🐝💛 SOMEWHERE IN RHODE ISLAND, THERE'S A FAMILY MISSING A VERY IMPORTANT INGREDIENT. AND SHE HAS FOUR PAWS, A LITTLE PUPPY BELLY, AND A NAME THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE SWEETEST CAFÉ IN BRISTOL.

SHE'S A LITTLE BIT OF HONEY, A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE, AND JUST WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO CALL HER THEIRS. 🥹❤️

Meet one of our absolutely precious little pittie mix puppies, named after Bristol's beloved Beehive Cafe.

She's approximately 3½ months old, ridiculously adorable, and apparently under the impression that being named after a café means she's entitled to unlimited pastries, afternoon naps, and someone carrying her around like a tiny princess.

MA'AM. YOU ARE A PUPPY. NOT A BLUEBERRY MUFFIN. 🫐😭

She disagrees.

Apparently, she would also like a heated blanket, a little kiss on her forehead, and someone to tell her she's beautiful approximately 47 times a day.

THOSE REQUESTS SEEM REASONABLE.

Beehive came from Texas with her siblings, where their beginnings were anything but easy. Their parents had been living chained outside, without the comforts and care every dog deserves.

But those difficult beginnings don't have to define her future.

Because this little girl?

She's got an entire lifetime of firsts ahead of her.

Her first cozy bed.

Her first family movie night.

Her first snowfall in New England.

Her first Christmas stocking.

Her first realization that the couch is, in fact, also her couch.

AND THE MOMENT SHE DISCOVERS THAT EVERY BLANKET IN THE HOUSE BELONGS TO HER. 🥹❤️

We hope her days are filled with silly toys, warm snuggles, little adventures, and people who love her more than she could ever imagine.

No more worrying about what comes next.

Just the wonderful, ordinary magic of being someone's dog.

🐝💛 BEEHIVE CAFE IS LOOKING FOR A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME AT HEART OF RI!

She's a young pittie mix puppy with lots of growing and learning ahead of her, and we'd love to find her a family ready for all the joy, work, and wonderful chaos that comes with raising a puppy.

They say bees spend their lives searching for flowers.

But our little Beehive?

SHE'S JUST SEARCHING FOR HER PERSON. 🐝🌼

And somewhere out there is a family who doesn't even know that their future best friend has four little paws, a beautiful face, and a name that sounds like the cutest place to get brunch in Bristol.

LET'S HELP THIS LITTLE HONEY FIND HER HOME. 💛🐾

10/23/2026

🍼🚨 BREAKING NEWS FROM THE MATERNITY WARD: THE BABIES HAVE OPENED THEIR EYES, DISCOVERED THEIR LEGS, AND ARE NOW DEMANDING 24-HOUR ROOM SERVICE.

THREE WEEKS OLD, RHODE ISLAND. THREE. WEEKS. 😭🐾

LOOK AT THEM.

The tiny tails.

The little potato bodies.

The wobbly legs that appear to have been installed by someone who DID NOT READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.

THEY'RE WALKING. SORT OF.

One goes left.

Another falls over.

Three are headed in completely different directions.

And somehow EVERYONE ends up at the same destination.

THE MILK BAR. 🍼😂

Their beautiful mama is doing an incredible job, but apparently her children have mistaken her for an all-inclusive resort.

Breakfast? MOM.

Lunch? MOM.

Afternoon snack? MOM.

3:17 AM?

EXCUSE ME, MA'AM. IS THE BUFFET STILL OPEN?

😭😭😭

They've only been on this planet for three weeks, and already they're toddling around, investigating their little world, and discovering that life is considerably more exciting when you can SEE where you're going.

Well, approximately.

THE COORDINATION DEPARTMENT IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

And watching Mama patiently care for this tiny, chaotic collection of puppies is just about the sweetest thing in the world. ❤️

These precious babies still have plenty of growing to do before they're ready for families of their own, but we couldn't resist sharing this little milestone.

THREE WEEKS AGO, THEY WERE TINY NEWBORNS.

