Shelter Animal of the Week

Posted

Not many dogs will jump into your lap the first time they meet you, but then again not many dogs are quite like Sophia either. Sophia loves attention and is more than willing to curl up on the couch and fall asleep next to anyone. This 2-3-year-old longhaired Chihuahua is already “pee-pee pad trained” and was surrendered to the shelter because her owner no longer had time for her. She has been at the shelter since Jan. 27. Sophia does not like other dogs but makes up for it with her wonderful personality. Sophia would be the right fit for almost any home.

The adoption fee for Sophia is $200. This fee must be paid with a check or money order and includes all initial vaccinations, heartworm testing and spaying/neutering. To ensure we adopt all of our residents into responsible homes, we require adopters to provide proof of home ownership or a notarized letter of permission from their landlord. If you are hoping to adopt an animal but think that Sophia may not be the right fit for your home, please look for the “Animal of the Week” article featured next week or pick up a copy of the PawPrint Press, our quarterly newsletter for the Cranston Animal Shelter featuring the animals available for adoption. We distribute it at local businesses and libraries in Cranston as well as at the shelter itself. You could also view the digital version of the PawPrint Press by visiting the Cranston Police Department’s Facebook page or web page at www.cranstonpoliceri.com and clicking on the Animal Shelter and PawPrint Press tab. Also, please do not hesitate to visit or call the Cranston Animal Shelter to see if Sophia is still available or if you have a question about any of our other animals.

Please know that before an animal can be taken from his/her kennel, you must fill out our adoption application. These applications are completely non-binding and allow us to learn more about our potential adopters as well as shielding our residents from people who use the shelter as a petting zoo. The staff at the Cranston Animal Shelter is very dedicated to matching all of our animals to the right homes.

The Cranston Animal Shelter is located at 920 Phenix Ave. and can be reached at 464-8700. The shelter is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
