77 of our animals found homes last month - we wish the adopted pets and their new owners many happy years together! 

There are many great pets still waiting for a second chance.  View them here or stop by the RISPCA to see them in person!

Featured Wish List Item

 

With over 40 cats in our care, we sure go through a lot of canned, wet cat food each day! And with 'kitten season' coming up, this need will increase. Your donation of canned cat food will go a long way in providing for the cats care during their stay at the RISPCA! Donations can be dropped off at the RISPCA during our operating hours.
Check out our full 'wish list.' 
Thanks for your support!

Greetings!

 

On Sunday, May 6th we held our 10th Annual Horse Ride Fundraiser.  I would like to thank everyone who helped make the event such a success!  With over 100 horses in attendance, we were able to raise close to $9,000 for the animals in our care. I would like to extend a special thank you to Denise Anthony; Sandra MacDonald; Russ and Ellen Flock of KFC in North Kingstown, Cranston and Warwick; Rhode Island Horse Weighing; and all of the volunteers and participants who contributed to this great day.

 

Time is running out to purchase tickets for the RISPCA's annual raffle.  The winning tickets will be drawn on June 1, 2012.  Prizes include: $300 cash, two tickets to the Boston Red Sox on June 10th at Fenway Park, and a $75 gift certificate to Cassarino's on Federal Hill. 

 

 Thank you for your continued support.


Yours very truly,

Save the Date: RISPCA's Marvin Memorial Walk for Animals

 

The Rhode Island SPCA's annual dog walk fundraiser is just around the corner!  We hope you will join us for what promises to be another great day at Goddard Park on Saturday, August 25th! 

Volunteer OpportunityBaby Bunnies

 

The Rhode Island SPCA is looking for someone who is interested in fostering a nursing mother rabbit and her one day old babies.  Training, supplies, and help will be provided. Someone with rabbit or baby animal experience would be helpful.

 

We are looking for a foster home to care for them until the kits are at least 8 weeks of age.  This would entail housing and feeding the rabbits - bottle feeding would not be needed.  Please contact Laurelin at laurelin@rispca.com or (401) 438-8150 if you are interested.  Thank you!

Featured Adoptable Pet

Duke
Duke

 

 Duke is a boxer mix who has been with the RISPCA for 85 days.  He is between 12 and 18 months old.  Duke is a big, lovable goofball with a super silky coat.  One of our trainers has agreed to donate some of her time to help the new owners with the training Duke will need in his new home.  If you're willing to put in a little effort, we're sure Duke will show you what a great dog he is!
