Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (11/9/26) is BLUE the DOG! The RISPCA says, “Blue is a 9-year-old American Pit Bull searching for his retirement home. Blue is in his golden years, enjoying his rest and relaxation but still loves to go outside for walks and to play with his toys. Blue loves to play in the water and is a huge fan of bath time 🛁 Blue has successfully lived with other dogs and children in the past. Introductions should be slow and thoughtful.” Apply to adopt today, or email dogs@rispca.org with any questions! 🐶
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (11/2/26) is ZAZA the CAT! 
The RI Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says, “Zaza is a shy little girl who needs time to feel comfortable with new people. She came to us from a home with too many cats, where she was often picked on. She is definitely selective about her feline friends and would do best with someone who understands that she may not want to share her space with just any cat. Zaza needs someone willing to let her set the pace and build trust on her terms. Once she feels safe, you’ll see a whole different side of her. She’ll warm up, seek out attention, and even climb right into your lap! But if you try to rush things, she will be off looking for a hiding spot. Give her the time and patience she needs, and you may just become her favorite person!” If you have any questions about Zaza, email cats@rispca.org, or apply online rispca.org
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (10/26/26) is BEAR the DOG! 🐻 The RISPCA says “Bear is a 3-year-old Husky/Terrier mix with lots of love to give! Bear loves to go for walks and run around in the backyard with toys, or cuddle up on the couch and soak up all of your affection. He can be a little nervous meeting new friends, so patience will be important for him. He might require multiple meet and greets. Bear has met cats, dogs and children previously. Introductions should still be very slow and thoughtful.” Please adopt/share today!
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (10/12/26) is Angelina the Cat! The RISPCA says, “Angelina is just looking for a warm place to spend the rest of her golden years. She enjoys being pet for a short time but will let you know when she’s had enough. Unfortunately, Angelina does have early-stage kidney disease but is not presently showing any clinical signs. Due to her age and not having much background on her, we feel it’s best that Angelina be the only queen of your castle.” With questions regarding Angelina or any of their adoptable cats, please contact cats@rispca.org
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (10/5/26) is DIOR the Dog! The RI Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says, “Meet Dior! This 8-year-old cuddle bug has a whole lotta love to give! At 95.6lbs, there is a whole lotta Dior to love too! Dior’s favorite pastime is to lounge by your side and soak up all of your affection. Don’t be mistaken: she still loves a good stroll with her favorite person! Dior has a gentle soul and may be a bit shy at times. We do not have a history of Dior meeting other dogs, children, or cats so introductions should be slow and thoughtful.” PLEASE Adopt/Share today!
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (9/28/26) is SQUEAK! The RI Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says, “Squeak is a 6 1/2 year old guy with a little squeaky meow and a BIG love for interactive play! He especially loves feather wands—and no wand toy is safe when Squeak is on the hunt! He enjoys affection on his terms and will seek you out, rub against your legs, and happily hang out nearby. He just prefers petting in smaller doses, so pay attention to his body language and let him tell you when he’s had enough. Squeak would be a great fit for someone who works during the day and wants to come home to a fun play session with their cat. He’s affectionate without being needy and would love to be part of your daily routine.” Please adpt/share today!
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (9/21/26) is CANNOLI! The RI Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says, “This handsome gentleman has plenty of charm to share! At around 4 years old, this sweet boy is past the energetic baby stage and has settled into being a calm, appreciative companion ready to enjoy the good life in a loving home. Potential adopters should be aware that Cannoli does have a heart murmur, so he’ll need a family committed to providing regular veterinary care and monitoring to help him stay as healthy and comfortable as possible. Many guinea pigs with heart conditions can continue to enjoy a happy, fulfilling life with appropriate care, and Cannoli deserves a family who will give him that opportunity. Whether he’s munching on fresh veggies, relaxing in a cozy hide, or chatting with you at mealtime, Cannoli is ready to bring plenty of personality and sweetness to their new home. If you’re looking for a distinguished gentleman to spoil, he would love to meet you!” For questions about Cannoli or any of the other small animals available for adoption, e-mail Smallies@rispca.org
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIENDs of the WEEK are Lady & Foxy! The RISPCA says, “Lady and Foxy are a pair of lovable sisters who are completely inseparable! Foxy is the more outgoing sister, always at the front of the cage meowing for some pets, while Lady is a little more reserved. Despite being reserved, she is a total sweetheart who loves head pets and a good treat! These two would probably do best in a home with no other dogs and with kids 8+ due to Lady’s reserved nature. We are unsure of how they would do with other cats in the home.” If you have any questions about Lady & Foxy, or any of their other adoptable cats, please email cats@rispca.org
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (8/31/26) is BUBBY! The RISPCA says, “Meet Bubby!
