Story
Meet Petunia! Despite her name, this girl is no delicate or wilting summer flower. When Petunia was found as a stray by Providence Animal Control, she was scared, skinny, and in need of a little love. It took a few minutes and a handful of treats to earn her trust, but then she showed us her sweet and playful personality. Petunia loves to chase toys, tear the squeakers from her stuffies, play a competitive game of tug, and shred cardboard boxes in search of hidden treats. But once all that is done? She’s up for a nap and snuggle time with her people. She’s still young, estimated to be about 1-2 years old, and is quickly returning to a healthy weight. Though we don’t know much of Petunia’s past, she is currently thriving in foster care and her foster family only gave good things to say about her. She’s house trained, well behaved, and enjoying the company of a smaller, playful dog. **if you are interested in Petunia, please complete an adopter’s profile at parl.org and email cshamgochian@parl.org to set up a meet and greet. Petunia is in foster care and is not available during regular open hours without an appointment**

Story
Meet Rocco Meet Rocco. He came to my house last week for an evaluation.... and I liked him so much I asked if he could spend the weekend while I got to know him a little better. He's a big lug of a guy with an even bigger heart. Rocco is a calm guy, nervous at first in a new environment, but tries his best. He loves to plop his bum right into the lap of his person, snuggle on the couch, and keep watch out of the window. He is a quiet guy. Sometimes off to himself, sometimes joining folks on the couch. I suspect he will be fine with cats, but since each cat is an individual, a meet and greet would be critical. He walks and hangs out with some other dogs. I have seen no prey drive from Rocco, instead, he has sat and watched the birds and squirrels in my window feeder. We are working on crate training and stairs. At present, stairs are a little too scary for Rocco. Rocco has some allergies that are controlled with over the counter medications. Rocco is a resident of Scituate Shetler where he is a staff and volunteer favorite. Unfortunately he has been there since January, so they asked us to help them get him seen by someone who will want to take him home and love him forever. We are grateful they did, "to know Rocco is to love him". Rocco comes with a Handsome Dan's Rescue Take My Lead grant entitling him to up to $500 in private training and supplies.

🐾 Meet Oscar! 🐾 This handsome boy was found crying under a van during a storm, and thanks to a Good Samaritan, he’s now safe and ready to find his forever home. 💙 ✨ About Oscar: Young pup full of energy and love ⚡ Crate trained 🐕‍🦺 Great with kids, but still learning manners 👧👦 Loves other dogs! 🐶🐶 Enjoys walks, outdoor playtime, and then curling up on the couch for snuggles 🛋️💤 Cuddler extraordinaire 💕 Oscar is playful and can roughhouse with dogs close to his age, but he also has a big soft side. Once he’s had his fun, he’s happiest curled up in your lap soaking up affection. With his enthusiasm for life, he’ll thrive with a family who can give him structure, exercise, and plenty of love. 🐕 Ideal Home: Oscar would do best in an active home.

Story
Meet Star! 🐾😍 This little cutie is a 5-month-old Boxer mix who’s basically sunshine in puppy form! With one icy blue eye, a pink nose with a perfect black heart on it (seriously, could she be any cuter?), and a smile that could light up a whole room, she’s impossible not to fall in love with. Star is deaf and blind in one eye, but she doesn’t let that slow her down one bit! Want a pup who’s quiet and won’t bark when the doorbell rings? Star’s your girl! She’s playful, affectionate, and loves to snuggle — her favorite place to sleep is right beside her foster mom in bed 🥰 She’s friendly and does great with kids, cats, and other dogs. She would thrive in a home with another canine buddy to help show her the ropes. She’s smart, already housebroken, and quickly learning sign language with her foster family. Star is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to find her forever home — one that will adore her sweet spirit, gentle nature, and that beautiful smiling face. 💕 RPACI is a non profit rescue, and currently possess our 501C3 to operate as such. Please visit us on Facebook: Rebecca's Paws and Claws in Remlap and our website: www.rpacirescue.org. All dogs from this rescue are transported from Alabama to the New England area and delivered in RI. Each dog will come fully vetted. Price also includes transportation and a Health Certificate as required by law. There is a 100.00 deposit required at the time of adoption to secure the transport crate. The remainder of the fee will be paid once you pick up the dog. Naturally the 100.00 comes off the total owed at pick up. It will be refunded if for any reason you decide you do not want to adopt, unless the transport has already left.with the dog. To get a application please go to: saveapreciouspaw@gmail.com

Story
Meet Jasmine! 🐾😍 With her adorable face, perky ears, and soft brindle coat, this 11-month-old Boxer/Staffordshire Terrier mix is pure cuteness wrapped in fur. She’s super sweet and affectionate, always ready with cuddles once she’s gotten her playtime in. Jasmine is playful, energetic, and full of joy—she loves chew bones, squeaky toys, balls, and especially splashing around in the water! After running off her zoomies, she’s happiest curled up close, following you from room to room like the most loyal little shadow. She can be a tad shy at first, but warms up quickly and then her happy, silly personality shines. Jasmine adores kids, cats, and other dogs, though we recommend older kids in the home since her enthusiasm might knock down tiny toddlers by accident. She’s already crate trained and housebroken, spayed, and up to date on vaccinations. Jasmine is the perfect mix of fun and snuggles, just waiting for her forever family to find her. ❤️ RPACI is a non profit rescue, and currently possess our 501C3 to operate as such.

Meet Emma! 🐾😍 She’s a 11-month-old boxer mix, and just look at that sweet face! With her sleek black coat, floppy ears, and big soulful brown eyes, she’s the kind of pup that turns heads everywhere she goes. Emma has such a soft, gentle presence, and there’s something about the way she gazes up at you that feels like pure love and devotion. She’s the kind of dog who makes you smile without even trying. Emma is incredibly sweet, gentle, loving, and affectionate. She’s the perfect companion for little adventurers or anyone looking for a fun hiking buddy. She’s very social and does wonderfully with kids and other dogs, and she would thrive in a home with another canine friend to play and snuggle with. A feline-free home would be best for her, as her instincts may lead her to chase cats. She is crate trained, doing fantastic with house training, and eager to please her people. Emma is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to bring so much love and joy into her forever family’s life. Whoever welcomes her home will truly be lucky to have her! ❤️ RPACI is a non profit rescue, and currently possess our 501C3 to operate as such.
