Story
Rufus is currently in RI and looking for a 'furever' home! Meet Rufus, a mostly white pocket pittie mix with the most handsome hazel eyes. He's equal parts playful and cuddly and has a great disposition with people and other dogs. Rufus loves his humans and feels much more at ease when they are around - a home where you're home most of the time or have the ability to enroll him in doggie daycare would be best so he never worries about being alone ever again! You'll find him playing with his squeaky toys, napping, and observing the neighborhood from his favorite window when you're hanging at home with him. While not a requirement, we do think Rufus would benefit from having another playful dog companion, or a home where he can regularly socialize with other canine pals. He is still getting used to the leash and going for walks - a fenced yard where he can run around and feel secure would be best. Rufus loves to go on hikes and car rides for some Dels. He is such a lovebug and so ready to start his next chapter. Are YOU ready to find your new best friend? If you're looking for a velcro pup, look no further :) 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
Hello, my name is Camo. You have never met anyone like me. My life started terribly. I am an owner surrender fellow. The family who owned me kept me tied up to a tree. Most of the time, the people did not give me shade, fresh water, or food without bugs in my bowl. Then, one day, a rescue lady came and took me away. I came to live with her and other orphans. My life is lovely, and I am always so happy. I am ready to have a family of my own. I bounce around like I won the lottery. My ideal family will have time for me, will not keep me outside, train me (I am anxious to please you), and love me. It would be best if I had a family of my own, only a dog. My foster family is not sure how I would be with other dogs. Please request an application, and I will begin my journey home to you. Camo Male Neutered Breed American Staffordshire Terrier Age 3 Weight 87lbs Color Light Brindle and white Great with people. Unknown - children, dogs/ puppies, cats/ kittens Adoption Donation $395

Buffy

American Staffordshire Terrier Catahoula Leopard Dog

Female, Adult
Warwick, RI
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Buffy was originally a southern Belle from Houston, TX. She was rescued by Southpaws Express in August 2017 at 7 months old and has been in RI ever since. You may recognize her as the mascot and name sake of a local dog grooming shop. Unfortunately, due to financial hardships I am making the difficult decision to not only close my business but to place my dogs for adoption so they may have a home while I secure another job and stable living arrangement. Buffy can best be described as sassy and gassy. While she does live amicably with a dachshund and standard poodle, she has her moments where she can be overexcited and redirect on other dogs near her; she will require an experienced owner that understands she is not a daycare dog and will not do well with most dogs. She is crate trained and housebroken but needs to be crated in a quiet space. Buffy loves to snuggle and will snore throughout the night. She makes a great hiking partner and will be best friends with any human she meets.

Story
Meet Rexie - Take My Lead Dog Rexie is a young and energetic pup. He is about ten months old and is always ready for an adventure. He would love to be a hiking buddy, to be a running buddy, and would likely excel at agility. Rexie has received a Take My Lead grant to work on some of his over excitement that he is experiencing in the shelter setting which is not ideal for a young energetic dog. We are confident that once out of a shelter, and with some FREE training through his Take My Lead grant from Handsome Dan's Rescue, he will learn to be the best pup he can be.
