WE ARE OPEN TODAY 3-7PM! We are hoping to find immediate foster or forever home for 2 amazing but very nervous pups. Consider changing a life by coming in to apply and meet them. Sage (female) and Thyme (male) are 10 months old and are a Lab mixed breed. They both require a home with other dogs (to work on their confidence), without children (they are startled by loud noise or sudden movement), and a fully fenced in yard (a scare could cause them to bolt and we worry about flight risks). We know it’s a lot to ask but it is what they need for a safe adoption and success in their forever homes. They are both up to date on vaccinations. They desperately need a break from the noise at the rescue and would love a quiet place to decompress. Message us with any questions. Please share! ❤️🐶

Hugo is doing his best to hang in there while he waits for a foster or forever home. He needs a hero and he really needs it fast! Please read the entire post to understand his situation: If you have been following us you know that Hugo is one of the longest residents we have EVER had and has waited over a YEAR for the right forever home. Hugo was born on 8/7/20 and is a large mixed breed. He needs a VERY particular adopter. He is looking for a single female home only. Unfortunately, he cannot under any circumstance be placed in a home with men (he has been ok with men in passing and did well at a Santa photoshoot). The reason we are requiring a single female home is because Hugo has had issues bonding with one human instead of both. We are trying to remove ANY issue possible to keep Hugo from being returned again. We think this is unfortunately a non-negotiable for him. He also requires a home without other animals or children. We realize that such a specific home is way harder to come by and that is why we are begging for help networking him so the right person hopefully sees his plea for help. With all that said, Hugo is really a good dog who just needs to find the right person for him. Our team is 90% female and everyone that knows or has worked with Hugo here adores him. Going on adventures is one of his favorite things—long walks, car rides, and exploring new & quiet places make him the happiest. He does well on a leash and is a very smart dog. He is up to date on all of his vaccinations and has been neutered. Please like, comment, and SHARE!

Titan is still waiting for his happy ending and we are open Wednesday 3-7pm. He is the most handsome Australian Shepherd with a killer smile and the best personality. He was born on 3/13/20 and he unfortunately spent his 5th birthday in a kennel instead of a warm bed. He likes children, gets along well with other dogs (pending a successful meet and greet), and is always ready to bright your day with a big slobbery kiss. He is up to date on vaccinations and has been neutered. Looking for a loyal, loving companion? Titan is waiting for you. Please share! 🐶💙🏠

We would encourage you to take a seat before looking at the photos Barnaby’s adopters sent us. We would hate for you to pass out with excitement like we did. Barnaby is settling in, has a new best friend, and is living his best life. We couldn’t be happier for this guy and his amazing new family! 💙🐶

Blondie is looking for a forever home in RI. Stop in meet her Wednesday 3-7pm. She was born on 5/1/2024 and is a Lab mixed breed. Her puppy energy always keeps things exciting, whether it’s zooming around the yard or chasing her favorite toy. After burning off some energy, she’s all about snuggling. She loves being the center of attention and with that gorgeous face, who could blame her? She is up to date on all vaccinations and has been spayed. PLEASE SHARE!

Happy Monday from Grayson. He’s the only face we want to see this early. Stop in to meet him Wednesday 3-7pm or Saturday 10am-2pm. He was born on 12/17/23 and is a Lab mixed breed. He is a happy pup that is ready for his forever home. He is very intelligent, eager to learn, walks well on a leash, and will thrive with a family that provides guidance and structure. He is up to date on vaccinations and has been neutered. If you're searching for a loyal companion, come & meet Grayson during adoption hours. You won’t regret it. Please like, comment, and share!

Parker and Porter are brothers that would ideally be adopted together. With that said, we are allowing them to be adopted individually if it gets them into forever homes faster. We just want what is best for them. They have been waiting MONTHS at the rescue. We have attributed this to the fact that they require a home without other animals or children. They are 7 years old and are a Hound mixed breed. They both do well on a leash and love to explore. They need a little time to warm up to new people but it’s nothing a few treats and quality time can’t fix. They are going to be SO worth the time & effort. They are up to date on vaccinations and have been neutered. PLEASE SHARE!

Who is ready for more amazing adoption news?! WE ARE SO HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT BARNABY JONES HAS FOUND HIS FOREVER HOME! He left today with his new family and we couldn’t be happier. Barnaby was another long term resident looking for a very particular home. We refused to give up on him and his people eventually found him. Thank you for sharing his posts and following along. The hard work and determination are always worth it! 🐶💙🏠

How is it possible that these adorable brothers are STILL waiting to be adopted? We are open today 10am-2pm and our "Garden Puppies" can't wait to wake up in a quiet house instead of a noisy kennel. Juniper, Foxglove, Snapdragon, and Trillium were born on 12/19/24 and are a Hound mixed breed. They are up to date on vaccinations and will be neutered when they are old enough (it's part of their adoption fee). PLEASE SHARE!

