Story
Athena is a wonderful dog. She’s a very curious and smart. She is almost a year old. She loves dog parks loves going for runs and doing anything active she learns fast. She seems to be interested in hunting as she is always smelling in the ground and chasing the rabbits out of my yard. If you’re looking for a dog that just sleeps all day, she is not the one. She loves to be active and she loves being outside. She also is a huge cuddler. is great around everyone and I have had no biting issues at all. She sleeps with me and when I’m not available, she sleeps in a crate. She sleeps through the night without a problem. Completely crate trained as well. Routine right now is to go down to bed at 8 PM. I get her up and take her out before I go to work at 5:30 and then she goes back in the crate until someone gets up in the house which usually is around 8 AM. On the weekends she sleeps with me and she’ll sleep until I get up the next day. She’s just a wonderful loving dog.

He likes walks & doggie friends! We believe he is part kelpie.  If you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an application on our website  www.fohari.org  and email my foster parent for more information:  friendsoha@yahoo.com Please verify the location and readiness of this dog with us.  Because we save lives from various locations through out the United States, some dogs may not be in New England yet, nor ready for immediate adoption.   Our adoption application can be found here: https://fohari.org/application/  Our Adoption Process:   Go to our website and select the animal you are interested in. ALL animals are in foster homes as we do NOT have a  shelter where you can visit. Some animals are in foster care in New England, and some are located in other states. If the initials following the animals name are a state, then that is the state where the animal is located. If initials are not a state, then those are the initials of the foster home outside of New England and you will not be able to meet the animal ahead of time. Complete our online application You will be contacted by phone or email by the foster parent  or a member of our adoption team and will have the opportunity to find out more about the animal, and ask any questions that you have to ensure the animal is a good fit for your household. If the animal is local, you can meet the animal, but you would not be able to take the dog home until you are approved to adopt.  From our end, we will check references and schedule a home visit.  If you live in an apartment, or a condo, we will need to verify permission to own the animal from your landlord or condo board. Please let your vet’s office and references know we will be contacting them. If your  references are positive, we will schedule a home visit by a volunteer. Please try to accommodate the home visit volunteer as most  have busy schedules. Delays in the visit will result in a delay in the adoption. Once you are approved, you will receive an e-mail with your  adoption contract attached. This e-mail will have details about pick up, the balance of the adoption fee that is owed, etc. Please email your signed & witnessed contract and pay your adoption fee in full, and for any animals located out of state, you will be contacted for details about transport to New England. Once you have paid your adoption fee in full and sent back your contract, you can make arrangement to pick up your animal from the foster home or from transport depending on where the animal is located. Please bring a harness, collar, ID tag and leash when you are picking up the dog unless otherwise instructed by the foster parent. Our extensive approval process is intended to ensure the best fit between our animals and adopters. Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA) reserves the right to deny any adoption application with or without disclosure of cause. Your adoption fee helps to cover the cost of all age appropriate vetting and transportation. FOHARI.ORG makes no explicit or implicit guarantees in reference to the health, temperament and/or the breed of the animal. The animal is adopted ‘as is’, and the adopter assumes all responsibility for treatment of any and all existing conditions or any other conditions of physical or temperament changes that may occur. FOHARI.ORG will provide the animal with the basic vaccines, heart worm test and sterilization of dogs and cats before adoption if the age and current health of the animal permits. While FOHARI.ORG makes every effort to place only healthy animals, FOHARI.ORG cannot guarantee the health of any animal, and shall not be held responsible for any medical expenses that may be incurred. Rescuer will provide information received from the veterinarian exam, observations on the temperament of the animal and a best guess of the breed. Friends of Homeless Animals Inc.

Story
Meet Gaden a rescue from the streets of Nepal. After being hit by a car, Gaden underwent surgery and made an incredible journey to the U.S., where he is now thriving. Gaden is ready for his forever home, bringing a sweet disposition and a playful attitude. He has adjusted from a street dog to a couch lover! He is trained with basic come commands on a lead, good with other dogs (except he needs to be fed alone due to resource guarding), just okay with the cat (I have one, but they keep a distance), great with kids, and an A+ cuddler. He should have a family with a yard because he is quite the escape artist and, due to his street life, loves to wander. My best guess is he is a breed of Australian Kelpie and almost two years old. He is happy to be outdoors and go for long walks in the woods, but equally happy to laze around the house and loves a good snuggle. He is not neutered (which is not a common practice in Nepal) but can be, of course!

These pups are in Providence, Rhode Island too!

Story
Codie - Codie is a 2 year old super sweet lab mix that has been in foster care his whole life, patiently waiting for his forever family. His sister, Roxxie, was with us as well, but she was adopted this past year to a wonderful family. Codie loves to go on walks and loves the dog park & being around other pups. He is very shy at first with humans and other pups, but it just takes him a little time to warm up. He just has to make sure he can trust you. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He loves snacks and cheese. That's the way to his heart. He is fully crate trained and potty trained. If there was ever a dog that was autistic, I believe Codie to be. He is so smart and has really come out of his shelter but it really does take time. He would love to live in his kennel if I would let him, but I won't. It's going to take a special family who will take the time with him. He would thrive with another pup to lead the way. He follows Snoop around and steals all the toys and loves to grab things in the house to take to his kennel. 😂 If you are missing something, he usually has it. He is so sweet and so funny.