TODAY, THEY'RE A GANG OF WOBBLY POTATOES WITH EYES AND VERY STRONG OPINIONS ABOUT THE MILK SUPPLY. 🥹🐶

Turn your sound on and enjoy approximately 30 seconds of pure happiness.

10/22/2026

🐦🚨 ATTENTION, RHODE ISLAND. NEWPORT'S MOST MYSTERIOUS ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX IS NOW OPERATED ENTIRELY BY SEAGULLS. A 60-POUND DOG WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT.

YOU KNOW THE BUILDING.

You're crossing the magnificent Newport Bridge, looking out over Narragansett Bay, thinking:

"SURELY A BRIDGE THIS BEAUTIFUL LEADS TO SOMETHING MAGICAL. PERHAPS THE END OF THE RAINBOW? A POT OF GOLD? A FABULOUS ENTERTAINMENT DESTINATION?!" 🌈

And there it is in the distance.

This enormous, impressive building.

OH MY GOD. WE'VE FOUND IT. THE POT OF GOLD.

You get closer.

Nothing.

A desolate parking lot. An occasional excavator.

AND APPROXIMATELY 47,000 SEAGULLS.

THERE IS NO GOLD. THERE IS NO RAINBOW. THERE IS GARY.

Gary is a seagull.

WELCOME TO NEWPORT. THE ENTERTAINMENT IS THE BIRDS. 😭🐦

The old Newport Jai Alai. Then Newport Grand.

Now apparently the headquarters of the North American Seagull Association.

They have a mayor.

A zoning board.

An aggressive parking enforcement division.

And a seagull named Gary who has declared himself KING OF THE NORTH END.

GARY. YOU ARE A BIRD. YOU CANNOT COLLECT PROPERTY TAXES.

Gary disagrees.

His attorney is also a seagull.

THIS EXPLAINS A LOT ABOUT THE REDEVELOPMENT PROCESS. 😭

Naturally, we named a rescue dog after this Rhode Island landmark.

THIS WAS A QUESTIONABLE DECISION.

🐾 MEET JAI ALAI.

Approximately 1½ - 2 years old. Around 55 - 60 pounds. Handsome, gentle, and a little shy.

And unlike the building, HE ACTUALLY HAS SOMETHING WONDERFUL GOING ON INSIDE. ❤️

Jai Alai knows what it's like to be overlooked.

His previous owner kept him outside in a small kennel.

And when he grew too big?

He was no longer wanted.

IMAGINE THAT. A DOG GROWING. WHO COULD HAVE POSSIBLY ANTICIPATED THIS?!

SIR. HE IS A DOG. NOT A STUDIO APARTMENT.

Thankfully, he was given another chance.

He's a sweet, somewhat timid boy who enjoys other dogs and is learning that people can be kind.

He's done well with male and female dogs and would benefit from a patient family willing to help him continue building confidence and leash manners.

Meanwhile, he's been following developments at the former Newport Grand.

He requested a meeting with the current occupants.

The seagulls sent a representative.

It stole his sandwich.

NEGOTIATIONS HAVE BROKEN DOWN. 🐦😭

But here's the difference between Jai Alai and that enormous abandoned building.

THIS BOY HAS BEEN WAITING LONG ENOUGH FOR HIS NEXT CHAPTER.

He deserves room to stretch out, people who love him, and a place where he'll always belong.

❤️ JAI ALAI HAS ARRIVED AT HEART OF RI AND IS LOOKING FOR A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!

🏡 COULD YOU OFFER HIM A FOSTER HOME?

A few weeks in a loving home would help this sweet boy decompress, build confidence, and discover the comfort of family life.

He's requested a couch, a patient human, and absolutely NO involvement from the Newport Seagull Development Authority.

WE SUPPORT HIS POSITION.

🐾 Apply to foster Jai Alai:
https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/HORI/Dog

💕 READY TO GIVE HIM A FOREVER HOME?

He's handsome, sweet, dog-social, and unlike the former Newport Grand property, ACTUALLY AVAILABLE FOR OCCUPANCY.

No zoning hearing.

No redevelopment proposal.

Just a wonderful dog waiting for his people.