If cuddles are your love language, Bubby is the cat for you! This sweet 3-year-old boy is incredibly affectionate and would happily spend his days snuggled up beside his favorite person. Bubby is all about love, attention, and cozy time together. As a result of Bubby’s loving nature he would prefer to be with someone who is frequently home, he gets a little stressed out being alone. Bubby also does not seem to like other animals and would like to be an only fur child! If you’re looking for a best friend who just wants to cuddle, come meet Bubby! If you have any questions about Bubby, or are interested in adopting him, please apply or email cats@rispca.org”
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (8/24/26) is Jayde! The RISPCA says, “Jayde is a beautiful little lady who is looking for her perfect home – somewhere quiet with a patient family willing to take their time with her. Jayde can be quite shy to start off with and is easily startled by loud noises, but once she warms up, she is a total lovebug! She absolutely loves getting head scratches, curling up in her favorite bed, and just having her people sit around with her. However, it is worth noting that Jayde has a few medical issues. She has a chronic Upper Respiratory Infection, hence her goopy eyes, but this is something that can be managed with monitoring and a clean environment. Jayde also has a grade 3/6 heart murmur, and while we ran tests to conclude she doesn’t have any active cardiac muscle damage, it is recommended that her adopter run further tests down the line. If you have any questions about this sweet girl, or are interested in adopting her, please apply or email cats@rispca.org”
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (8/17/26) is Hazel! The RISPCA says, “This playful pup is bursting with personality and joy! Hazel is full of energy and loves nothing more than playtime—whether it’s a game of fetch, a squeaky toy, or anything she can toss around, she’s always ready for fun. With her beautiful tan coat and soft, velvety fur, she’s just as wonderful to cuddle as she is to play with. Hazel is a smart cookie who already knows a variety of commands, including “sit,” “paw,” “spin,” “stay,” and “wait,” and she’s currently working on mastering “down.” She’s very food-motivated, which makes training both fun and rewarding—she’ll thrive with someone who enjoys continuing her training and engaging her mind. Hazel is a cuddly girl who loves affection, but she still has plenty of that fun, bouncy puppy energy. After a good play session, she’s happy to relax and settle down by your side.
Hazel would do best in a home with older, dog-savvy teens, as she can get a little enthusiastic during playtime and is still learning her manners. We’re not yet sure how Hazel feels about cats or other dogs, so any introductions to potential furry siblings should be done slowly and thoughtfully. Her perfect match would be an active family who loves spending time outdoors and is excited to include her in adventures, playtime, and continued training. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, trainable, and affectionate companion who will keep you smiling, Hazel could be your perfect match.

Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (8/10/26) is ELWAY! The RISPCA says, “Elway is a 4-year-old tan American Pitbull Terrier ready for her next adventure! Elway is curious about the world around her, sweet with the people she meets, and a very friendly girl. She may be a bit shy at first, but her adventurous spirit and loving heart shines through once she feels safe.
Elway has lived with another dog previously. She has lived with children ages 4+ but has no history of living with cats, so slow introductions would be best. Apply to adopt today, and/or email dogs@rispca.org with any questions! 🐶”
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (8/3/26) is MAYO the cat! The RISPCA says, “Mayo is a gorgeous, lovable, and quite honestly perfect addition to your sandwich (we mean home)! He takes a hot second to warm up but will ultimately melt into your hand for some good head pets. Mayo also enjoys some serious playtime and is a total predator! Mayo did test positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), meaning he has a weakened immune system. Despite this, he should live a long and healthy life as long as he has regular vet visits! He can also live with other cats, as FIV is only contagious through deep bite wounds. With any questions about Mayo, or any of our other adoptable cats, please email cats@rispca.org!
