My story

　　Adoption Donation 

　　$ 299   

　　Located:  RI 

　　Age: approx. 11 years old

　　Weight:   6 lbs

　　Meadows is a male Yorkie and a bundle of sweetness.  He likes nothing more than to nap in a soft bed and loves to be petted.   He was found as a stray in TN, and had to have all his teeth removed due to neglect, but that does not slow down his appetite at all now that he is not in any pain.  He is skin and bones right now, but is working on gaining weight now that he is in foster care.  Because he has no teeth, his tongue often hangs out the side a little; an adorable trait.  He is 11ish, and has some vision issues, but gets around just fine.  He likes other dogs, cats, and all people he has met so far.   He would love an older (like him) person he can count on to hang with.  He is fine in a crate.  He currently sleeps in a bed with his foster mom and 3 other dogs, and sleeps right through the night.  He is such a sweetie and just wants to be loved.

　　Our Adoption Process:

　　Go to our

　　website

　　and select the animal you are interested in.

　　ALL animals are in foster homes as we do NOT have a 

　　shelter where you can visit. Some animals are in foster care in New England, and some are located in other states. If the initials following the animals name are a state, then that is the state where the animal is located. If initials are not a state, then those are the initials of the foster home outside of New England and you will not be able to meet the animal ahead of time.

　　Complete our online application

　　You will be contacted by phone or email by the foster parent 

　　or a member of our adoption team and will have the opportunity to find out more about the animal, and ask any questions that you have to ensure the animal is a good fit for your household. If the animal is local, you can meet the animal, but you would not be able to take the dog home until you are approved to adopt.

　　If you feel comfortable that the animal is a good fit for your home, at this point, you would submit a sum of $200 as a partial payment of the adoption fee as we process your application. From our end, we will check references and schedule a home visit. If you are not approved to adopt, any payment sent to us would be promptly returned in full.

　　At this point, we will remove the animal from our adoption sites and hold the animal for you while we check your references. If you live in an apartment, or a condo, we will need to verify permission to own the animal from your landlord or condo board. Please let your vet’s office and references know we will be contacting them. If your  references are positive, we will schedule a home visit by a volunteer.

　　Please try to accommodate the home visit volunteer as most  have busy schedules. Delays in the visit will result in a delay in the adoption.

　　Once you are approved, you will receive an e-mail with your  adoption contract attached. This e-mail will have details about pick up, the balance of the adoption fee that is owed, etc.

　　Please email your signed & witnessed contract and pay your adoption fee in full, and for any animals located out of state, you will be contacted for details about transport to New England.

　　Once you have paid your adoption fee in full and sent back your contract, you can make arrangement to pick up your animal from the foster home or from transport depending on where the animal is located. Please bring a harness, collar, ID tag and leash when you are picking up the dog unless otherwise instructed by the foster parent.

　　Our extensive approval process is intended to ensure the best fit between our animals and adopters. Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA) reserves the right to deny any adoption application with or without disclosure of cause.

　　Your adoption fee helps to cover the cost of all age appropriate vetting and transportation. FOHARI.ORG makes no explicit or implicit guarantees in reference to the health, temperament and/or the breed of the animal. The animal is adopted ‘as is’, and the adopter assumes all responsibility for treatment of any and all existing conditions or any other conditions of physical or temperament changes that may occur. FOHARI.ORG will provide the animal with the basic vaccines, heart worm test and sterilization of dogs and cats before adoption if the age and current health of the animal permits. While FOHARI.ORG

　　makes every effort to place only healthy animals, FOHARI.ORG cannot guarantee the health of any animal, and shall not be held responsible for any medical expenses that may be incurred. Rescuer will provide information received from the veterinarian exam, observations on the temperament of the animal and a best guess of the breed.