❤️ Apply to adopt Jai Alai:
https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HORI/Dog

🐦 LET'S FIND THIS BOY A HOME BEFORE THE SEAGULLS FORM ANOTHER COMMITTEE.

He's been overlooked.

He's been confined.

And he deserves so much better than waiting for someone to decide he's worth investing in.

THE BUILDING CAN WAIT. THE DOG SHOULDN'T HAVE TO. ❤️

P.S. TO EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER CROSSED THE NEWPORT BRIDGE AND WONDERED WHAT FABULOUS ENTERTAINMENT AWAITS INSIDE THAT BUILDING: IT'S GARY. GARY IS THE ENTERTAINMENT. HE'S A SEAGULL. HE HAS NO ACT. HE JUST SCREAMS AND OCCASIONALLY STANDS NEAR AN EXCAVATOR. 🐦😭❤️

10/22/2026

🍒🚨 EXCUSE ME. IS THIS EVEN A REAL KITTEN?! SOMEONE PLEASE CONTACT THE DEPARTMENT OF UNREASONABLE CUTENESS.

❤️ WE'RE OPEN SATURDAY FROM 10–2! Come meet our gorgeous little Cherry at Heart of RI!

Rhode Island. WE HAVE A SITUATION.

LOOK AT THIS CHILD.

THE BLUE EYES.

THE LITTLE PINK NOSE.

THE GIANT EARS.

AND THAT TAIL THAT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE GLUED A FEATHER DUSTER TO A MARSHMALLOW.

MA'AM. WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU?! 😭

🍒🐾 MEET CHERRY.

Approximately 3½ months old. Female. A spectacular little cloud of creamy white fluff with the face of an actual Disney character.

We have reviewed her photograph extensively.

WE BELIEVE THERE HAS BEEN A MANUFACTURING ERROR.

Her eyes are too blue.

Her face is too perfect.

Her ears are picking up radio transmissions from Connecticut.

And somehow, despite being approximately the size of a decorative throw pillow, she has the confidence of a woman who owns three vacation properties.

CHERRY. YOU ARE A KITTEN. YOU DO NOT HAVE A SUMMER HOUSE IN WATCH HILL.

She disagrees.

Apparently, she's an heiress.

Her siblings are Honey, Maple, and Colby Jack.

A lovely assortment of names that sounds like someone accidentally combined a breakfast menu with the dairy aisle.

WE HAVE FRUIT. WE HAVE SYRUP. WE HAVE HONEY.

AND THEN SOMEONE BROUGHT CHEESE.

COLBY JACK. READ THE ROOM. 🧀😭

Cherry has informed us that she is the most sophisticated member of the family.

She's requested a heated window seat, imported blankets, and a personal photographer.

We explained that she's currently living at an animal shelter.

She looked at us.

We looked at her.

SHE HAS REQUESTED TO SPEAK TO CORPORATE.

CHERRY. THERE IS NO CORPORATE.

"Then who approved these accommodations?"

MA'AM. THAT IS A CAT BED. IT WAS DONATED. WE ARE A NONPROFIT JUST TRYING TO KEEP THE DOORS OPEN. 😭🍒

But beneath all this completely unnecessary luxury lifestyle drama is one absolutely beautiful little girl waiting for her forever family.

A family to love her, play with her, spoil her, and appreciate the fact that she appears to have been assembled entirely from whipped cream and eyelashes.

🍒❤️ CHERRY IS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AT HEART OF RI!

We're open Saturday from 10 AM to 2 PM, and we'd love for you to come meet her!

Please remember that we don't do same-day adoptions, so submitting an application ahead of time is the best way to get started. We expect a lot of interest in Cherry and her siblings, if you already have a recent application with us you do not need to resubmit again. Please come in during adoption hours or email us at [email protected] for questions. Stopping by in person is always preferred.

💕 Apply to adopt Cherry:
https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HORI/Cat

She's tiny.

She's fluffy.

She has no income.

And she's already demanding a personal assistant and a beachfront estate in Newport.

CHERRY. YOU ARE NOT A SOCIALITE. YOU ARE A DEPENDENT.

