he can be trusted to roam the house when unattended (just be mindful — at counter height, he may try to swipe a tasty rotisserie chicken if left out!). He gets along beautifully with other dogs, both big and small. He enjoys hanging out with canine friends and prefers to chill rather than wrestle or roughhouse — you might even catch him exchanging sweet kisses with his dog buddies. He has also been introduced to cats on leash and pays them no mind. Houston loves to play in his own unique way — he doesn’t chew toys much, but he enjoys batting a ball around with his paws and chasing it, looking like a giant cat when he does! Despite his size, he thinks he’s a lap dog and will happily climb up for snuggles. He especially adores teenagers and forms strong bonds — he may even try to follow his favorite people if given the chance. Because of his size and athleticism, a secure 6-foot fence or supervised outdoor time is recommended. He loves walks and would make an excellent hiking partner, and he would thrive in a home with room to run. He would do well with another friendly dog companion, especially one who enjoys relaxed company. 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
Meet Sara — Your New Best Friend in a Perfectly Trained, 45-Pound Package of Love At just 20 months old, Miss Sara is already proving to be the kind of once-in-a-lifetime dog everyone hopes for—smart, affectionate, eager to please, and now… beautifully trained. Originally adopted as a puppy, Sara was very loved—but when her owner sadly fell ill and could no longer care for her, everything changed. She returned to us with a heart full of love, but without the manners every young pup needs. We knew this girl had potential, so off she went to a professional 3-week training program… and wow, is she showing off. &#226&#156&#133 Training? She’s nailing it. &#226&#156&#133 People? She adores them. &#226&#156&#133 Dogs? Instant besties. &#226&#156&#133 Kids? She belly-crawls just to be close to them—it’s beyond precious. We believe she’s a Dutch Shepherd mix, weighing in at about 45 pounds, with a gorgeous, sleek coat and a heart that beats for human connection. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines—and yes, ready to go! Now, she’s just looking for a home that can match her devotion with love and guidance. Toys are her jam, and she’ll happily entertain herself or join you for a game of fetch. No kitties for this girl, please! Chasing them is just too much fun, and she needs a cat-free home to thrive. Sara is the kind of dog who makes you feel like the most important person in the world. Her loyalty is unmatched, her spirit is bright, and her readiness for her forever home couldn’t be clearer. Interested in giving this beautiful girl her happily-ever-after? Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com today. Let Sara show you what love, intelligence, and a second chance can really look like. PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.March 7, 2026, 12:24 pm

Story
Luna is a very sweet girl but unfortunately she is no longer able to stay with us. She is 9 year old German Shepard pure breed. She has pancreatic disease which means she needs an enzyme powder with all her meals to be able to take all the nutrients of what she eats. She is not kid friendly and unable to stay in our home. She is an older dog and is starting to develop some issues with her hips. She will be best with anyone with no kids and that has time to be with her and able to handle all her needs. She’s a great pet. House trained and loving but does also like her own space.

Story
Megara is a beautiful Shepherd mix with a gentle heart and a sweet, friendly nature. She came to the shelter when her family’s housing situation changed, and she’s ready to find a loving home again. This large girl is working on gaining a bit of weight, but her spirit is already full of warmth and affection. Megara can be a bit clumsy and strong on leash. Megara has been happy to greet volunteers and clearly enjoys spending time with people. In her previous home, she lived successfully with kids, cats, and other dogs, showing just how adaptable and loving she can be. She enjoys car rides, walks, and being part of everyday life. Megara is looking for a family who will give her the care and companionship she deserves—she’ll return it with loyalty and love.If you are interested in adopting Megara, please come to the shelter on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 12-4 pm. If you are unable to come during those times please email dogs@worcesterarl.org to see what other times may be available by appointment.
