German Pit Bull puppies and dogs in Cranston, Rhode Island

Chuckie may start off a little cautious, but just like his Rugrats namesake, once he knows he’s safe, his goofy, lovable personality shines through. He is 5 months old and is a Bully mixed breed. He’s the thoughtful one of the group. He might take a moment to observe before jumping in, but don’t let that fool you because he absolutely loves to play once he has a little time to warm up.  This adorable, chunky pup is expected to grow into a medium sized, sturdy build. Chuckie would thrive in a home that understands that sometimes the best friendships take a little patience. In return, you’ll get a deeply loyal, affectionate pup who will stick by your side through every adventure (even the slightly scary ones).  ADOPTION INFORMATION HOW TO GO ABOUT ADOPTING: - Come in during adoption hours to apply and fill out an application completely.

🚨 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: COME MEET KIRA IMMEDIATELY! She is absolutely adorable, and currently accepting applications for the very important role of “people who will love her properly.” Kira is a very good girl with a huge heart, a sweet face, and the kind of personality that makes you immediately wonder how she ended up needing a new home.She was relinquished after her previous owner repeatedly let her run loose, where she made some poor choices involving neighborhood chickens. To be fair, Kira would like to state for the record that chickens are suspicious little dinosaurs, she was simply conducting field research, and no none ever taught her manners. Which is absolutely not her fault. What we know for sure is that Kira is loving, affectionate, and so happy to be with people. She has lived with kids, gets along with other dogs, and is the kind of girl who really just needs someone to keep her safe, contained, and set up for success. Kira is not looking for a free range lifestyle. She’s looking for a family, a secure yard or leash walks, snuggles, guidance, and maybe zero direct access to poultry based drama. She is sweet, beautiful, and extremely ready to retire from chicken investigations. HOW TO GO ABOUT ADOPTING: - Come in during adoption hours to apply and fill out an application completely.

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.