P.S. TO THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY: We believe one of your animated characters has escaped and is currently residing at Heart of RI. She has enormous blue eyes, approximately 400 individual whiskers, and a suspiciously perfect little face. PLEASE CONFIRM WHETHER SHE BELONGS TO YOU. WE ARE NOT CONVINCED THIS IS A REAL ANIMAL. 🍒😭❤️

10/22/2026

🚐💙 THE BLUE-EYED BABIES HAVE LANDED. AND THEY BROUGHT AN ENTIRE SUPPORTING CAST OF ABSOLUTE CUTENESS. 😭🐾

THE Project Freedom Ride VAN HAS ARRIVED AT HEART OF RI WITH SOME VERY PRECIOUS CARGO! ❤️

We have tiny, fluffy, blue-eyed kittens who look like they were personally assembled by Disney.

WE ARE NOT CONVINCED THESE ARE ACTUAL CATS. 😻

But the grown-ups got first-class treatment today!

First off the van were some incredibly sweet ADULT DOGS, ready to begin a whole new chapter.

Next came our ridiculously adorable PITTIE PUPPY LITTER, complete with puppy bellies, floppy ears, and absolutely no intention of contributing financially to this organization. 🐶😭

And bringing up the rear?

THE KITTENS.

Tiny marshmallows with blue eyes and absolutely no idea how many people are about to fall in love with them.

WELCOME TO RHODE ISLAND, EVERYBODY! ❤️

A huge thank-you to Project Freedom Ride, North Augusta Public Safety, Saving Grace Rescue LBK, and Burke County Animal Shelter for all the love, care, coordination, and hard work that makes these journeys possible. It truly takes a village, and we're so grateful to be part of yours. ❤️

🚨 AND PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS RHODE ISLAND, WATCH THE VIDEO UNTIL THEY GET TO JAI ALAI.

Our wonderful Southern friends attempted to pronounce his name.

ATTEMPTED.

Listen. We can forgive them.

They've probably never driven past that enormous building in Newport wondering whether it contains a casino, an amusement park, or 47,000 seagulls.

BUT RHODE ISLANDERS?! COME ON. THIS IS OUR MOMENT. STAFF ARE GETTING A VOCABULARY LESSON IMMEDIATELY. 😂😭

WELCOME HOME, LITTLE ONES. YOUR NEXT CHAPTER STARTS HERE. ❤️🐾

P.S. Jai Alai has requested that his name be pronounced correctly in all future legal documents. His attorney is a seagull named Gary. WE DO NOT EXPECT THIS TO GO WELL. Stay tuned for his featured post this evening! 🐦😂

10/22/2026

🍯🐝 SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY THIS THREE-MONTH-OLD KITTEN IS LOUNGING LIKE A DIVORCED MILLIONAIRE IN PALM BEACH.

What's going on in Rhode Island. WE NEED TO DISCUSS HONEY.

LOOK AT HER.

THE BLUE EYES.

THE PINK NOSE.

THE TINY TOE BEANS.

MA'AM. WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE WAITING FOR THE CABANA BOY?! 😭

🍯🐾 MEET HONEY.

Approximately 3½ months old. Female. Creamy white fluff. Absolutely ridiculous levels of adorable.

Her siblings are Cherry, Maple, and Colby Jack.

Three names that sound like they belong on an expensive brunch menu.

And then there's Colby Jack.

WE DON'T KNOW WHY THERE'S CHEESE AT THIS BRUNCH. PLEASE STOP ASKING. 🧀😭

Honey has declared herself the sophisticated member of the family.

She's requested Egyptian cotton sheets, a heated sunroom, and breakfast served promptly at 8:00.

We explained that she's a shelter kitten.

She asked for the concierge.

HONEY. THE CONCIERGE IS A VOLUNTEER NAMED NANCY.

Nancy is busy.

Honey has threatened to leave a one-star review.

MA'AM. YOU HAVE NEVER PAID FOR A HOTEL ROOM. 😭

She's also announced that she's acquiring the entire New England honey industry.

