Story
I have had shadow since he was a puppy. He turned 7 this past July. He is trained, loves to play fetch, and being outside. He is house broken but does have an occasional accident if left too long. He gets along great with my other dog, but hasn’t had much exposure to other dogs. Shadow has never shown any signs of aggression towards people or kids. Is afraid of the cat. Very sweet dog and has the temperament of scooby doo. Up to date on shots. I have an infant and unexpected home repairs and am having a difficult time managing it all.

Story
Meet this beautiful 9-year-old German Shepherd, a girl who proves that The BEST DOGS only GET BETTER with AGE Fiona is a lovely, gentle, and sweet lady who will make an amazing and loyal companion. A BIT ABOUT FIONA *She is excellent on her walks. She ‘checks in’ often with her human while on her strolls. *She gets very wiggly and excited when she sees the leash in your hands. *Loves going for car rides! She sits very calmly in the backseat looking out the window. *Fiona loves taking field trips and seeing people, bikes, and kids go by. *She loves using her "sniffer" to play Find It games and Treat Towel activities. *She takes her treats very gently. *She was funny seeing a kiddie pool for the first time. She did not know what it was, but after thinking it was just a giant water bowl, she did get in and sat on the side of it enjoying getting her feet wet. *She enjoys being pet and once she knows you, will lean into you for more! *Fiona loves playing in the kiddie pool! If you’re looking for a super sweet older girl who will be your best friend, please consider Fiona. *If you can see me, I'm still available! We prefer initial adoption steps to be done via email, this way we can answer any time of day. We also prefer an application submitted before scheduling a visit, but it's not required, an email conversation is great! If you don't have access to email, no worries. Please call 401 680 7591. We differ from other shelters by offering a one-on-one experience between you, our staff and the animal or animals you've chosen to become a new family member! Please email pacadoptions@providenceri.gov or adoptions@friendsofpaccc.org

Story
Meet Kylo 🐾 Kylo is a smart, loving German Shepherd with a strong pack mentality. He absolutely loves his family and is happiest when he’s with his people. He’s an adventurous dog who loves hikes, walks, and pretty much anything outdoors, but he’s just as happy relaxing and hanging out inside with his family. Because of his pack mentality, Kylo can take a little time to warm up to new people. He’s naturally cautious at first, but once he decides you’re his friend, you have a friend for life. He becomes incredibly loyal and loving to the people he trusts. Kylo is great with kids and loves being part of the family. He is also great with other dogs, but proper introductions are important. He may be a little unsure or guarded during the initial meeting, but once he gets comfortable and settles in, he does very well with other dogs and can become great friends with them. Overall, Kylo is a loyal, intelligent, affectionate, and adventurous dog who loves his family deeply and just needs.

Story
Adoption Donation   $ 299 Located:  in RI  (Transportation costs included to the Northeast , plz ask for more details ) Age: approx @4 years old  Weight: 65 lbs     Layne is a beautiful 4ish-year-old, 60 lb golden girl. Layne came to us pretty timid and scared of the world but has since gained a lot of confidence. Layne lives with other dogs, kids and a baby. She is great around kids.  She is a sweetheart; she does still get timid when in new homes and away from the people she knows and trust. Layne is pretty quiet. She is the only dog in the house who does not bark at the mailman .  Layne does best being able to run free and watch the birds fly by so a fenced yard is required. She does chase after the bunnies in the yard so I would say no cats but she hasn't been cat tested.  She does prefer women over men but lives perfectly  fine with my husband (She will give him a bark every once in a while). She loves other mellow dogs. A home with another polite dog would be best for her. She loves playing fetch, going on walks and treat time. She loves romping around the yard with her four-legged foster brothers. She does well with senior dogs as well.  If you have lots of love and patience to give a former shelter/Kentucky street dog, a fenced yard, and another friendly pup, please reach out to set up a meet and greet with this sweet girl.    If you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an application on our website  www.fohari.org  and email my foster parent for more information:    reginasfosterdogs@gmail.com Please verify the location and readiness of this dog with us.  Because we save lives from various locations through out the United States, some dogs may not be in New England yet, nor ready for immediate adoption.   Our adoption application can be found here: https://fohari.org/application/  Our Adoption Process:   Go to our website and select the animal you are interested in. ALL animals are in foster homes as we do NOT have a  shelter where you can visit. Some animals are in foster care in New England, and some are located in other states. If the initials following the animals name are a state, then that is the state where the animal is located. If initials are not a state, then those are the initials of the foster home outside of New England and you will not be able to meet the animal ahead of time. Complete our online application You will be contacted by phone or email by the foster parent  or a member of our adoption team and will have the opportunity to find out more about the animal, and ask any questions that you have to ensure the animal is a good fit for your household. If the animal is local, you can meet the animal, but you would not be able to take the dog home until you are approved to adopt.  From our end, we will check references and schedule a home visit.  If you live in an apartment, or a condo, we will need to verify permission to own the animal from your landlord or condo board. Please let your vet’s office and references know we will be contacting them. If your  references are positive, we will schedule a home visit by a volunteer. Please try to accommodate the home visit volunteer as most  have busy schedules. Delays in the visit will result in a delay in the adoption. Once you are approved, you will receive an e-mail with your  adoption contract attached. This e-mail will have details about pick up, the balance of the adoption fee that is owed, etc. Please email your signed & witnessed contract and pay your adoption fee in full, and for any animals located out of state, you will be contacted for details about transport to New England. Once you have paid your adoption fee in full and sent back your contract, you can make arrangement to pick up your animal from the foster home or from transport depending on where the animal is located. Please bring a harness, collar, ID tag and leash when you are picking up the dog unless otherwise instructed by the foster parent. Our extensive approval process is intended to ensure the best fit between our animals and adopters. Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA) reserves the right to deny any adoption application with or without disclosure of cause. Your adoption fee helps to cover the cost of all age appropriate vetting and transportation. FOHARI.ORG makes no explicit or implicit guarantees in reference to the health, temperament and/or the breed of the animal. The animal is adopted ‘as is’, and the adopter assumes all responsibility for treatment of any and all existing conditions or any other conditions of physical or temperament changes that may occur.
