Meet Robert (pronounced "Robehr" and no, we aren't kidding). This guy is all class and he can't wait to find a forever home. He was born on 7/31/2023 and is a Silky Terrier mixed breed. He weighs 15lbs and is the definition of the perfectly sized lap dog. Robert is up to date on all his vaccinations and ready to sweep you off your feet. We know he is going to be adopted quickly so make sure to stop in during adoption hours and apply to meet him before another lucky family scoops him up. 

The "Decadent Dessert" puppies are ready to sweeten your life. They were born on 1/29/25 and they are a mixed breed. They are up to date on vaccinations and ready to find their forever homes. Each one has their own personality, but they all share a common goal: finding a family to grow up with.

Meet Denali and his stunning blue eyes. He was born on 1/31/25 and he is an absolutely stunning Siberian Husky. He is a very smart boy and knows several commands already. He is up to date on vaccinations and has been neutered.

Meet Duke. He desperately needs a foster or forever home immediately. He was born on 4/21/19 and unfortunately spent most of his 6th birthday in a cage instead of celebrating. He thrives when he's around people and his ideal family would be home often. He suffers with a little separation anxiety but don’t let that fool you—he's a very happy guy with a lot of love to give. He is neutered and up to date on vaccinations. Consider giving this sweet face a chance by stopping by adoption hours to meet him. 

Meet Thyme. He was born on 5/15/24 and is a Lab mixed breed. We are heartbroken at the prospect of him spending his 1st birthday in a cage. We really need help finding him a family. Some dogs do a lot better than others in a shelter setting but this poor guy is really struggling. His siblings are both thriving in foster homes and he would really love a break from the noise. Please consider changing his life by coming in to apply to foster or adopt him.  Thyme is a very affectionate boy once he knows you and feels safe. His new family will need to have patience with him while he adjusts to life outside of the shelter. He requires a home with a fully fenced in yard so he can play and explore safely. He will be SO worth the time and effort and is going to make an amazing best friend. He would love a home with another dog (pending a successful meet and greet) and we think it would definitely help with his confidence  He is up to date on vaccinations.Thyme is a very affectionate boy once he knows you and feels safe.

Meet Parker & Porter. These bonded brothers are looking for a forever home together. They have been waiting SO LONG for the right people to give them a chance. We are begging you to read their bio, share their posts, and help us get them out of cages. They are looking for a family without others animals or children. Parker & Porter were born on 12/18/18 and are a very handsome Hound mixed breed. They both do well on a leash and really enjoy walking around the neighborhood with our volunteers. They are regulars at Olympia Fitness and look forward to pressing their noses up to the glass and saying hello. These boys have been through a lot. They need a little time to warm up initially but it’s nothing the right people can’t fix with a little love and patience. We promise that they are going to be worth the time & effort for the right adopter. They are up to date on vaccinations and have been neutered.

Cheddar is the kind of dog who leaves an impression. There is a natural charm about him that draws people in, and his gentle nature makes it VERY easy to fall in love. Just look at that smile. He was born on 3/4/20 and is a Rough Collie mixed breed. Beyond his striking good looks, Cheddar also has an amazing personality. He is a very sweet guy and he enjoys being around people.

Trillium, affectionately known as Trilly, is a 4 month old Hound puppy. We know he will be a wonderful addition to one lucky family. He is full of fun puppy energy and LOVES to play. After playtime, he will happily curl up in your lap for a cozy nap. While he’s still learning the ropes of potty training, with a bit of time and patience, he’ll master it quickly! He's a very smart boy. Give him a chance to win you over. You won't regret it. He is up to date on vaccinations and has been neutered.

Daphne is dreaming of a forever home. She has a quiet kind of beauty- the kind that speaks through soft, soulful eyes and has a calming presence. She was born on 1/21/21 and is a Lab mix who has spent far too long waiting for someone to see how truly special she is. Each day, she watches people come and go, hoping that maybe- just maybe- today will be different. The day someone will stop in just to meet her, kneel down, and realize she’s the one they’ve been missing. A cozy spot on the couch, daily walks, and the chance to simply be by your side is all that she has ever wanted. She is up to date on vaccinations and is ready to start the next chapter of her life. Come meet her, look into her eyes, and you will understand exactly why we’re rooting for her. 

Meet Blondie. She is turning 1 on 5/1/25 and we REALLY want to give her the birthday gift of a forever home. Blondie should be celebrating milestones surrounded by a loving family, but instead, she’s facing her first birthday from behind kennel doors. She is a gorgeous Lab mix that radiates happiness anytime she’s running in the yard or soaking up affection from people she trusts. An active household would be perfect for her fun puppy energy. She is also a big fan of long naps and a good cuddle. She gets along well with other dogs (pending a successful meet and greet) but has not been cat tested yet. She is up to date on vaccinations and has been spayed. Let's make this birthday the beginning of Blondie's happy ending.

Massimo, Black Jack, and Malone are SO ready for forever homes.  They were born on 10/31/24 and they are a Terrier mixed breed. We do not know the size or weight they will be as adults. They are up to date on age appropriate vaccinations and have been neutered.

Meet Ozzie. He was born on 2/19/23 and is an adorable Boston Terrier Pit mixed breed. He can't wait to find an active family to share his love and energy with. Whether it’s a game of fetch or running around in the yard, Ozzie’s playful spirit will keep you on your toes and a permanent smile on your face.  He is up to date on vaccinations and has been neutered. If you’re ready to bring home a sweet and happy dog, Ozzie is the guy for you. 