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (7/27/26) is APPLE the cat! The RISPCA says, “Apple is the sweetest, silliest, and quite honestly the bestest girl in the cat room! She has a huge personality and loves to meet new people. Her favorite thing in the entire world is food; she is a total foodie!
Apple came to us back in June after being abandoned in her previous home. While at the shelter, we noticed she was drinking an abnormal amount of water and urinating more than usual. Upon further examination by our vet, we found out that Apple has early Chronic Kidney Disease. At the moment, she does not require any extra care or medications, though this might change in the future. We recommend that she have her lab work re-checked in 4-6 months. Apple is looking for a “hospice” home where she can be the queen-bee of the house! She does not get along with other animals but would do well with calm kids!” If you’re interested in Apple, or want any additional information on her, please email cats@rispca.org!
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (7/20/26) is LACY NOVA. The RISPCA says, “This sweet, docile girl is a loyal companion who loves to stick by your side. Lacy Nova is a 3-year-old Lab mix with a chill personality. This smart lady is food-motivated and already knows “sit”, “lay down”, and “here”. She enjoys long walks, loves treats, and bonds closely with her person. Lacy Nova has lived with other dogs and has met young children. She’s chased cats in the past but didn’t harm them, so close supervision during cat interactions would be best. If you’re looking for a versatile friend who will join you on adventures and then chill at home on the couch, Lacy Nova might be your girl. Apply to adopt today, or email dogs@rispca.org with any questions”
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (7/13/26) is a repeat… a cat named Bean! The RISPCA says, “Bean is a 4-year-old girl who was surrendered because she was very fearful in the home. She spent most of her time hiding and would hiss when people tried to approach. She did not feel safe. With a young child in the home, this was not the right fit. Over the past 2 months, Bean has been given the time and space she needed, and she is making nice progress. She is now coming up to staff to solicit attention, enjoys playing with wand toys, and accepts pets. That said, Bean is still very much a “on her terms” kind of cat. She enjoys petting in small doses, and she will tell you with her body language when she has had enough. Bean is looking for a calm, quiet home with no young children, and someone who understands that building trust with her is going to take patience and a thoughtful approach. For the right person, Bean is going to be really special. If you have any questions, please email cats@rispca.org”
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (7/6/26) is BASIL the dog! The RI Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says, “This energetic 3-year-old is the best entertainment. Basil is as goofy as they come, always ready to play as long as she’s spending time with her people. She loves a good time, whether it’s going on an adventure, doing zoomies in the yard, or snuggling up at the end of the day. Basil has met dogs before and loves to play. Because of her high energy, she’d do best with older children. She hasn’t met cats, so slow introductions would be best. If you’re ready for an entertaining best friend, Basil might be your girl.” Apply to adopt today, or email dogs@rispca.org with any questions! 🐾
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (6/29/26) is VIOLET the dog!
The RISPCA says, “this 1-year-old sweetheart is, first and foremost, a champion snuggler. Her favorite place in the world is curled up in your lap, soaking in all the affection she can get. She’s incredibly loving, always ready to lean in close, and is happiest following you around like a shadow. While cuddles are her top priority, she still has lots of manners to learn when it’s time to play or head out on an adventure. Violet will benefit from continued training to help her with leash reactivity and to build good habits. She’ll thrive in a home with an experienced owner who’s able to commit the time for training that Violet needs.