Apparently, she thinks her name gives her legal ownership of all regional beehives.

HONEY. YOU ARE NOT A BEE.

She has requested a meeting with the Queen.

THE BEES HAVE REFUSED TO NEGOTIATE. 🐝

But underneath all this completely unnecessary luxury lifestyle drama is one absolutely gorgeous little kitten looking for her forever family.

Someone to love her, play with her, and give her a lifetime of happiness.

Preferably someone with a couch.

SHE'S WILLING TO DISCUSS THE EGYPTIAN COTTON.

🍯❤️ HONEY IS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AT HEART OF RI!

🌸🍯 P.S. HONEY HAS HEARD ABOUT OUR Lilly Pulitzer FUNDRAISER AND HAS ALREADY REQUESTED A PERSONAL SHOPPER, A CABANA BOY, AND SOMETHING FLORAL FOR HER NEXT VACATION.

HONEY. YOU ARE A KITTEN. YOUR VACATION IS THE WINDOWSILL AND THE CABANA BOY IS NANCY. 😭🌴

🐒🍟🚨 NEWPORT HAS LOST CONTROL OF CHEEKY MONKEY. THE NEW OWNER IS THREE MONTHS OLD, HAS NO LIQUOR LICENSE, AND HAS BEEN BANNED FROM HIS OWN UPSTAIRS CIGAR LOUNGE.

RHODE ISLAND. WE NEED TO DISCUSS THE CURLY FRIES.

WHO REMEMBERS CHEEKY MONKEY AT PERRY MILL WHARF?!

The monkey-themed décor. The upstairs cigar lounge. The atmosphere.

AND THOSE MONKEY TAIL CURLY FRIES.

THE CURLY FRIES, PEOPLE. SOME OF US ARE STILL EMOTIONALLY PROCESSING THEIR DISAPPEARANCE.

You could go for dinner and somehow end up upstairs, surrounded by decorative monkeys and cigar smoke, wondering how your evening had gotten so completely out of hand.

THAT WAS NEWPORT. WE DIDN'T ASK QUESTIONS. 😭

Well, Cheeky Monkey is making a comeback.

Unfortunately, the new management has four legs, no opposable thumbs, and has already eaten the employee handbook.

🐒🐾 MEET CHEEKY MONKEY.

One of our adorable pittie mix puppies born July 6th.

And apparently, the new owner of an entire waterfront establishment.

He's announced some changes.

The dining room will serve exclusively curly fries.

The upstairs cigar lounge is now a luxury puppy nap facility.

And all customers must provide belly rubs before being seated.

SIR. THAT IS NOT A RESTAURANT. THAT IS A HOSTAGE SITUATION WITH APPETIZERS.

He disagrees.

He's also requested a personal monkey.

DENIED.

A lifetime supply of curly fries.

DENIED.

A waterfront parking space.

CHEEKY MONKEY. YOU CANNOT DRIVE.

He has threatened to contact the Newport Harbor Commission.

SIR. YOU CANNOT EVEN OPERATE THE MICROWAVE. 😭

Meanwhile, the Newport criminal underworld is expanding.

His brother Tropical Gangster is running a fashion empire despite owning NO PANTS.

His sister Cabbage Rose has filed a lawsuit against him for stealing her designs.

Their associates over on Broadway aren't doing much better.

Pour Judgement has reportedly made several terrible financial decisions.

And Cappy is STILL insisting he personally survived the Hurricane of 1938.

THESE DOGS AREN'T EVEN ALL RELATED.

THEY'VE FORMED A MULTI-LITTER CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE. 😭🍟

But beneath all this ridiculousness is a little boy who deserves a wonderful future.

Cheeky Monkey is one of eight pittie mix puppies born into heartbreaking conditions in Texas, where their parents were chained and the family lived without running water or electricity.

Thanks to people who stepped in to help, these babies now have the chance to grow up safe, loved, and surrounded by the good things every puppy deserves. ❤️

🐒❤️ CHEEKY MONKEY IS ARRIVING THIS WEEKEND AT HEART OF RI!

