Today, the Potter League for Animals announced the availability of eleven dogs rescued from a recent hoarding case on Senate Street in Pawtucket.

Upon their arrival at the Potter League’s Animal Care & Adoption Center, the dogs underwent thorough medical evaluations and received immediate attention to address their needs. Due to severe matting, the dogs required shaving and treatment for various health concerns. The Potter League’s dedicated veterinary and animal care teams have been working diligently to ensure the wellbeing of these animals.

We are excited to share that the dogs will be viewable for adoption starting Monday at 10 am. However, before they can go to their new homes, they are scheduled for spay and neuter surgeries later this week.

Interested individuals are encouraged to submit an adopter profile (application) through our website to streamline the adoption process. While this step does not guarantee adoption, it helps facilitate the process and ensures that each adoption is a good match for both dogs and their new families.

Adoptions through the Potter League include spay/neuter procedures, microchipping, and age-appropriate vaccines, all aimed at providing the dogs a healthy start in their new homes. Our adoption emphasizes the importance of finding the right match between pet and guardian.

“We are grateful for the community’s support as we have worked to rehabilitate and find loving homes for these resilient dogs,” said the Potter League for Animals CEO Brad Shear. “Their journey to recovery serves as a testament to the compassion and dedication of our staff, volunteers, and community.”