Unfortunately, Hugo's forever home did not work out and he is back at the rescue. He needs a hero and he really needs it soon. We are BEGGING for help networking him so he does not have another long shelter ahead of him. We aren't sure how much more this poor guy can take. He 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 is looking for a single female home only. He cannot under any circumstance be placed in a home with men. The reason we are requiring a female single home is because Hugo has had issues bonding with one human instead of both. We are trying to remove any issues possible to keep Hugo from being returned and we think this is unfortunately not a negotiable for him. He also requires a home without other animals or children. We realize that such a specific home is harder to come by and we really need help networking him endlessly so the right person sees him. With all that said, Hugo is really an amazing dog who just needs to find the right person for him. Going on adventures is one of his favorite things—long walks, car rides, adoption events, and exploring new places make him the happiest. He does well on a leash and is a very smart guy. He is up to date on all of his vaccinations and has been neutered. 

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.

Meet Mira. DOB: 4/17/23. Breed: Pit Bull mix. Requirements: A home with women only and without children under 12. Mira’s family has made the very difficult decision to re-home her, and while we understand that situations like this can be emotional, we will not tolerate negativity or judgment. They have spent the past year giving her time to adjust, but despite their best efforts, she continues to struggle with fear of men, particularly the father in the home. This has created a stressful environment for everyone involved, and finding her the right home is the most compassionate choice for her Mira.  Mira LOVES women and when she feels safe she is extremely affectionate. With patience and understanding, she will form a strong bond and become a deeply loyal companion. She loves to play but loves hanging on the couch just as much. She is spayed and up to date on vaccinations. If you are a fit and can provide her with the stability she needs, please consider giving her a chance.

Meet Kalie- a stunning tabby with a personality to match! DOB: 2/1/24. Breed: Domestic Short Hair. Kalie turns heads with her striking gray tabby coat and mesmerizing eyes, but there’s more to her than just good looks. Despite her naturally serious expression, she’s a friendly and affectionate cat who enjoys company and loves a good head scratch. She is up to date on vaccinations and is ready to settle into a home where she can be both admired and adored. If you’re looking for a cat with beauty, charm, and just a little bit of sass, Kalie is the one for you!

Sage can't wait to find a forever home! She will be 1 on May 15th and she is a very smart, female, Lab mixed breed. She was lucky enough to find an amazing foster home where she is getting the chance to decompress and has been working on her confidence. *Please note: Sage is only on site Saturday’s 10am-2pm.* Although she is very timid initially, her foster mom raves about what a silly, sweet, and affectionate dog she is. She has been learning basic commands, has already mastered crate training, and has not had a single accident. She loves other dogs and her ideal home would absolutely have fur siblings for her to play with. Sage will thrive in an active home where she can get her daily zoomies out and play fetch. A fully fenced in yard is highly recommended. She is up to date on vaccinations and is SO ready to begin the next chapter of her life. If you’re willing to invest a little time to gain her trust, she will reward you with endless love.

Miranda is STILL looking for a forever home! This absolutely amazing & magical hippo has not had a single application submitted and is running out of time she can stay in her temporary foster home. You can be meet Miranda by appointment and you can e-mail us at HeartofRIAdoption@gmail.com to set up a time. We will do everything possible to accommodate your schedule. We truly can’t say enough good things about this dog. She was born on 4/17/23 and is a Pit Bull mixed breed. She is EXTREMELY smart and has mastered potty training. She has so much to offer and SO MUCH love to give. Unfortunately, she is very nervous around new people and needs time to warm up to strangers. She definitely prefers women but we are actively working on exposing her to men. She is very slowly coming around to her foster dad (treats have been a big motivator) but her ideal home would be mostly/all women. She would also benefit from having a family without children because loud noises and sudden movement really scare her. We know these requirements may cause her to have a longer rescue stay so we REALLY need all hands on deck. She will need adopters that will understand she needs some time to settle in and come out of her shell. She is VERY worth the wait, though! When she feels safe around you her personality starts to shine. She LOVES to cuddle (she has to be touching you if it’s possible) and is extremely affectionate. She has finally started to enjoy playing with her toys and her foster parents are teaching her new things every day. She has not been cat tested yet (we can absolutely do that on site for interested adopters) but does like other dogs (pending successful meet and greet). She is up to date on vaccinations and has been spayed. PLEASE CONSIDER GIVING MIRANDA THE HAPPY ENDING SHE DESERVES!

Meet Scallywag. DOB: 7/28/21. Breed: Labradoodle. Requirements: A dog savvy family without children or other pets. Scallywag is a great guy that is looking for a particular family. He has been waiting far too long in a cage for the right family to come along. He is active boy that would make an excellent walking or running buddy. He is so ready to find a family that understands his needs and will give him the active, loving home he deserves. He is neutered and up to date on vaccinations.

Meet Rosemary. DOB: 5/15/24. Breed: Lab mix. Requirements: A family with other dogs without children under 12 with a fully fenced in yard. Rosemary was really struggling at the rescue and was lucky enough to find an AMAZING foster home where she can decompress and work on her confidence. She needs a family willing to give her the time and patience she needs to go from shelter dog to family pet. Her forever home is required to have a fully fenced in yard because she is scared easily by noise and is a flight risk. 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 has been working very hard on her leash skills, potty training, and learning commands. 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.
