Adoption Donation  $ 399 Location: RI  (Transportation costs included to the Northeast , plz ask for more details) Age: approx 8 years old Weight: 21  lbs. Cash has very limited vision. He was found in a home after four days with his deceased owner. He doesn't like to be alone so someone who is home often.   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:  diliam2004@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.

This boy is fully vetted, micro chipped and is also dog friendly. He is people, friendly, playful, goofy, and joy to be around. He deserves a second chance, after being let down by his first family.

Story
Cuteness overload warning!! Have you ever seen a puppy as cute as Jet? Jet was part of a litter surrendered to us back in July. His previous owners originally wanted to keep him, but as Jet got older and bigger, they decided they no longer wanted him and surrendered him to us. Jet had been running the streets along the Texas/Mexico border. He deserved so much more, and now it’s time to find him the family he was always meant to have — one who will love him unconditionally, keep him safe, and show him just how wonderful life can be. Born: May 3rd, 2026 Breed: Shih Tzu × Pug × Dachshund mix Weight: Approximately 11 lbs Jet is the happiest puppy! He absolutely LOVES being around people and will do just about anything to make his humans happy. When Jet first came into our care, we immediately gave him a much-needed bath. Afterwards, he celebrated with the cutest zoomies! He was so happy to be clean, surrounded by people doting on him, and other dogs ready to play. Jet is super-duper playful and has the most adorable butt wiggles you’ve ever seen. When he gets excited, his little butt goes completely sideways! Dogs: Jet loves other dogs and would do fantastic in a home with another playful pup. Cats: He has met cats and has had no issues with them, although he can be a little too energetic for some kitties. Hair: Has wire hair, does not seem to shed much, or at all. Toys: LOVES them! Cuddles: Absolutely! Food & treats: VERY food motivated and will happily accept anything you’re willing to pass his way! Jet loves to play, loves to cuddle, loves his toys, and honestly just seems to love life itself. He is well socialized and, if someone ever breaks into your house, he will probably do absolutely nothing to stop them — except perhaps wag his tail and ask for treats and pets. He is still a young baby, so Jet will need proper training, exercise, patience, consistency, and LOTS of love as he continues to grow and learn. After everything he has been through, Jet deserves a family who will never give up on him again. Any family would truly hit the jackpot by welcoming Jet into their home. If you think Jet could be your perfect little sidekick, please reach out and give this sweet boy the forever home he deserves! Jet is current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, and current on de-wormer. PLEASE READ BELOW CAREFULLY: The next step is to apply to adopt you can go to our website at: www.pawsitive-Impact-animal-rescue.org This animal is currently located in Texas, but we do NOT adopt animals in Texas due to the hundreds of animals being euthanized here daily. We ONLY do adopt in Central US and the East Coast. The adoption fee listed ($795) INCLUDES transport from Texas to the Northeast. Transport goes to the following locations every 2-3 weeks: Albany, NY Port Chester, NY area Anemia, NY area Wells, VT and Brattleboro, VT Nashua, NH Willington, CT - Stamford, CT - Dayville, CT Steubenville, OH – Cincinnati, OH – Grove City, OH Grove City, PA and Washington, PA Ridgefield, NJ - Bordentown, NJ - Egg Harbor City, NJ Emmitsburg, MD - Elkton, MD - Hagerstown, MD Falls Church, VA and Glenn Allen, VA We have happily adopted hundreds of animals this way (long distance), and we do our best to make sure the animal you are applying for is the best fit for your home. With an approved application, we do put you in touch with the Texas foster who has the doggy for you to make sure they are the perfect fit.