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (6/22/26) is a dog named Max! The RISPCA says, “This loyal 5‑year‑old German Shepherd is the perfect blend of calm and playful—an easygoing guy who enjoys a laid‑back life but also loves showing off his happy trot when it’s time for a walk or when he gets excited. Max has lived peacefully with other dogs, is fully house‑trained and crate‑trained, and prefers a home that’s steady and predictable but still has room for light fun. He hasn’t met cats or kids yet, so a family willing to introduce new experiences slowly and respectfully would be ideal. Max’s journey includes a small medical piece, but it’s one that’s easily supported with consistent care. He has hypothyroidism, a common condition where the thyroid glands don’t produce enough of the thyroid hormone. Treatment is straightforward—just a daily medication—and many dogs with this condition live long, happy, normal lives. Hypothyroidism can make dogs lower‑energy or prone to weight gain. He’ll thrive in a home that appreciates a slower pace, can keep up with his medication schedule, and wants a gentle, happy companion by their side. Apply to adopt Max today, or email dogs@rispca.org with any questions! 🐶”
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (6/15/26) is a dog named Baloo! The RISPCA says, “Baloo is a 3-year-old Shepherd/Husky mix with a playful, affectionate personality and a love for adventure. He’s an easygoing, social dog who has successfully lived with both dogs and cats and loves making new dog friends. His previous caretaker described him as generally submissive and very friendly with people. Baloo is crate-trained but has been trustworthy, free-roaming the home without destructive behavior or accidents. He knows “sit,” “paw,” and “down,” enjoys food and toys, and loves outdoor activities like walks, car rides, and swimming. He especially enjoys tough chew toys and playing with other dogs. Because of his goofy excitement, Baloo would be best suited for a home with older children only (teenagers and up). He has no history of aggression or bites and has reportedly always done well for grooming and veterinary handling. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate companion who’s always ready for an adventure or a cuddle, Baloo may be your guy! Apply to adopt today, and/or email dogs@rispca.org with any questions!
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (6/8/26) is a cat named Bean! The RISPCA says, “Bean is a 4-year-old girl who was surrendered because she was very fearful in the home. She spent most of her time hiding and would hiss when people tried to approach. She did not feel safe. With a young child in the home, this was not the right fit.

Meet Heather & Matty’s latest FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (6/1/26) >> BLUE! The RI Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says, “Blue 💙 is a 1‑year‑old Husky who is an active, energetic young dog who still behaves very much like a puppy. He has no known history of meeting other dogs, but he previously lived with cats and did well in that environment. His age and breed mean he will benefit from consistent exercise, structure, and continued training.
He has a positive track record with meeting young children. Families considering adoption should be prepared for a high‑energy companion who is still learning and maturing. With appropriate guidance, this young husky has the potential to become a well‑rounded and loyal family dog. Apply to adopt today, or email dogs@rispca.org with any questions! 🐾“
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (5/18/26) is Aspen! The RI Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says, “This bright-eyed, 6-month-old sweetheart adores people and is as clever as she is loving. She’s already showing off her eager‑to‑learn personality and would thrive with someone excited to guide her through puppyhood with patience, structure, and plenty of affection. Aspen will need an active home that can keep her mind and body engaged. She’s happiest when she’s out exploring the world. She’s already lived with kids, done well with cats, and has met other dogs with great manners—she’s truly a social butterfly who fits right in wherever she goes. If you’re looking for a loyal adventure buddy who will grow into a devoted, energetic companion, Aspen is ready to trot right into your life and your heart. Apply to adopt today, or email dogs@rispca.org with any questions! 🐾
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (5/11/26) is ONYX the DOG! The RISPCA says, “Onyx is a stunning 2‑year‑old Cane Corso with a soft heart tucked behind a shy exterior. New people and new places can feel a little overwhelming for her, so she takes her time getting comfortable. But once she decides you’re safe, her whole demeanor shifts; she leans in gently for affection, relaxes at your side, and shows you just how deeply she bonds with her people. She’s the kind of dog who gives her trust slowly, but sincerely, and it’s worth every moment of patience. She has previously lived with other dogs and may enjoy the company of a respectful canine friend. She does not have a known history with cats or children, so any introduction should be slow and thoughtful. Onyx is looking for someone who understands that trust grows gradually and who will let her blossom at her own pace. If you’re ready to welcome a sensitive, loving dog into your home, Onyx may be the perfect match. Apply to adopt today, and/or email dogs@rispca.org with any questions! 🐶”
