The Cars litter, delightful puppies who are all about fun and games! There are nine handsome and sweet boys: Rolls-Royce, Land Rover, Jeep Gladiator, Lamborghini Diablo, Porsche Carrera, Jensen Interceptor, Ferrari Testarossa, Lamborghini Huracán, and F150 Raptor. We are thinking these cute dudes are an Australian Shepherd and Chihuahua mix. Meet Jensen Interceptor—the Energizer Bunny of the litter! ⚡ Always ready for the next adventure, he’s an outgoing, social pup who loves everyone he meets. Equal parts playful and affectionate, Jensen is the perfect built-in best friend and playmate.

Story
Meet Jolina! Jolina is a beautiful 6-month-old Australian Shepherd mix with striking blue eyes, a playful personality, and so much love to give. This sweet girl is the perfect mix of fun and affection. She loves being around her people, enjoys playing with other dogs, and is always curious about what is going on around her. Whether she’s exploring the yard, following you from room to room, or settling in for some cuddles, Jolina is happiest when she’s part of the action. Jolina was born deaf, but she doesn’t let that slow her down. She is a smart, observant puppy who learns by watching the people and dogs around her. She is eager to connect, eager to learn, and eager to find a family of her own. One of Jolina’s biggest accomplishments is that she is already house-trained. For a young puppy, that’s a huge step, and she’s doing wonderfully in her foster home. Jolina absolutely loves other dogs and would do best in a home with a confident canine companion who can help show her the ropes. She takes comfort in having a dog friend around and enjoys being part of a pack. Like any young dog, Jolina will continue to need guidance, training, and patience as she grows. In return, she’ll reward her family with endless loyalty, companionship, and love. Jolina is looking for a family that will see past her special needs and recognize what her foster family already knows: she’s an incredible puppy with a bright future ahead of her. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate, house-trained puppy who loves other dogs and is ready for her forever home, Jolina may be the perfect match. 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.July 11, 2026, 8:19 am