He's a sweet, growing puppy ready for a family who understands puppy training, patience, love, and the occasional unauthorized kitchen inspection.

🏡 CAN WE FIND THIS LITTLE RESTAURANT TYCOON A FOSTER HOME?

Even a few weeks in a loving foster home would give Cheeky Monkey a wonderful start while he waits for his forever family.

He's requested a waterfront suite, unlimited room service, and access to the executive lounge.

WE OFFERED HIM A DOG BED. HE'S THREATENING LITIGATION.

🐾 Apply to foster Cheeky Monkey:
https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/HORI/Dog

💕 ALREADY FALLEN IN LOVE?

We understand.

He's adorable, completely unqualified to run a restaurant, and believes curly fries should be recognized as an essential food group.

HIS BUSINESS PLAN IS A FELONY. HIS FACE IS AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE.

❤️ Apply to adopt Cheeky Monkey:
https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HORI/Dog

🐒 LET'S GET THIS BOY A FOREVER HOME BEFORE HE ATTEMPTS TO ANNEX PERRY MILL WHARF.

He's three months old.

He has no income.

He has no employees.

And he's demanding the deed to the entire waterfront.

SIR. YOU DON'T EVEN OWN YOUR OWN FOOD BOWL.

"But what about the curly fries?"

SOMEONE PLEASE CALL AN ADULT.

And after the difficult beginning this little boy and his siblings experienced, he deserves the happiest next chapter imaginable.

A safe home. A loving family. A lifetime of belly rubs.

THE ORIGINAL CHEEKY MONKEY MAY BE GONE, BUT THIS LITTLE MONKEY'S ADVENTURE IS JUST BEGINNING. 🐒❤️
🍟

10/21/2026

🧀🚨 BREAKING NEWS: A THREE-MONTH-OLD CHEESE PRODUCT HAS DEVELOPED LEGS AND IS NOW ACCEPTING ADOPTION APPLICATIONS.

Rhode Island. WE HAVE A DAIRY EMERGENCY.

LOOK AT HIM.

THE EYES. THE EARS. THE RIDICULOUS LITTLE WHITE MITTENS.

AND THAT TAIL.

SIR. WHO AUTHORIZED THE FEATHER DUSTER?! 😭

🧀🐾 MEET COLBY JACK.

Approximately 3½ months old. Orange, white, ridiculously fluffy, and apparently manufactured in a facility specializing in emotional manipulation.

SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY THIS BALL OF SHREDDED CHEDDAR HAS THE FACE OF A DISNEY PRINCE.

His siblings are named Cherry, Honey, and Maple.

Beautiful names. Sweet names. Names that belong in a charming Vermont café.

And then there's COLBY JACK.

SOMEONE IN THIS FAMILY IS A REFRIGERATED DAIRY PRODUCT. 😭🧀

He has already requested an endorsement deal with the Wisconsin Cheese Board, a personal stylist, and a refrigerated dressing room.

COLBY. YOU ARE A KITTEN. YOU WILL NOT BE STORED IN THE DELI DRAWER.

He disagrees.

Apparently, his official title is now:

LORD COLBY JACK, DUKE OF CHEDDAR, SUPREME COMMANDER OF THE FLUFF.

WE ARE NOT PUTTING THAT ON HIS VETERINARY RECORD.

But beneath this completely unnecessary dairy scandal is one absolutely precious little boy looking for his forever family.

❤️ COLBY JACK IS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AT HEART OF RI!

He's ready for kitten adventures, playtime, love, and a family willing to tolerate his increasingly unreasonable demands.

💕 Apply to adopt Colby Jack:

https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HORI/Cat

🧀🌸 P.S. COLBY JACK HAS HEARD ABOUT OUR Lilly Pulitzer FUNDRAISER AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THEY SELL CHEESE.

SIR. IT'S A CLOTHING STORE.

"Do they have a dairy department?"

COLBY JACK. YOU ARE A KITTEN. NOT A CHARCUTERIE BOARD. BUT NOW WE WANT TO TAKE A FIELD TRIP TO GRAZE ON MAIN. 😭🧀

💕 Join us Friday, October 30, from 10 AM – 6 PM for Lilly Pulitzer's Shop to Support event! 10% of event proceeds will benefit Heart of RI and the animals in our care.

