Rhody Pets of the Month

By Karen Kalunian

Looking to welcome a new furry friend into your home? Adopt, don’t shop! Shelters across the state have dogs and cats ready to find their forever homes. Here are three pets ready to meet you, or reach out to the shelters to learn about even more adoptees.

If you have been thinking of adopting or if you know of an animal in need, please contact Karen directly at animaltalk1920@gmail.com.

Jasmine

A three-year-old Welsh Terrier mixed breed weighing in at 25 pounds, Jasmine is a “bundle of energy” according to the folks at Friends of Homeless Animals RI. She’s known to chase after small animals, so if you have some knowledge of her breed, live an active lifestyle, and can offer her an adult-only home with no other pets, Jasmine might be the pup for you. She’ll return your love by showering you in puppy kisses and tail wags.

Summer

You can have Summer in your home all the time if you adopt this two-year-old medium-sized mixed-breed pup – who truly brings the sunshine! With a playful, lovable personality and soft, multi-colored coat and big brown eyes, Summer is smart and loves yummy treats. Visit during open adoption hours Wednesday 3-7pm, Thursday and Friday 12-2pm, or Saturday 10am-2pm to find out if Summer is your season.
