Story
Meet Roo, the shelter's bundle of joy! Roo's a playful and funny dog who brings energy and laughter wherever she goes. A true survivor, Roo has shown remarkable resilience as she's made the long journey of recovery from severe malnutrition. She has continued to thrive since being at the shelter. Her playful antics and eagerness to learn make her the perfect companion for anyone looking for a loyal and loving friend. Roo is about 4 years old, spayed and current on vaccinations. She does need to stay on a prescription diet for the time being as well as probiotics so her GI system can continue to heal. Roo likes other dogs, has previously lived with cats and doesn't seem interested in chasing them. She does however, have an Achilles Heel; riding in the car. Roo needs to be in a seat belt harness or crated in the car, as she finds it too exciting to stay in one place!

Story
Cody’s journey hasn’t been easy, but he’s proven time and time again just how strong and adaptable dogs can be. After an early injury, Cody had to say goodbye to one of his legs—but that hasn’t slowed him down one bit. He’s fully embraced life as a tripod and has blossomed into a whole new dog: silly, curious, and full of personality. Cody loves to explore, nap in sunny spots, and enjoy all the little things that make life sweet. He’s looking for someone who appreciates his spirit and is ready to cheer him on as he continues thriving in his next chapter. If you’re a fellow tripod lover—or just someone who believes in second chances—Cody might be the perfect match for you. 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!

Story
Kismet is a sweet little bean has had a rough start to life and she's searching for her forever home to turn it all around!Kismet is only six months old so she's just a baby. She's still learning the ways of the world and still trying to find her place. To make matters worse, she came to us with a fractured front leg that had been left untreated for some time. Luckily, after consulting a couple of vets, there was no need for surgery or amputation and Kismet has been the most patient, bravest little soldier while it heals. Kismet weighs about 38lbs right now but is a growing girl and still has plenty of time and room to grow. She's an absolutely stunning girl and is literally the color of champagne and just as bubbly once she gets to know you. A shy princess at first, it doesn't take her long to fall in love with you and it won't take you long to fall in love with her either. It's impossible to resist how bouncy and silly this pretty puppy girl is.Considering the fact that she's still very much a puppy, she still needs some help working on her leash manners. Right now she's a little zigzaggy but she's super smart and picks up on things very quickly. She's eager to please and eager for attention so she's been an absolute delight to work with. We don't think that she was ever socialized with other dogs because she doesn't really seem to know what to do with them but she might do well with the right dog that has patience for puppy antics and the fact that she's a little bit socially awkward. She's scared of cats and almost jumped out of her own skin when one tried to slap her through the bars of their kennel. Older kids (12+) preferred because we don't know if she's ever been around kids and she's a big baby with no manners.All in all, Kismet is the best girl that is going to be an absolute joy to watch grow and mature. Since she is a "restricted breed", you must own your own home or live in a home owned by a family member to adopt her.To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application. Once complete, you can email it to us at fpas1@foreverpaws.com or fax it to us at 508-677-9175.

Amora is the most beautiful hippo in the whole world! She can be a little nervous, so sometimes just relaxing on a couch or hanging out in the yard is her preferred past time.

When she masters a trick, her smile could light up the night! Those interested in Amora are encouraged to reach out to learn more about what makes this girl so special!

Story
Meet Caily! Caily is a sweet girl that could walk for miles with her favorite people. She is a strong girl who doesn't know her own strength, so a home with teens + would be the best fit for her. Caily loves snacks and is quick to sit for a nice reward. It is unknown if Caily would do well with other animals in the home, but we do believe she would thrive as an only pet.

Meet Buster!This sweet and handsome pup, with the biggest and most endearing ears you’ve ever seen, is ready to find his forever home. Buster’s story started out a little rough—he was found as a stray, thin and emaciated—but you’d never know it now. Thanks to the love and care of his foster family, he’s blossomed into a happy, healthy boy who is eager to share his gentle heart with everyone he meets.Buster is friendly with kids, loves other dogs, and enjoys spending time with people. He is the happiest dog, always wagging his tail!He is housetrained and does well with either a doggie door or a regular potty schedule. He is still learning to communicate when he needs to go out, so his future family should be prepared to continue helping him with this routine.Whether he’s romping around with his canine friends, soaking up the sunshine, or quietly resting nearby, he’s simply happy to be part of the family. His playful and affectionate personality shines through in everything he does including relaxing on a recliner with you (see pic)Despite his difficult start, Buster has so much love to give. so good natured and very cuddly. He’s the kind of dog who will quickly become your loyal companion through all of life’s adventures. Buster is waiting patiently for the right family to give him the forever home he so deserves—could that be you?Name: BusterBreed: Pittie MixSex: MaleAge: 1 year  (estimated)Weight: 35 lbs as of 9/29Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm:  Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: YesGood with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: UnknownAdoption Fee: $550.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)Location of dog currently:   MississippiIMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & New England.  Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher.
