Story
DOB 6-11-2025 This gorgeous little boy named Natan is a sweetheart. He is a little shy, gets along with other little dogs, loves to play and is social. Natan is up to date on shots and a healthy boy! Natan's adoption fee is 900.00 and his transport fee is 165.00. Our transport is HEARTS LLC, they run every other week to their stops on the East Coast. They are the best transport and the only one we will use. 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. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. 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.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application  HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see   HERE Age: approx. 4.5 months old (as of 4/29/26) Weight: approx. 8 pounds (as of 4/29/26) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Meet the precious Pearl, a 4.5-month-old Maltese/Chihuahua mix. This little gem is sweet and Southern grown—and she’s headed up North in search of her forever home! Pearl is more than just a pretty face; she has the personality to match. She is gentle, easygoing and gets along well with just about everyone she meets. While she's been calm and playful with the children she's met, we haven't seen how she interacts with them in the home. In typical puppy fashion, she loves to run and play with other dogs in the yard, then recharges with cuddles on the couch. Don’t let those angelic eyes deceive you! She is still a puppy who will have her mischievous moments. She’s looking for a patient family that’s committed to training, playtime and loving her to bits! Will you give Pearl the pampered life she deserves? Fill out an application today!   An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see   HERE   for more information about this. To apply for this dog, fill out an adoption application on our website: Adoption Application - SOS Animal Rescue League in Rhode Island (sosarl.org)   **Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 2, 2026, 1:44 pm
