Story
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. Dory is a 5-6 month German shepherd Weight 33lbs she has a special little face as her eyes are not level, she was born that way, it’s not a result of any injuries she’s perfectly fine apart from that. She has an extremely high prey drive so she needs the kind of adopter that is familiar with the breed and raise her properly. She appears to be a full blood shepherd.

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.

Story
OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE REGARDING DAVID ROSE David Rose is a 3.5 month old Bully mixed breed puppy who has somehow combined the emotional range of a Shakespearean actor with the impulse control of a shopping cart rolling downhill. Like his Schitt's Creek namesake, David has very strong opinions. He is just still working on identifying what those opinions are. David wanted us to make sure to tell everyone that he absolutely wants friends. Unfortunately, he has developed the interesting strategy of introducing himself by launching his entire body into the conversation. He calls it enthusiasm. Everyone else calls it, "Ew, David." We've begun documenting recent interactions. Current findings include: David sees another dog. David becomes excited. David immediately forgets every social skill he has ever practiced. David enters the chat at approximately thirty miles per hour. The meeting concludes. Progress is being made. Slowly. Very slowly. To his credit, David genuinely means well and his heart is enormous. His self awareness is just still buffering and we're working on it. David is funny, chunky, affectionate, endlessly entertaining, and completely convinced every situation can be improved with additional enthusiasm. Behavioral consultants describe him as eager. Our staff sometimes describes him as "a lot." Both statements are correct. David isn't looking for perfection. He's looking for a family that understands puppyhood is messy, social skills take practice, and sometimes the sweetest dogs are simply the ones with the biggest feelings. Qualifications for an adopter include: An appreciation for wildly dramatic entrances. An understanding that "inside voice" should probably also apply to body language. A willingness to teach a tiny bulldozer that friendship does not always require full contact. Willingness to fall completely in love with a puppy whose heart is much bigger than his manners. David Rose may be a work in progress, but one thing is already perfectly clear. He's simply the best.
