Story
I’d like you to meet Noelle!  Noelle was born on 10/30/25.  She weighs 11 pounds. This Lab/Maltipoo mix is as sweet and lovable as can be!  She has a very friendly disposition as well as lots of puppy energy.  Noelle loves her treats, cuddling next to you and taking naps after playing.  While a little shy at first, Noelle is happy to get to know new people.  She is dog friendly.  We are working with her on house training and other puppy basics.  She does well in her crate. Most of all she’s a sweet, loving and an overall wonderful companion!  Let’s give Noelle the forever home she’s looking for!   Contact East Coast Canine Rescue for adoption information.  February 9, 2026, 9:38 am

Story
Hi there! My name is Jolly! I am a Lab/Maltipoo Mix. Born on 10/30/25 I’m an 11 pound bundle of joy looking for my forever family. I may be small, but my heart is very big! I’m sweet, snuggly and full of puppy energy!  I’m working on my house training, and other puppy skills.  I’d love a family who will shower me with love, teach me all the puppy basics, and have plenty of time for cuddles and playtime.  I’m still learning about the world, so I’ll need a little patience as I grow into the best dog I can be. If you’re ready for a lifetime of love, laughter, and tail wags, I can’t wait to meet you! Let’s make some paw-some memories together.  February 1, 2026, 5:42 pm

Story
Ralph is looking for a family that wants a dog with personality! This little guy is 11 years old and 10 pounds of adorable. Ralph was found as a stray and brought to the Tri-Town Animal Shelter in North Providence last October. When his stray hold was up, we picked him up and brought him to VPR. At first, Ralph was pretty shy, but in no time at all, we saw his silly personality emerge. He gets along well with most dogs, but we've seen him be hesitant of (and even combative with) unneutered male dogs. Otherwise, he is content to keep to himself and join in on group activities, like barking at us to hurry up with dinner. He's not always thrilled about being picked up and will growl if he doesn't want to be. Because of this, we recommend using a blanket if he needs to be picked up until the family understands Ralph's behavior and body language. And bonus: Ralph will try to eat his own poop, so it should be picked up immediately. Medically, Ralph needed quite a bit of care. He has a grade 3 heart murmur but does not currently require any heart medication. He should have another echo 6 months after his last, to recheck his heart health and assess if medication is needed. He also tested positive for Lyme and underwent a course of antibiotics. Most recently, Ralph had surgery to repair 2 perineal hernias, which caused him a lot of discomfort. He was also neutered during the procedure. He is recovering well, but he will have soft, frequent stools until he's fully healed. His adopter will need to understand this and be open to more frequent outings or clean-ups. Ralph's teeth aren't in too bad shape, but he will need a dental in the future. VPR will cover the cost at the adopter's vet. Ralph is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and recently had full blood work and a urinalysis. He's a funny little pup who marches to the beat of his own drum. If cute, silly, and a little high-maintenance sound like a match for you, please submit an application at: https://www.vintagepetrescue.org/adopt

Story
FENCED YARD REQUIRED Adoption Donation   $ 599 Located: MS (Transportation costs included to the Northeast , plz ask for more details ) Age: approx   2  years old Weight: 16  lbs.   Lacie is a sweet, quiet little girl who loves people and other dogs. She likes to cuddle. She doesn't ask for affection but loves it. Lacie is not a fan of being crated. We are requiring a secure, fenced yard for her.  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:  friendsoha@yahoo.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. FOHARI.ORG will provide the animal with the basic vaccines, heart worm test and sterilization of dogs and cats before adoption if the age and current health of the animal permits. While FOHARI.ORG makes every effort to place only healthy animals, FOHARI.ORG cannot guarantee the health of any animal, and shall not be held responsible for any medical expenses that may be incurred. Rescuer will provide information received from the veterinarian exam, observations on the temperament of the animal and a best guess of the breed. Friends of Homeless Animals Inc.

Story
Teenie Weenie's name says it all! This 5 month old cute little guy is approximately 6 lbs and wants nothing more than to give lots of love and kisses to everybody...and hopefully soon to a new family. Rescued from a backyard breeder, Teenie and his littermates were in such poor physical condition, they needed to spend 5 days/nights in intensive care at the veterinary hospital suffering from starvation and dehydration. After lots of TLC, good food and fluids, Teenie and his brother came home and have been flourishing ever since! Teenie's brother recently found his forever family, and now it's his turn! A bit shy at first, Teenie warms up quickly and I believe that he would welcome having another small pup to play and share adventures with. As he is smaller, gentle children 10 and over will be considered. I will consider potential adopters living within a 2 hour driving distance. Please know that I do not ship my rescue pups. Thank you for considering Teenie Weenie
