Story
Meet Gunner, your future best friend with a story of resilience and a heart of gold. Gunner is a handsome German Shepherd who proves every day that nothing can slow him down. After being hit by a car, Gunner lost one of his legs, but he hasn’t lost an ounce of his spirit. This incredible tripod gets around with confidence, determination, and a joyful energy that’s truly inspiring to watch. Gunner is as friendly as they come. He loves meeting new people and greets everyone like an old friend. He enjoys going for walks, exploring the world around him, and soaking up attention from his favorite humans. Don’t let the three legs fool you—Gunner still enjoys playtime, adventures, and being part of whatever you’re doing. While Gunner does well passing other dogs out on walks and in public settings, he is looking for a home where he can be the only pet. He prefers not to share his space and would thrive as your one-and-only companion, soaking up all the love and attention for himself. Gunner is looking for someone who sees how special he is—not in spite of his journey, but because of it. If you’re ready for a loyal, affectionate, and inspiring companion, Gunner is ready to meet you. Could that person be you? 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 Max ❤️ This loyal 5‑year‑old German Shepherd is the perfect blend of calm and playful—an easygoing guy who enjoys a laid‑back life but also loves showing off his happy trot when it’s time for a walk or when he gets excited. Max has lived peacefully with other dogs, is fully house‑trained and crate‑trained, and prefers a home that’s steady and predictable but still has room for light fun. He hasn’t met cats or kids yet, so a family willing to introduce new experiences slowly and respectfully would be ideal. Max’s journey includes a small medical piece, but it’s one that’s easily supported with consistent care. He has hypothyroidism, a common condition where the thyroid glands don't produce enough of the thyroid hormone. Treatment is straightforward—just a daily medication—and many dogs with this condition live long, happy, normal lives. Hypothyroidism can make dogs lower‑energy or prone to weight gain. He’ll thrive in a home that appreciates a slower pace, can keep up with his medication schedule, and wants a gentle, happy companion by their side. Apply to adopt Max today, or email dogs@rispca.org with any questions! 🐶

Story
Gally (Galaxy) is a playful, energetic, and snuggly 5 year old shepherd mix. She is 86 lbs, up to date on all shots and is spayed. She loves walks on & off leash, swimming, playing fetch, and cuddling on the couch. In a perfect world, she would spend her days outside playing and her nights curled up next to her owner getting tons of pets. She responds well to commands such as sit, stay, lay down, go, in, up, and down. Gally gets along well with most other dogs, particularly males. She is standoffish to new people at first, but as soon as you play or throw a ball, she is instantly your best friend.Gally is timid of loud, sudden noise and will often seek to run and hide when hearing things such as fireworks. She will growl at new people, but has never had a single instance of aggression toward anyone.We would not be trying to rehome our beloved dog, but have 2 small kids at home and simply cannot give Gally the life she deserves. She is perfect pup for someone looking for companionship.

Story
🚨 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: COME MEET KIRA IMMEDIATELY! She is absolutely adorable, and currently accepting applications for the very important role of “people who will love her properly.” Kira is a very good girl with a huge heart, a sweet face, and the kind of personality that makes you immediately wonder how she ended up needing a new home.She was relinquished after her previous owner repeatedly let her run loose, where she made some poor choices involving neighborhood chickens. To be fair, Kira would like to state for the record that chickens are suspicious little dinosaurs, she was simply conducting field research, and no none ever taught her manners. Which is absolutely not her fault. What we know for sure is that Kira is loving, affectionate, and so happy to be with people. She has lived with kids, gets along with other dogs, and is the kind of girl who really just needs someone to keep her safe, contained, and set up for success. Kira is not looking for a free range lifestyle. She’s looking for a family, a secure yard or leash walks, snuggles, guidance, and maybe zero direct access to poultry based drama. She is sweet, beautiful, and extremely ready to retire from chicken investigations. HOW TO GO ABOUT ADOPTING: - Come in during adoption hours to apply and fill out an application completely.

Story
Meet Kodak!Kodak is the president of Goofy Ears R Us and he takes his role very, very seriously. Which is good because he takes absolutely nothing else in life seriously.A young lab mix at about seven months old, Kodak is FULL of life and energy. He WILL need training, of course, as he's (literally) a puppy with little to no manners. We're teaching him what we can at the shelter but he's going to need consistency so his training WILL need to be continued in his forever home. He's about 46lbs right now and will probably be around 55-60lbs when full grown.Kodak LOVES other dogs. Like, he is obsessed with them. His enthusiasm knows no bounds so he can be a little much for older dogs that have zero patience for shenanigans or for more introverted dogs that want NO part of his nonsense. But a dog that will match his energy? It will be comedy hour 24/7. We would prefer not placing him with cats because he does not understand angry cat language and he WILL instigate like a teenage boy.He also loves people. He's an extrovert to the extreme. He loves getting attention, loves being involved in whatever it is you're doing, and loves playing with toys. He's definitely got mouthy puppy energy (again, he'll need training) so we would recommend older kids (12+) or an adult only home until he's learned his manners.He DOES have skin allergies so adopters will need to stay on top of monitoring his skin and seeking vet care when necessary.To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application. Once complete, you can email it to us at fpas1@foreverpaws.com.
