Story
Jet is a three year old pure bred Rottweiler. She is AFFECTIONATE, strong willed and happy! Jet makes a great companion to someone who is a strong dog owner that has knowledge of the breed and has time to work with Jet to refine and develop commands. Jet has worked with trainers and knows basic commands such as sit, wait, down, paw, and no. Jet is extremely intelligent and has the potential to develop commands on an intermediate and even advanced level given the time and effort this will take. Jet loves people and she is very affectionate! She gets along well with male dogs, especially, and attends daycare 1-2 days per week to socialize. Jet can be very reactive and territorial while on the leash and around other dogs, as well as, when in the car when other dogs and people are passing by. We have been working to decrease this reactivity, however, it can still be an issue. Jet is 100% crate trained! If you are looking for a strong, loving, intelligent dog, Jet is the girl for you!

Story
Some dogs arrive with big personalities that immediately fill the room. Papi De La Calle takes a different approach. He brings his quiet confidence and good looks secures a spot on the couch. Simply, he is easy company and so easy to enjoy. Estimated to be around 3 years old and looking very much like an American Pit Bull Terrier mix, keep in mind though- Papi is a rescue, so breed and age are simply our best guess. What we know for certain thanks to his adoring foster family is that he is a well-mannered, medium-energy gentleman with excellent dog social skills, lovely house manners, and an easygoing nature that makes him a wonderful companion. Go watch Papi Chulo on YouTube, then come right back to read more about this handsome boy. https://youtu.be/Nkqwchw1mkc Papi is currently thriving in a foster home with six other dogs ranging from a senior Chihuahua to younger Pit Bull mixes, and he gets along beautifully with all of them. In fact, he shares his space so comfortably that everyone sleeps together in the same dog room. During his afternoon with us outside of his foster home, he greeted new dogs thoughtfully and respectfully, handled both on-leash and off-leash introductions well, and showed that he can comfortably live as either a solo dog or as part of a multi-dog household. One of our favorite things about Papi is how steady he is. He's not overly busy, not overly demanding, and not looking to be the life of the party. In playgroups he is more interested in wandering, sniffing, and taking in the world than stirring up excitement. He enjoys companionship but doesn't require constant entertainment, making him the kind of dog who is wonderfully easy to live with. Papi also comes with some very practical perks. He is crate trained, trustworthy in the home, rides beautifully in the car, loads in and out with ease, and walks nicely on leash with gentle guidance. His foster describes him as well-behaved and generous with others, and we couldn't agree more. When meeting new people, Papi likes to play it cool at first. He likes to gather information with a few sniffs before deciding you're a friend. Once he settles in, he relaxes comfortably and shows just how sweet and easygoing he truly is, with an impressive ability to handle new situations without becoming overwhelmed. Papi would love a home with a yard where he can stretch his legs and enjoy some outdoor time. He can happily join a home with other respectful dogs or be the one and only canine companion soaking up all the attention himself. We introduced Papi to our house cat and it was easy to see he may have passed on playing chase with the dogs but he would have loved to play chase with the cat- fun or not, that means no cats for him. If you're looking for a dog who doesn't need to be the center of every moment, but will quietly become one of your favorite parts of every day, Papi Chulo is exactly who you've been waiting for!

Story
Hello everyone! I'm a handsome and friendly 3-year-old, 54 lb Rottweiler / German Shepherd mix named Scruffles. My journey began as a stray puppy in Von Ormy, Texas, where locals fed me before a foster took me in and took great care of me. Lucky me, when I moved to Rhode Island, and I took to it like a fish to water! My new foster mom says I'm a total sweetheart, well-behaved, housebroken, and very deserving of a family of my own. I love kids of all ages. I am vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped, and more than ready to meet you! I am an extremely friendly boy, always wagging and smiling, amazing with people and amazing with kids. I have a great personality, a happy demeanor, and a medium-energy level, not overactive and not boring or lazy, just the perfect amount of energy for playtime, running, family activities, and social gatherings. I am always ready for any fun adventures. I am sweet and affectionate, but not the kissy type, so I won't be slobbering all over you. More than anything, I love my people, listen well, and aim to please. Inquire about me today. * 4 Little Paws is based in CT. We adopt in many different states along the East Coast. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. If you are located outside the states we typically adopt to, we have options to get the dog of your dreams to your location.

Story
🐾 Meet Chunk! 🐾 Chunk's story is one of resilience, hope, and second chances. At one point, Chunk was simply left behind and forgotten. Through no fault of his own, he found himself without the love and security every dog deserves. But thanks to a lot of time, patience, and dedication, Chunk has blossomed into an incredible boy who is finally learning what it means to be loved. Today, Chunk is a sweet, loving companion with so much potential. He may need a family that understands his past and is willing to continue building his confidence, but the reward is a loyal friend who will love you with his whole heart. Chunk isn't looking for a perfect family—he's looking for the right family. One that will be patient, kind, and willing to give him the time he needs to fully settle in and trust. In return, he'll show you just how amazing a second chance can be. Chunk is currently heartworm positive, but that doesn't stop him from being an amazing dog deserving of a loving home. He will continue receiving treatment even after adoption, so his future family can focus on helping him settle in and enjoy the life he's always deserved. ❤️ Sometimes the dogs who have been forgotten make the most unforgettable companions. Could Chunk be the missing piece of your family?
