Firework season is here...and it's not limited to just July 4th! Many communities will be marking the occasion with fireworks starting this weekend, and throughout the whole week. Please be smart with your pets and be prepared that fireworks could go off at any time. Keeping your pets secured at all times can help prevent a tragedy!
Some safety tips:
- Keep pets secured indoors with windows closed, background noise on and distractions during peak firework hours, particularly if you know there will be a fireworks display near you.
- If your pets require sedatives, order them from your vet early. You can also look into non-prescription options for calming, like CBD.
- Try to walk your dogs before dusk.
- Make sure leashes and harnesses are securely fitted (try double leashing with a collar AND a harness for added safety).
- Make sure ID tags are up to date and microchips are registered with current contact info
- Even in a fenced yard, keep pets leashed when outside throughout the holiday week.
- Keep cats indoors
- Take a clear, recent photo of your pet in case they do get lost
- Remember that pet's fears change with age. Every year, we see at least one case of a pet that was "never scared of fireworks before" freaking out and running away.
- Do NOT bring your pets to fireworks displays. There is absolutely zero reason to take that risk.
- If you're a person who sets off your own fireworks, be courteous -- limit it to one night and notify your neighbors of the timeframe so they can be prepared.

Let's keep the holiday fun and safe for everyone!

“Will you play with me?” - Jake

The fourth of July is near and what better way to celebrate than with fireworks and sparklers. Although it may not be expected, dogs will chew on and eat fireworks and may become anxious due to the unexpected, loud sound. When ingested dogs can have GI upset, obstruction, and even damage to their red blood cells. It’s best to keep your furry friends inside while enjoying the pyrotechnics!

Little lovey Love 💕 has been patiently waiting in foster in RI since February! All her siblings have now been adopted and now it’s her turn to find her forever home.

Love is a pint sized 9 month old female lab mix that loves her doggy friends and wants to find herself a home with another dog pal or two. She loves playing with other dogs, playing with her toys including the puzzle kind, chewing on bones, and napping. Love can be a bit shy but has been working really hard on very slowly building up her confidence. She even said hi to multiple strangers at the event this past weekend on her own! She would do best in a household that is quiet and predictable without any young children. Once she is comfortable you see her playful, puppy side come out and she is just so cute. She is very easy to fall in “Love” with!

To learn more about Love and to apply to adopt, visit https://tinyurl.com/2y2xcje8. Love is available for adoption in all New England states, including Massachusetts.

Dug Sunshine somehow made it through another adoption event without getting adopted. Isn’t that nuts?! A very special family is out there who is going to be so thrilled to have him, we just need to find those people.

A little bit about Dug:
Almost 3 months old
Male Great Pyrenees mix
Will help clean up around the house, a true working dog 😉
Get along well with everyone he meets, a really friendly fella
And he’s still a baby so he has so much to learn!

Let’s find Dug his people! To learn more about him and to apply to adopt, visit https://tinyurl.com/3yc85aew.

Noel has been busy checking off her bucket list!

Some of you may have met Noel either at an adoption event or at our yard sale. She’s now in hospice foster after being diagnosed with her third form of cancer. Foster mom’s goal is to keep her as happy and comfortable as she can with the time she has left AND to check things off her doggy bucket list.

✅ Swimming BUT Noel preferred floating and basking in the sun my more
✅ Ice cream
✅ Shopping trip in Garden City

Jake is one toy loving boy!

Jake New Moon is the last of the New Moon litter to find his forever home and he’s such a good puppy! Jake is just shy of 3 months old and we think a hound mix. He gets along wonderfully with others, is both playful and cuddly, and knows how to make himself comfortable for a snooze even in silly places. He’s been bunking with SOSARL alum Mercy this week and has been enjoying her company. Jake is truly a gem of a puppy that’ll bring so much love and joy to his family.

Hot dog summer ☀️

The kids (the New Moon litter) have all left the nest and Mama Rosalie is ready for a vacation 🏖️. She kicked things off by testing out her new wardrobe courtesy of foster mom’s amazing internet finds. Rosalie missed out on Always Adopt last weekend BUT is very much available and very much deserving of her very own forever home. To learn more about her, visit https://tinyurl.com/hf7kcmur.

THANK YOU to Dave's Fresh Marketplace for their latest generous donation of food and treats! SOS Alum, Max, stopped by with his mom yesterday to drop everything off and was very happy to get lots of pets in exchange for their kindness.

Thank you, Dave’s!!

Dasha is such a playful girl! She even naps with her toys and is ready for action when she wakes up.

Dasha is about 5 months old, about 30 lbs and we think a Mountain Cur mix. She’s an athletic girl who LOVES to run around especially when there are canine friends around involved. Chase, tug-of-war, some wrestling - she’s up for it all. She LOVES to be where her humans are too and is friendly meeting new people. Dasha is very food/treat motivated and is eager to learn! We think she is going to be fun to train and will thrive with structure, consistency and a little patience to help her be the best girl she can be.

Yoda is as SWEET as they come!

All the hustle and bustle of Always Adopt was a bit overwhelming for her and she’s very content to be relaxing in her foster home. Foster mom reports Yoda is all around pleasant to be around. She’s getting along well with all the resident dogs (big and small) and humans and pays no attention to the cats. Yoda is great in the car, great in her crate and on leash. We think she’s just over a year old, unsure on breed mix, but she’s a great size weighing about 33 pounds currently. To learn more about Yoda and to apply to adopt, visit https://tinyurl.com/3sfp3vfd.
