You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see HERE Age: 4 months (as of 2/13/26) Weight: 7 lbs (as of 2/13/26) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Meet the Football Litter — Sweet Rescue Puppies Ready for Their Forever Homes! This special litter came to us with big hearts and even bigger personalities. There are two beautiful girls; Aggie and Clemson, and three handsome boys; Sparty, Tiger, and Gator. The pup’s mom is a purebred Shih Tzu and dad a Beagle mix. They’re gentle, affectionate, and thrive on human connection. Whether you’re looking for a snuggler, a playmate, or a loyal companion, one of these pups is ready to fit right into your life. They are friendly with other dogs and seem interested in cats in a playful way. They haven’t mastered “big dog” skills yet, but are working on potty training and crate training. Learning to walk on leash has yet to begin. They each will need an adopter who has the time, energy, and patience to commit to continuing their education, and who has plenty of time for exercise and play - all those things that make raising a puppy a lot of work, but with the huge reward of an awesome canine companion. Attending puppy obedience training is a must and will help solidify your pup’s social skills, boost his or her self-confidence, all while learning basic commands and having fun! If you are looking for a puppy, Sparty, or one of his littermates, may be perfect for you! Fill out an application today and let him know that you'd love to have him join your family! An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this. To apply for this dog, fill out an adoption application on our website: Adoption Application - SOS Animal Rescue League in Rhode Island (sosarl.org) **Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