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (5/4/26) is RUE the DOG! The RISPCA says, “Meet Rue 🩷 This 5-year-old sweetheart is bursting with personality and always ready to make the most of every moment! Rue is full of life, with a playful, outgoing spirit and a love for being around people. She thrives on attention and companionship—whether she’s bouncing along on a walk, eagerly greeting new friends, or sticking close by your side to see what’s next. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she brings a bright, happy energy wherever she goes. Rue is always up for fun! From outdoor adventures to playtime and everything in between, she’s the kind of dog who’s excited to be part of it all. She’s social, affectionate, and loves to stay engaged, making her a perfect match for someone looking for an active, loving companion who’s always ready to go! Apply to adopt today, and/or email dogs@rispca.org with any questions! 🐾”
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (4/27/26) is YOYO the RABBIT! The RISPCA says, “Say hello to Yo-Yo of the Christmas Toy Litter! These baby bunnies came to us just before Christmas. They have had a rough start in their life due to some early medical challenges. But these little ones are some of the most resilient, tenacious, and friendly rabbits one can meet. They have just had their spay surgeries and are ready to find their forever homes! These rabbits are sweet, playful, affectionate, and perfect for any family. They will require a lot of time to roam, play, and run around. If you’re looking for a rabbit to open your heart and home to, they are amazing little ones! With questions about Yo-yo, or any of their other small animals available for adoption, e-mail Smallies@rispca.org” Please adopt/share today!
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (4/20/26) is Paws the Cat! The RISPCA says, “Paws is a 12-year-old girl who came to us a few months ago with 3 other senior cats after their owner passed away. The other cats were very social and were adopted quickly – but Paws needed time. She wasn’t sure about us at first and kept her distance, but with patience and consistency, she has really started to come around. Now, Paws will approach the people she knows and trusts to ask for attention. She enjoys petting, leaning into it…and then lets you know when she’s all set. She’s a cat who appreciates her space and will do best with someone who understands and respects that. Paws is looking for a calm, understanding home where she can continue to blossom at her own pace. She doesn’t need constant attention and may be a good match for someone who works during the day and wants a peaceful companion to come home to. What she does need is someone patient who will let her take the lead and offer her gentle encouragement. If you believe in giving shy seniors the time they deserve, Paws might be your girl.” Please adopt/share today!
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (4/13/26) is Mayonnaise. The RISPCA says, “this gal is the whole package: sweet, playful, social, and a total catnip fiend! She loves coming across new friends and making people laugh with her antics. Mayonnaise (or Mayo as we like to call her) did not do well with the previous cats or dogs in her home, but we think she would be great with kids! With any questions about Mayonnaise, or any of our other cats, please email cats@rispca.org!”
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIENDs of the WEEK (4/6/26) are Souzie Sassie & Blueberry Pineapple! The RI Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says, “This adorable duo with the silliest of names is looking for a home to call their own! Both of these lovebugs start out a little shy, but with some patience, they warm right up and are the friendliest pair! Due to their shy demeanor, we don’t think they would do well with other dogs or kids under 8, however, they do seem very interested in other cats! If you’re interested in this goofy pair, or have any questions, please email cats@rispca.org!”
Please adopt/share today!
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIENDs of the WEEK (3/30/26) are Georgia and America! The RI Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says, “From the very first moment we met them, it was clear, these girls aren’t just friends, they’re soulmates. While we often assess whether bonded pairs might be comfortable apart, there was no question here. Georgia and America move through life as one. They walk in sync, nap curled into each other, and always seem to keep a paw or shoulder touching. And truly? It’s one of the sweetest things you’ll ever see. Both girls are everything you’d hope for in a companion: affectionate, gentle, and “sweet as pie.” They’re house-trained, easy to walk, and already know several commands including sit, down, paw, and stay. They’re the kind of dogs who settle into your routine with ease, and then make it better just by being there. Watching Georgia and America together is something special; separating them is not an option. They bring each other comfort, confidence, and joy in a way that simply can’t be replaced. These ladies are a package deal. We know asking someone to open their heart and home to two dogs is a big ask. But in this case, it also means twice the love, twice the companionship, and a front-row seat to one of the most beautiful friendships we’ve seen. If you’ve ever thought about adding more than one dog to your family… Georgia and America might just be the perfect pair.” Please adopt/share today!
