83 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' upon us, this need has increased. 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!

Monty
Monty: Ready for you to take him home

Featured Adoptable Pet

 

Monty is a two-year-old Cattle Dog/Boxer mix.  He was brought to the Rhode Island SPCA in March because he was not getting along with the small animals in the home.  Monty is very sweet and he loves to play with his toys and snuggle.  He is a very high energy dog who will need plenty of exercise.  Monty has lived with children and other dogs - he will make a great addition to almost any home!

Paws to Consider: An Education Program for Current & Future Dog Owners: June 24th
    
An RISPCA program designed to help current and future dog owners improve life with their dog and reduce the rate of dogs surrendered to shelters due to treatable issues. Learn how to select the right dog for your family, discover simple tools to aid in day-to-day life with your dog, and find what dog related services are available in your community.
 
The Program is offered in two parts:
- Part 1 (1pm - 1:45pm) will address selecting the right dog.
- Part 2 (2pm - 3pm) will discuss and present tools and resources to help with your dog.
 
Please contact Laurelin at (401) 438-8150 or [email protected] for more information and to pre-register.  Please register by Friday, June 23rd.
