1. Winchester
Winchester is about 11 months old and 55 pounds. He is all legs. He currently lives with seven dogs and four cats. He is crate trained, housebroken, uses a doggy door, knows sit and waits for the okay to start eating his food (although we don’t make him wait too long). He has no food issues, and you can put your hand in his bowl while he is eating. He does well in car rides. He likes to jump up and greet people, and needs more work in that.

Meet Flora Your Built-In Best Friend
Flora is an 8-year-old, 16-pound terrier mix who forms deep bonds and becomes a loyal little companion. After being rescued from the euthanasia list, she has truly blossomed in foster care — and now she’s ready for a calm, loving home to call her own.
Read more about Flora Mae in TX
Flora would thrive in a quiet household, with a retiree or someone who works from home. She bonds deeply with her people and feels happiest when she’s close by — curled up next to you on the couch, resting at your feet while you work, or following you gently from room to room. She isn’t meant to be a “busy, on-the-go” dog — she’s meant to be someone’s steady companion. Best in a quiet home with no young children.
She is fully house trained with a consistent routine and patience. While she mostly loves lounging and cozy time, she still has a playful, youthful spark that shines through in the sweetest ways.
Flora can be vocal if separated from her people — she just likes reassurance that you’re coming back. Because of this, she would do best in a home where she isn’t left alone for long stretches. With stability and love, she truly relaxes and flourishes.
She would do best in a home with no other dogs as she likes to be the one getting all the attention and can get jealous of other dogs and act out.
If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, low-key companion who will adore you endlessly and make your home feel warmer just by being in it, Flora is ready to be your girl.

Adopting a dog in Tiverton
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