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (3/23/26) is TEXAS! The RISPCA says, “At almost 4 years old, this handsome, neutered guy is equal parts big teddy bear and loyal best friend. Texas is a total “mush ball” at heart—his favorite place in the world is right by your side. He lives for connection and just wants to soak up as much time with his people as possible. Texas is eager to please and loves having a job to do. He’s a quick learner who picks up new tricks and commands with ease, especially when treats and praise are involved. Whether it’s learning something new or just hanging out on the couch, he’s happiest when he’s with you. Shelter life has been tough on Texas. The noise and routine are stressful for him, and he really struggles with going back into his kennel after spending time with people. Because of this, he would thrive in a home where he can be part of the action and spend plenty of quality time with his family. Texas has previously lived with another dog and may do well with a canine companion after a proper introduction. Due to his strength and his lovable “small dog in a big body” personality, we think he’d do best in a home with kids 8 and up—he just doesn’t always realize how big he is and could accidentally knock over a smaller child in his excitement to love on them. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will stick by your side through thick and thin, Texas just might be your guy. He’s ready to trade in kennel stress for couch cuddles.” Please adopt/share today!
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (3/16) is WILL! The RISPCA says, “Will is a goofy, lovable guy whose favorite place in the world is right next to his people. He’s incredibly affectionate and thrives on connection, happily leaning in for pets and soaking up all the love you have to give. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will greet you like you’re the best part of his day, Will is ready for the job. This sweet boy would do wonderfully in a home with children and truly enjoys being part of the family. He prefers to be the only pet, however, and is looking for a home without other dogs or cats so he can soak up all the attention. Will has excellent potty habits, and we expect him to transition beautifully into a home routine. He’s eager to please, making him a joy to live with and a great partner for continued training and bonding. When he’s not cuddled up on the couch, Will loves a good game of fetch and will happily chase the ball with enthusiasm before trotting back for more. After playtime, he’s more than ready to curl up beside you and relax. If you’re searching for a devoted, affectionate, and delightfully goofy companion to share your couch and your heart, Will is ready to meet you.” Adopt/share today!
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIENDS of the WEEK (3/9) are Guinea Pigs named Ginny & Kiwi! The RISPCA says, “these two girls are the absolute best of friends, and like most great things, they too come as a pair. Kiwi is the youngster of the duo, and at 10 months old, she is as sweet as it comes and definitely knows how to lounge in a comfortable spot. Ginny is the senior of the duo. At 4 years old, she has the age and wisdom and isn’t afraid to correct Kiwi when she does something incorrectly. Like her best friend, she has a quiet, gentle soul. These two would do best in a home with older teens, gentle children, or guinea pig-experienced households. They can be shy with new people and will require some time to build trust. With questions about Kiwi and Ginny, or any of our other small animals available for adoption, e-mail smallies@rispca.org.”
Heather & Matty’s FURRY FRIEND of the WEEK (3/2) is MONTANA! The RISPCA says, “Nearly three years ago, Montana was rescued from a cruelty situation and began a long, complicated journey to freedom. For a year and a half, she waited patiently in our care while the court system decided her fate. When she was finally released, Montana did what she does best: she kept moving forward. Today, Montana is a smart, resilient, and joyful dog who is still discovering what it means to simply be loved. She learns quickly, loves to play, and lights up when she gets to run and chase toys. When playtime winds down, Montana is all heart. She adores snuggles and will happily climb into a lap for pats, hugs, and affection. She’s been enjoying frequent sleepovers at a foster home, learning how wonderful life on the couch can be—and she’s ready for one of her own. Montana would do best in a teen-and-up home as the only pet, where she can continue to blossom. She also comes with a Take My Lead grant, providing free training through Handsome Dan’s Rescue to help her settle into her forever home. Every day, Montana shows us how powerful second chances can be. Now all she needs is someone to choose her. 🐾 Apply to adopt today, and/or email dogs@rispca.org with any questions! 🐶”
