In the shelter’s words

To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see HERE If not adopted beforehand, this dog will attend the Super Dog Adoption Event on Saturday, November 7th at Clark Farms in Matunuck, RI. Learn more about this event and sign up for 10am Early Entry HERE Age: 9 months (as of 10/15/26) Weight: 42 lbs (as of 10/15/26) Location: RI This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Meet your new best friend!! Looking for the perfect mix of playful energy and cuddly sweetness? This adorable adolescent hound might just be your girl! She would love a home with another playful dog who can keep up with her fun-loving side. She loves a good romp in the yard. Gertrude would prefer walks in the woods over a busy neighborhood. She can be a little shy when meeting new people or exploring new places, but give her a little time and she’ll soon show you her sweet, affectionate personality. She is house trained and has been left alone for up to 2 hours in the crate. Once she feels comfortable, she loves to play just as much as she loves to snuggle! She’s the kind of girl who will happily keep you smiling with her playful antics and then curl up close for some quality cuddle time. Because of her interest in cats, we don’t recommend a home with feline friends. Instead, she’s hoping to find a cat-free home where she can build her confidence, enjoy a canine companion, and shower her people with love. Could this sweet hound be the missing piece of your family? Come meet her and let her win your heart! ​Medical Note: This puppy was born to a mother dog who was positive for heartworm disease and had circulating microfilaria. Microfilariae can be transmitted from mothers to unborn puppies through the placenta; these worms, however, will not develop in the puppy into adult heartworms because the heartworms must pass through a mosquito to fully develop. Microfilariae may live up to two years within the host dog in whom they were born, but they should be eliminated when the puppy received its first dose of heartworm preventative. This puppy has been given heartworm preventative regularly while in SOS care, but to ensure that any remaining microfilaria are fully eliminated and the risk to other dogs (via mosquitos) is minimized, SOS recommends that the puppy be kept on Advantage Multi or Parasedge (imidacloprid + moxidectin) for monthly heartworm preventative for at least the first three months after adoption. This product provides protection from heartworm disease as well as fleas, but another tick preventative (oral) should be used. An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this. To apply for this dog, fill out an adoption application on our website: Adoption Application - SOS Animal Rescue League in Rhode Island (sosarl.org) **Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
