Story
Ruby CAS is currently in RI and looking for a 'furever' home! Ruby has had multiple litters in her life and has that protective mama gene. She can be barky when visitors come over and can be a little too rough with some dogs, she gets along best with boy dogs her size that want to play with her but don’t threaten her either. She wants to be with you at all times and loves to sit high up like windowsills or on tables. She is very quirky, very playful and loves to be outside. She warms up quicker to women than men. She will make a family very happy if you give her the chance to trust you! **Due to clinic delays: this puppy will be available for adoption with the collection of an additional $100 spay/neuter voucher deposit, which will be refunded upon receipt of successful procedure at our partnering clinic. If you are interested in adopting this dog please complete the adoption application at www.rhodehomerescue.org/adoption-form to become a pre-approved adopter. If you were already approved through Rhode Home Rescue within the last 6 months, contact us today! Be sure to check our Facebook page "Rhode Home Rescue" for details on upcoming events and other announcements.

PALMER is from a shihtzu breeder who asked us to assist as she is going out of business. He is learning life in the world outside of a crate and are doing very well!. He is very playful, fun loving little boy doing well going outside and pottying. He is doing just great with the dogs too and learning about toys, dog beds, grass and that people pet them. It is so exciting adopting one of these dogs, participating and teaching them. Each day is a new different day.

If you have already applied in the past, then please send us a message with your name and what dog you are now interested in being considered for and we will pull off the server. We do not choose by a first come first serve basis. So if the dog is still up on the site, consider the dog AVAILABLE. We do take down quickly when adopted.

Story
Tobi and Tyson are a package deal. Tobi is a full bred Chihuahua from a kennel in Pennsylvania, born April 28, 2019. Tyson is a full bred Shih Tzu from a different kennel in Pennsylvania, born September 11, 2018. We need to rehome them because we are moving apart and cannot take pets with us. We’d like keep them together, because they grew up together and are homebodies because we’ve worked from home for the past few years. Tyson is pretty codependent on Tobi and doesn’t like to be alone a lot, so Tobi is his best friend. Tobi is not as codependent. Neither of them are extremely socialized because of Covid, but Tyson is approachable and sweet. He gets along with people and children. Tobi is more temperamental, but is fine once he warms up to you. They like to have fun and play together and sleep together. We’d like them to have each other since they no longer have us. ❤️‍🩹They are up-to-date on their shots and they are home trained.

Meet Bruno! Bruno is about 7 years old, 14 lbs, and he may have some Shih Tzu in his mix! He is a local owner surrender because the person doesn't have enough time for him and wants him to be home with someone. He does great with his house-training, is not crated and likes to go on leash-walks. He does bark at other dogs on leash. He could go to a home with kids 10+, and would love to be an only dog. Cats are unknown.His foster says, "He would do great in a home of a retiree or someone who is home throughout the day. He would love a fenced in yard. He sleeps in bed with me and is very snuggly."He is available for adoption in Hopkinton MA by appointment. Please fill out an application on our website at https://www.browndogcoalition.com/adoptable as a first step.-Puppies may not be given as gifts or surprises.-Please thoughtfully discuss with your entire household the physical, safety, financial and emotional responsibilities of a puppy BEFORE applying to adopt.- More information about our adoption process, application and adoption fees can be found at browndogcoalition.com

Story
Romeo and Juliet were both street dogs, traveling everywhere together, looking for food and love. They were finally picked up by animal control in Georgia where they remained on a stray hold until they could be released. Animal control soon realized that Juliet was pregnant by Romeo so they called us to see if we could get them out of there before she gave birth. We had them immediately transported here to Tennessee and two weeks later she gave birth to 7 puppies. Sadly one was stillborn but the remaining 6 are all healthy happy babies who have all been adopted. Now it's Juliet's turn. She is crate trained, fully vaccinated, microchipped, spayed and heart worm negative. Juliet is very high energy but extremely lovable. She is excellent with my 3 year old granddaughter and as you can see in the photo, fine with cats. Wouldn't you love to give her a loving and forever home! PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE LOCATED IN TENNESSEE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR PETS PRIOR TO ADOPTION ADOPTION FEE $700
