Some dogs catch your eye right away, and Romero is definitely one of them. Between his striking markings and his smile, he has a way of turning heads wherever he goes. But there is so much more to Romero than his good looks. This 2 year old, happy, active boy is always ready for whatever the day has in store. Whether it's a long walk, a game of fetch, or exploring in the yard, Romero approaches life with enthusiasm and a wagging tail. He would love a home that enjoys staying active and making memories together. One of Romero's favorite things in the world is spending time with other dogs. He lights up when he has canine friends to play with and would do wonderfully with another playful dog or a family committed to keeping him social and engaged. At the end of the day, Romero is looking for what every dog deserves: a family to love. In return, he will fill your days with laughter, loyalty, sloppy kisses, and the kind of companionship that makes every adventure a little better.

Arnold is a big hearted boy with the soul of a retired gentleman and the body of a small horse. *Please note: Arnold is currently in a foster home and can be met by appointment only. Please email us at HeartofRIAdoption@gmail.com or call (401) 467-3670 to schedule an appointment to meet him.* At 106 pounds, he’s bringing presence but don’t let the size fool you, this dog is all soft edges and slow blinks. Arnold lives for the simple things: a sunny patch of grass, a good sniff (or 400), and the quiet satisfaction of existing near his people. He’s wonderfully easygoing and is the kind of dog who makes your home feel calmer just by being in it. He is like a weighted blanket with ears. Arnold a social guy too. Great with other dogs, respectful with cats, and polite enough to keep his kennel spotless because, frankly, Arnold considers himself a proper gentleman. He prefers his bathroom breaks outdoors like the refined soul he is. He’s currently working on leash manners and learning that not every smell requires a full investigative documentary, but he’s making steady progress. With a little patience (and maybe letting him read a few scent based novels along the way), Arnold is going to be an incredible walking companion. If you’re looking for a loyal, low key, slightly drooly best friend who doubles as home décor, Arnold is your guy!

Adoption Fees Adoption fees help us continue to provide lifesaving care to animals in need. EGAPL Heart of RI is a nonprofit animal rescue and does not receive state or federal funding. The cost of veterinary care, food, supplies, staffing, transport, medications, and daily shelter operations has increased significantly.While adoption fees do not cover the full cost of caring for each animal, they help offset a portion of the medical care, housing, and support each pet receives before going home. Every adoption also helps make room for the next animal who needs safety, care, and a fresh start. DOGS Puppies under 1 year: $675 Adult dogs 1 year and older: $575 Dog adoptions include, as age appropriate: Spay or neuter surgery Rabies vaccine Distemper/parvo vaccines given while in our care, based on the dogs age and vaccine schedule Leptospirosis vaccine started while in our care, when age-appropriate Bordetella vaccineInitial deworming Heartworm testing, when age appropriate Microchip Flea and tick prevention or treatment while in our care Basic medical evaluation and care while at EGAPL Adoption counseling and take home guidance Please bring a leash and collar with you at the time of adoption, or ask our team what size is best for your new dog. CATS Kittens under 1 year: $425 Adult cats 1 year and older: $325 Cat and kitten adoptions include, as age appropriate: Spay or neuter surgery Rabies vaccine FVRCP/distemper vaccines given while in our care, based on the cat or kittens age and vaccine scheduleInitial deworming FeLV/FIV testing, when age appropriate Microchip Flea treatment or prevention while in our care Basic medical evaluation and care while at EGAPL Adoption counseling and take home guidance Please bring a secure cat carrier with you at the time of adoption. A Note About Puppy and Kitten Vaccines Puppies and kittens require a series of vaccines as they grow. We provide as many age appropriate distemper vaccines as possible while they are in our care, but young animals may still need additional boosters after adoption.Your adoption counselor will review your pets vaccine record with you so you know exactly what has been done and what may still be needed with your veterinarian. A Note About Leptospirosis Vaccines for Dogs We start dogs and puppies on the leptospirosis vaccine when age appropriate. Because some dogs are adopted before the booster is due, the full lepto series may not be completed before adoption. Your adoption counselor will review your dog's vaccine record with you and let you know whether a booster is still needed with your veterinarian. After Adoption Veterinary Care We recommend setting up an appointment with your veterinarian shortly after adoption. This helps your new pet establish care, allows your veterinarian to review their medical and vaccine history, and ensures they stay on track for any boosters or follow up care they may need. Flea and tick prevention, as well as heart worm prevention for dogs, are typically prescription products. Your veterinarian can help choose the safest and most appropriate preventatives for your pet based on their age, weight, medical history, and lifestyle. Why Adoption Fees Matter Every animal who comes through our doors receives individualized care. Some arrive healthy and simply need vaccines, spay/neuter surgery, and a safe place to land. Others need emergency care, diagnostics, treatment for parasites or infections, dental care, behavior support, special food, foster care, or weeks to months of daily shelter care before they are ready for adoption.Your adoption fee helps support that full circle of care. It helps the pet you are bringing home, and it helps the next animal who needs us. Thank you for choosing adoption and for supporting the lifesaving work of EGAPL Heart of RI.
