Oscar
Meet Oscar, a big guy with a heart of gold. Oscar’s sweet, friendly demeanor makes him a delightful companion. He loves nothing more than getting attention from his human friends, purring and cuddling up to people like it’s his job. Despite being FIV+, Oscar has taken it in stride and is thriving. If you’re looking for your new best friend, look no further than our friend right here! Come visit him in the shelter today!


Gunner
When Gunner came into our care he was so terrified of people that we could not touch him. It is clear to us that he had never previously lived in a home before, or ever been shown love. Since being in his foster home, he has slowly begun to come out of his shell. He is very good friends with the resident dogs in his foster home, and loves to play outside in the fenced yard. He is still somewhat fearful indoors and enjoys the security of his safe space. He enjoys being in the same room and within eyesight of his people and hang out at a distance, approaching for attention when he feels comfortable. Gunner needs a calm, quiet, forever home with humans who are willing to give him the time that he needs to acclimate to indoor dog life. If you ask us, he is TOTALLY worth it!

RHSPCA currently has a “Name Your Price” adoption special as part of BISSELL Pet Foundation’s Empty the Shelters promotion. Adopters can choose what they pay during this adoption special which runs July 8th-31st and applies to adult dogs, adult cats, kittens, and small critters. Available animals can be viewed at www.rhspca.org/adopt.

RHSPCA has also launched a Mutt-urity Matters campaign to highlight the benefits of adopting an adult dog in hopes of giving them better visibility. Dog intakes have increased by 25% this year, so they’re raising awareness and adoptions through this campaign. Additional details can be found at www.givebutter.com/mutturitymatters.
