Story
LICORICE is one tiny little cow! Actually he's a lively little mixed breed boy looking for a home. He's a terrier mix-type, about 1 year old and fully grown at 12 pounds. What breeds? Really it's anyone's guess -- could be part rat terrier? Jack Russell terrier? chihuahua? Whatever the mix, Licorice is fun, energetic, friendly, good with other dogs, but one thing he's not is a lap dog. Licorice likes to GO. He'll cuddle when playtime is over, but this little guy needs to run and play and burn up some energy. He's best suited to a home where he will have another doggie playmate. Licorice is housebroken and crate trained and fine with cats and other dogs. If you'd like to meet this adorable little spotty boy, please fill out a dog adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter. You can meet Licorice at our weekly adoption event, Saturday 11:30am-1:30pm at PetSmart Eastgate. Our fully vetted adoptable dogs go to prospective homes for a one-week trial period to make sure the dog and home are the right fit before an adoption is finalized. We only adopt dogs into homes where all current pets are spayed/neutered and current on vaccines and heartworm and flea and tick prevention. We do check veterinary references to make sure adopters are compliant with standard veterinary care. Our adoptable dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested, dewormed and current on flea and tick and heartworm prevention.

Story
Welcome back Jax (Newton) ❤️ Born 5/19/23, approximately 20lbs, neutered male Introducing Jax! Jax is looking for a new family, he was adopted as a puppy but was returned to rescue. Jax is a Mountain Cur/ Australian Cattle Dog and Rat Terrier mix, which means he is driven and craves attention. He has an eagerness to please that we don’t see in many dogs, making him a fantastic dog for someone who enjoys the outdoors, such as hiking, walking, camping or just a leisure walk around the neighborhood. Jax would also excel at agility or a similar activity, he is a quick and agile guy. Jax can be a bit possessive of his person and his toys so he needs a person who while give him clear direction and corrections. He responds very well to verbal commands, he knows what is expected, but he likes to push those boundaries sometimes, he is still young after all. Jax is totally house and crate trained. He walks well on a leash and knows several commands such as sit, down, shake, drop it and stay. If Jax sounds like he would be a good fit for your life, he would love to meet you! He current on vaccines, microchipped, and neutered. We are accepting applications at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SHPA/Dog

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Morticia! Morticia is a spunky, sweet girl who is ready to leave her past behind and find a forever family of her own. She was owner surrendered along with her three puppies, and after all four of them survived parvo, Morticia is ready for the happy chapter she deserves. Morticia is a loving girl who enjoys being around other dogs and absolutely loves spending time in your lap. She may be a little bigger than a 5-pound Chihuahua, but she certainly does not realize it! When she gets excited to see you and wants your attention, she can get a little carried away and may give you an enthusiastic scratch, begging for any attention and love she can get. She just has so much love and excitement to share and doesn't always realize her greetings can be a little too much sometimes. That most likely will all settle down once she realizes she found her forever home.  Once you get to know Morticia, it's easy to see what a wonderful girl she is. She is affectionate, playful, happy, and eager to be loved. She would love a family who will appreciate her fun personality and give her the patience and affection she deserves. Adoption fee $300. Morticia is spayed, microchipped, 4DX tested, current on vaccines, and is on ProHeart 12 and Bravecto. She did test positive for anaplasmosis and is finishing treatment.

If transportation is needed, there is an additional $250 transport fee. Unfortunately, due to state regulations, Morticia cannot travel to Rhode Island or Massachusetts.
