Name: Maxwell ID: 7263 Breed: Beagle Sex: Male Age: 7 months Weight: 13 lb. Housebroken: Being trained Good w/ Dogs: Unknown Good w/ Cats: Unknown Good w/ Kids: Yes (8+) Happy to the Max! This bouncy, euphoric pup loves to just run, play, sprint, sniff stuff, soak up attention ... and repeat. At only seven months old, Maxwell has tons of puppy energy left in him. We need Maxwell to go to an experienced dog owner because he becomes mouthy and can nip when he gets over-excited. He needs to be taught good manners and boundaries. Our own staff has been working with him and he's already improving. That structure and training needs to continue in his forever home. This spunky pup will need lots of room to run and play. Maxwell adores people and loves to cuddle. Pretty much, the world is his playmate. Being a Beagle, he barks and howls quite a bit. That plus the eneregy levels are built in to the breed. To adopt this dog, contact us at 401-421-1399 or email adopt@parl.org. Maxwell Being Fostered Maxwell is currently being fostered with Jeff Gellman at Solid K9 Training for two weeks of "boot camp" obedience training. You can see how Max and Jeff are doing here. He is not on site at PARL. If you would like to adopt him, please contact us first so we can arrange a meeting time.

Name: Boomer ID: 6992 Breed: Pit Bull mix Sex: Male Age: 2 years Weight: 64 lb. Housebroken: Yes Good w/ Dogs: Unknown Good w/ Cats: Unknown Good w/ Kids: Yes (12+) Boomer just wants to have fun! Boomer is a big, young, high-energy pit mix who will need an active household and plenty of exercise. Boomer loves to chase tennis balls, but only occasionally brings them back (hmmm). He's very play and people focused and just loves to romp. This is a very fun-oriented dog. Boomer definitely needs some obedience training along with exercise. He's very treat-focused and eager to please, so we thing that he'll respond nicely to consistent structure and training. To adopt this dog, contact us at 401-421-1399 or email adopt@parl.org.

Name: Nikko ID: 7503 Breed: Pit Bull Sex: Neutered male Age: 7 years Weight: 77 lb. Housebroken: Yes Good w/ Dogs: Yes Good w/ Cats: Unknown Good w/ Kids: Yes (12+) Noble Nikko! Nikko's owners had to give him up because they just didn't have the time or resources to care for him anymore. He was obviously a much-loved pet. You can tell from his wonderful, serene personality. Nikko's size and cropped ears make him look intimidating, but he's really a gentle giant. He's extremely affectionate (he loves to give sloppy face kisses) and loves everyone he meets. He's great on the leash and never jumps up. Nikko has low-to-moderate energy levels. He enjoys going for walks and can be very playful, but he after that he's all about napping in sunbeams. Nikko is also great with other dogs. Currently, Nikko is spends at least part of his days living in our executive director's office because the other barking dogs in the kennel area stresses him out. If you come to visit Nikko and he's not in his kennel, then ask to see him. Contact us at 401-421-1399 or email adopt@parl.org.

Ruby loves to cuddle with her human buddies and is extremely eager to please. She has a very open, warm personality. Ruby has energy, but not over-the-top energy.

This high-energy dog came to us extremely underweight (she still needs to put on more weight) and the owners thought he had worms. Ali tested negative for worms so we suspect that her original owners just couldn't feed him enough to keep up with his metabolism Ali is very active and will need a lot of exercise and play to stay happy and pooped. He has a wonderful temperament and is one of the happiest, most wiggly pups we have here at PARL. He also has gorgeous eyes. Ali's three favorite things are face kisses, long walks, and ear scratches. Ali is very people focused and loves treats. He gets along with both cats and dogs. PARL Perfect Pooch Student!
