Sweet Hercules was hit by a car at six weeks old. Heroic efforts and surgeries saved his life but he has permanent spinal damage rendering him incontinent. We realize this is a tall order, but Hercules is worth it and will bring joy to any person or family with a big enough heart to open their home to him.

Adoptable Camilo partied hard at our house in anticipation of the new year. He’s made his New Year’s resolution to be the best boy in a new home. Is that home yours?? He’s got some miles on him but we like to call that wisdom and experience. He is on a special kidney diet and will require medication. He is very low maintenance in the house, potty trained couch potato. He gets along with other dogs but would also be perfectly happy being your one and only. What better way to start 2023 than giving a home to a senior pup?! To apply to adopt: handsomedansrescue.org Questions? Email Jen at HDRJen@gmail.com

Shiba is a small girl who has had a rough go so far but it hasn’t dampened her personality. She was found stray and was in need of some pretty extensive medical care. She had pyometra and required emergency surgery, and her skin was not in great shape. Thanks to the folks at Pawt Animal Shelter, she has received the care she needed. She is an inquisitive baller who loves her treats! She’s very gentle, loving and loves to chat! While we get her medical underway, we haven’t formally dog tested her but she seems to enjoy the pups around her. She is patiently awaiting her forever home at Pawtucket Animal Shelter.

Picture it, Sicily, 1922... Meet our sweet and sassy senior, Ethel! Can we confirm she is the reincarnate of Sophia from Golden Girls? No. But can we confirm she isn't? Also no. Ethel has definitely proven that age ain't nothing but a number. She's full of energy, loves to play, and will keep you on your toes with her silly personality. When she isn't set to goofball mode, she loves to snuggle, and has never met a blanket she doesn't like. She enjoys playing tug, taking naps, and watching Ted Lasso. Ethel is hoping to find her very own Shady Pines with a forever lap to lay on while she works on perfecting her old man snore. Are you looking for your very own Golden Girl?

Snuffles is the most snuggly bunny I have ever met. He resides at Pawtucket shelter and we are working with them to figure out his condition by taking him to an exotics specialty vet. We will post more info as we have it. He sneezes a lot and has lots of boogies! We are not sure he knows he is any different from any other bunny, we think it just makes him more endearing. Ah-chooo! For info on Snuffles, please contact Amanda at HDRAmanda@gmail.com

  • Blue Lacy, American Staffordshire Terrier, Mixed
  • Spayed/Neutered
  • Housebroken
  • Vaccinations up to date
  • Prefers home without dogs

Mack is a sweet boy who loves to snuggle, and as winter approaches, Mack’s ability to double as a weighted blanket could not come at a better time. He enjoys cozying up to people, taking walks, and cozying up to people. This is not a typo… he’s a boy who knows what he likes ? Mack is a gentleman in the car, and on leash. He’s fond of people and seems relatively disinterested in the other dogs at the shelter. Fast moving objects and sudden loud noises seem to startle him a bit, so a quieter home may work best for Mack. Mack takes treats gently, and knows some basic commands. He’s learning more at weekly Pit Class where he plans to graduate Magna Snacks Laude. If you are interested in adopting Mack, please contact HDRRachael@gmail.com To apply to adopt Mack: https://www.handsomedansrescue.org/adoption-application/
