Buddy is a sweet Lab-Shepherd pup that was thrown from a moving car and suffered severe burns on his paws. For weeks, he recovered in our Isolation Unit.

Meet Sue. She adopted Troop, a senior Cocker Spaniel from us. That's Troop with Sue.
“We adopted a senior dog, Troop, from Providence Animal Center, and I can truly say what an amazing experience it has been. Our vet said he was 11 when we got him over a year ago. I love every single day with him. Older adult dogsare so wonderful and truly understand they have been rescued. They are a lot of fun too and most always love a good snuggle. Troop even kayaks with us!” -Sue
Gio is a young adult Spaniel blend, view around 2-4 years old, viagra 60mg hoping for a forever home today in our Love Knows No Color adoption special. Gio is friendly, prescription calm and gentle. He has a playful side but is respectful and fun to play with. We feel he could live with kids of any age and possibly another dog that will let him be the boss. No cats, though. We hope for him a GREAT home that accepts him for who he is, just like Martin Luther King, Jr. wished for everyone.

This is Curious George. He came to us at Providence Animal Center on Halloween afternoon, price dropped off by a concerned citizen who saw him roaming the streets. He should weigh 60-70 lbs, he’s only 35 lbs. In other words, he’s half of his body weight. It’s amazing that George is alive, let alone standing as he was so severely dehydrated, a dog in his condition shouldn’t be able to walk. This is perhaps the worst act of deliberate deprivation to food and water we’ve ever seen. Dogs are extremely resourceful and could have access to trash, etc. in order to survive and it’s clear Curious George was denied that ability to fend for himself. Based on our experience with animal cruelty, Curious George was deliberately starved. Our Humane Investigator is currently investigating where Curious George was found to try to find any information about who might have done this to him. Our hope is that you might be able to cover Curious George’s story to help us find out more information about who did this to him and to prevent future acts of cruelty to animals; to know that we as a community do not stand for such cruelty.

Hey furry lovers. Sorry its been a while. But, we promise it'll be worth the wait. And we promise to write more often.
We had to hear this Cinderella-esk happy tail over and over again–because it seemed too good to be true, and because it's one of those stories that makes you feel a rush of happiness every time you hear it.
