Story
Meet Wilder, a little puppy with a big personality who will still be a very manageable size when full grown. If you’ve been waiting for a charming small- to medium-sized pup, Wilder may be your guy.   The breed results for Wilder’s brother Bates showed that these pups are 42 percent Australian Cattle dog and small amounts of 19 other breeds. Pug was the second highest at 13 percent, and they had small percentages of many other small breeds including dachshund, chihuahua, beagle, rat terrier and cocker spaniel. Their parents were both around 30 lbs, so we think they’ll be 30-something lbs when full grown. Wilder and Bates are the sweetest and most fun little boys who are attached at the hip. If they’re not following their foster mom everywhere, then they’re following each other. They love jostling over toys, and then collecting them all in their bed so they can take a nap with them. They love to snuggle with their toys, each other and their humans. They’re very friendly and affectionate with humans and other dogs. Wilder loves treats and is very smart. Born May 19th, he’s almost fully potty trained and sleeps quietly in his crate at night at less than three months old. He is always looking to his foster mom for directions on what’s next. He’s very eager to please! If you’re looking for a good-natured puppy who will grow up and still be a very manageable size, please apply for sweet little Wilder. If interested in adopting one of our available pets, please fill out an application at https://www.dixiegirldogrescue.org/forms PLEASE MAKE NOTE- OUR DOGS ARE FOSTERED IN ALABAMA (UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED), OUR DOGS TRANSPORT TO THEIR NEW FAMILIES IN RHODE ISLAND AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN ADOPTED.

As a Rescue do not euthanize dogs but dogs that are listed as URGENT are still waiting to be saved from animal control and they do euthanise. We can only save them when space is available or have an adopter. Meet Pua! This little pug mix boy is your new pint sized best friend! At 1 years old he has the goofiness of a puppy, but the sweetness of a lap dog. Pua is full grown at 30lbs and is the perfect size for any family or household. He is super sweet with all people and very dog friendly. He loves to run around the yard and then ends it with in your lap. The best part about Pua is his underbite! He is heartworm negative and ready to find his forever home.

Story
Adoption Donation  $ 399 Location: RI  (Transportation costs included to the Northeast , plz ask for more details) Age: approx 8 years old Weight: 21  lbs. MEET CASH! - AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION Have you ever met a dog who is literally the definition of "Nice"? Let me introduce you to Cash, our absolute sweetheart of a foster. At 8 years old, this classic pug (look at that tongue-out pose! ) has been through a very difficult time. He was found with his beloved owner, who passed away, and he waited faithfully by their side for several days before being found. Understandably, this has left him with some anxiety. He has a lot of love left to give, but he needs to know he isn’t being left behind again. Cash is looking for a forever home where he won't be left alone for long periods. A pet parent who works from home, is retired, or simply has a companion for him would be perfect. He is a truly sweet and gentle boy, and as a true pug, he will tell you his second-favorite thing in the world is mealtime (the first is you). I am currently fostering him and he is ready to show a new family how good he can be. Are you the one who can give this loyal senior a happy second act?  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.

Meet sweet, short, sassy, solid Mayo who is about 2 yrs old and 25lbs. This cute low rider is full of joy and ready to share it with your family! She raised her pups and is making up for lost time being one herself now in her foster home. This funny girl gravitates to ponds to swim in, loves a good roll and scratch in the grass and socializes with everyone from the cats to the XL dogs living with her. She is totally unaware of her size, loves to meet strangers, go for car rides and is always up for an adventure. She would love a home with other dogs but this girl would also love to be the only one, soaking up all the attention and being your sidekick! Mayo is house and crate trained, spayed, microchipped and fully vetted. If you would like to welcome this little cutie into your family please email bigyellowgoose018@gmail.com for an application.

Story
🎉 Meet Al! The Ultimate Playmate! 🐾 Get ready to zoom! Al is a striking, 65 lb Bully mix boy (DOB: 09/04/24) who brings a massive dose of fun and snuggles everywhere he goes. 💖 All About the Love If you are looking for an affectionate dog, look no further! Al is an absolute love bug who is incredibly affectionate with everyone. Seriously, all people—including kids—are his best friends! He is neutered, fully current on all his medical needs (vaccines, heartworm, and flea prevention), and microchipped for life. He's also a smart cookie: he is crate trained, house broken and knows some basic commands already! 🤸 Ready, Set, GO! This handsome hunk is a firecracker! Al has high energy, so forget lazy afternoons—he MUST have vigorous daily exercise to burn off steam and be his happiest, most balanced self. He’s looking for an active family ready for adventures. Because of his need to run and play safely, a securely fenced yard is required. A quick word on little ones: While he adores children, his enthusiasm and size can sometimes be "too much" for the smallest kids; he could accidentally knock a tiny human over during playtime. A home with older, sturdy children would be the best fit! 🐈 Critter Connections He's been good with cats, but watch out—he's a bit of a goofball and tends to "harass" them (in a playful way, of course!). Tolerant felines are a must, or maybe just a cat-free zone. Al is ready to be your shadow, your running buddy, and your ultimate couch potato after a good long walk. Are you ready for his all-star energy?
