Story
OB 5-12-2019 Elias is a retired puppy mill worker, he was stuck in a cage for 5 years of his life from the time he was born. When he came he was so thin, his teeth were totally rotten and he couldn't eat. Well that was his old life, not his new life! Elias has been neutered, all teeth had to be removed, he was heartworm negative and is now on ProHeart6, up to date on all shots and has become a little on the porky side! Elias would love to have his own home now, something he never had hopes of is a reality for him now. Elias is crate trained, gets along with other little dogs, would love to be loved by someone who knew how special he is. Elias's adoption fee is 500.00, this transport fee is 165.00. Our transport is HEARTS LLC, the only one we use for our kids! The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner.

After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.

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
Name: Xuegao Gender: Male Date of Birth: August 16, 2019 Breed: Maltese Neutered: No Xuegao is an adult Maltese who has been with me since he was young. He is very bonded to his owner and does best in familiar, calm environments. With people he knows well, he can be affectionate and attached. Due to my current situation involving frequent travel between locations, unstable work circumstances, and financial hardship, I am no longer able to provide the consistent environment or ongoing care (including boarding and management costs) that he needs. Because of this, I am seeking a stable and experienced home that would be a better long-term fit for him. Xuegao can be reactive and anxious around strangers or in unfamiliar environments. When stressed or startled, he may bark excessively and show defensive behavior. For this reason, he would be best suited for: • An experienced dog owner • A quiet, stable household • No young children • Someone patient and willing to give him

Story
Adoption Donation   $    599                Located:    MS   (Transportation costs included to the Northeast , plz ask for more details )    Age: approx   2  years old     Weight: 9  lbs Lacie is a sweet little girl who loves people and other dogs.  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.
