Learn more about this event and sign up for 10am Early Entry  HERE  Age: 2 years Weight: 70 lbs (as of 10/28/26) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Denny’s story started with a heartbreak, but we know his next chapter is going to be full of love. This sweet 2-year-old pup was found abandoned, wandering the streets alone. Denny didn't deserve to be left behind, but despite it all, his spirit isn't broken. He is resilient, hopeful, and ready for a fresh start. Because Denny was found as a stray, we don't currently know how he feels about cats or children. He will need a patient family willing to do slow, proper introductions to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Denny has spent his youth facing uncertainty, and now he is just looking for a loyal companion who will never give up on him. Could you be the one to show Denny what a real, permanent home feels like? Medical Note:  This dog is being treated/has been treated for heartworm disease.  Untreated heartworm disease can cause lasting damage to the heart, lungs and arteries, and can affect the dog’s health and quality of life even after the parasites are gone, possibly presenting as medical complications and/or new conditions in the future.  Whenever possible, SOSARL advocates for following the American Heartworm Society guidelines for heartworm disease treatment as the safest and most effective methods; the active portion of this treatment protocol can take up to four months to complete.  Once treatment is completed and the dog tests negative for microfilaria, the dog will be cleared to resume normal activity and will be ready to travel north and be placed into an adoptive home.  This dog showed no symptoms of heartworm disease before or during treatment, and is expected to complete treatment with no complications.  Please ask your Adoption Counselor for the specific treatment protocol used for and current status of this dog.  Please check with your vet if you have any questions or concerns about this medical history. 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.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 1, 2026, 1:00 pm

Meet your new adventure buddy Lucky! This 2-year-old Schnauzer mix has had a rough start, but he is officially ready to turn the page and find his forever family.

Here is what makes him so special: Ultimate travel partner: He is incredibly good in the car and always ready for a road trip. Outdoor enthusiast: True to his heritage, he absolutely loves to go on hikes and navigate the trails. Playful companion: He has a great time playing and will keep you smiling with his happy antics.