Can you imagine how AMAZING life would be if you were waking up to this face everyday? That could be a reality if you come in today 10am-2pm to meet Daphne. She is a VERY sweet dog that is on the lookout for a loving forever home where she can be spoiled the way she deserves. She was born on 1/21/21 and is a Lab mixed breed. We’re obsessed with her floppy ears and perfect smile. She is up to date on vaccinations. Consider coming in to meet her. You will love her as much as we do. PLEASE SHARE!

03/21/2025

We are open SATURDAY 10am-2pm and we would LOVE if you came in to meet a few of our adoptable puppies. Pebbles (female, brown coat, black muzzle), Twig (female, black coat), Lavender (female, brown/red coat, black muzzle), Ocean (female, brown coat), and Crystal (female, black coat) are 3 months old and are a mixed breed. We unfortunately don't know how big they will end up being but with faces this adorable who really cares, right? They are the sweetest and most adorable litter (we know we’re biased but just look at them!) so come in to meet them and apply before another lucky family scoops them up. They are all up to date on age appropriate vaccinations. PLEASE SHARE!

03/21/2025

We have been so focused on finding homes for our dogs and puppies because our kennels are full that our adoptable cats haven't been getting enough attention. Please consider coming in tomorrow 10am-2pm to meet Pumpkin and Autumn. This dynamic duo is STILL waiting for a forever home together. They are our longest cat residents and they desperately need someone to give them a chance. Sure, they are a little older and aren't adorable kittens anymore (now they are smart & sophisticated adults!) but they are going to make amazing additions. Pumpkin (male, orange coat) and Autumn (female, Torti coat) are both 4 years old and are Domestic Short Hair cats. They can be a little shy initially but they are extremely sweet once they warm up to you. They are both up to date on vaccinations and have been neutered/spayed. PLEASE SHARE!

03/20/2025

Meet Stella on Saturday 10am-2pm. Meet Stella. This gorgeous girl is looking for her happy ending in RI. She was born on 5/28/24 and is a Hound mix. Her tail is always wagging (once she knows you & feels safe) and she has a TON of love to give to her new family. She can be very shy around new people and her ideal home would have a fenced in backyard to keep her safe. She is really hoping she doesn’t have to wait much longer for her people to find her and she's definitely been discouraged that not many people have wanted to meet her. She is up to date on vaccinations and has been spayed. Consider coming in to meet her. We know you won’t regret it! PLEASE SHARE!

We are going to try and keep the good news coming while we finish ugly crying & pick ourselves up after a tough few days. We are thrilled to announce that Cosmo has been adopted! If you have been following along you know that this sweet boy was rushed into emergency life saving surgery last week. All of you helped us raise funds to cover his mounting vet bill and after a few days in the ER, Cosmo was released and put back up for adoption. His people found him shortly after. Thank you for helping us give him a fighting chance! 💙🐱🏠

03/19/2025

We are open today until 7pm and Rosemary can't wait to meet you. She was born on 5/15/24 and is a Lab mixed breed. She is looking for a family with other dogs and without children under 12 with a fully fenced in yard. We know it's a lot to ask but it's what she needs for a successful adoption and for her to be safe.
Rosemary is currently in a foster home where she has been working on her confidence, potty training, and learning commands. She needs a family willing to give her the time and patience she needs to go from shelter dog to family pet. She is VERY shy around new people but once you gain her trust, prepare yourself for LOTS of sloppy kisses. She loves playing with her toys but she is just as happy with an afternoon cuddle session. She is up to date on vaccinations. Please consider taking a chance on an amazing dog and come in during adoption hours to meet her. PLEASE SHARE!

We have been absolutely DREADING making this announcement. We understand how emotionally invested everyone is in Hugo's story and that situations like this can be very emotional, but we will not tolerate negativity or judgment on this post. Our focus is and always has been finding Hugo a home and we hope you will help us by liking, commenting, and sharing. He needs a hero and he really needs it soon. Hugo is one of the longest residents we have EVER had and has waited over a YEAR for the right forever home.

He is up to date on all of his vaccinations and has been neutered. Let's rally and find him a home ASAP. Thank you for sticking by Hugo and rallying around our team. We appreciate every single one of you! -Team Heart

Happy Thanksgiving from Team Heart and adoptable Hugo. PLEASE HELP US FIND HUGO A HOME BY SHARING! 💙🐶🎄 This poor guy cannot sit in a cage much longer. We don’t think he can handle the emotional and mental tress. We need someone to step up to save him ASAP. Could you be his hero? Hugo is a 3.5 year old, male, mixed breed. He is a happy and big boy that is looking for an adult ONLY family without other pets. His ideal home would preferably not have men and be made up of woman only. This ladies man likes going on long walks and loves exploring outside. He does well on a leash and enjoys any time outside of a kennel. He is up to date on all of his vaccinations and has been neutered.