🛍️ Come shop, treat yourself to something beautiful, and help us give more animals their happily ever after!

Participating locations: Cranston, Chatham, Chestnut Hill, Hingham, Lynnfield, and Mashpee.

COLBY JACK HAS REQUESTED THAT SOMEONE PICK HIM UP A NICE CHEDDAR. PLEASE DO NOT. HE HAS NO MONEY AND WE ARE NOT STARTING A DELI. 🧀😭💕

10/21/2026

DON'T FORGET WE ARE OPEN TONIGHT UNTIL 7PM FOR AN ADOPTION EVENT SPONSORED BY THE GENEROUS TEAM AT BALISE SUBARU!
🐩❤️ ATTENTION, RHODE ISLAND. AN 18-POUND GENTLEMAN IS HEADING NORTH. HE HAS BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH AND WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THE COUCH.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Wilson.

Approximately 7–8 years old. 18 pounds. Poodle mix.

SMALL DOG. BIG FEELINGS. ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST IN YOUR FIVE-YEAR PLAN.

Wilson has a few requests.

A comfortable lap.

A leisurely stroll.

A soft bed.

And someone who understands that at a certain age, a gentleman should be allowed to spend an entire afternoon doing absolutely nothing.

HE'S NOT LAZY. HE'S RETIRED. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE. 😭❤️

But Wilson's story is one that deserves to be told.

For more than a year, this sweet little boy survived on the streets, relying on kind neighbors for food.

He was terribly matted, had survived a dog attack, and was living with painful old injuries.

And perhaps the most heartbreaking detail?

HE WAS ALREADY NEUTERED AND MICROCHIPPED.

Unfortunately, the microchip company had closed, and no owner information was available.

We don't know how Wilson ended up alone or what his life looked like before.

But we'd like to believe he once knew the comfort of a home.

AND WE THINK IT'S TIME HE HAD ONE AGAIN. ❤️

Our wonderful partners, Saving Grace Rescue LBK, stepped in and made sure Wilson received the thorough veterinary care he deserved.

Bloodwork. Ultrasound. Dental care. A complete evaluation.

And remarkably, he's doing quite well considering everything he's endured!

He is heartworm negative, with no masses detected. He has mild heart changes requiring annual monitoring but no cardiac medication at this time.

He's finishing treatment for anaplasmosis and has knee arthritis, old rib injuries that remain painful, and some vision changes from a previous eye injury. He'll need ongoing arthritis care and gentle handling, particularly around his ribs.

Despite everything?

THIS LITTLE MAN IS PURE LOVE.

He adores quiet walks, warm laps, and simply being close to his person.

He's done well with other dogs, although he can be protective of food and toys, so thoughtful management is important.

He has absolutely no interest in running a Newport restaurant or joining our increasingly concerning puppy crime syndicate.

WILSON WOULD LIKE EVERYONE TO CALM DOWN.

He's reviewed their activities.

He's appalled.

"IN MY DAY, WE DIDN'T NEED A LAWYER TO EAT BREAKFAST." 😭

🚐❤️ Project Freedom Ride IS ON ITS WAY, AND WILSON WILL BE HERE THIS WEEKEND!

We would LOVE to have a loving foster or forever home waiting for him.

🏡 COULD YOU GIVE WILSON A SOFT PLACE TO LAND?

A calm home, a patient person, and someone comfortable helping him with his ongoing medical needs would mean the world to this sweet boy.

He's requested a recliner, a heated blanket, and exclusive control of the television remote.

WILSON. WE CAN DISCUSS THE RECLINER.

🐾 Apply to foster Wilson:
https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/HORI/Dog

💕 READY TO GIVE THIS GENTLEMAN HIS FOREVER HOME?

Wilson doesn't need someone to erase his past.

He needs someone to make sure his future looks nothing like it.

HIS WISHLIST IS SHORT. HIS HEART IS HUGE.

❤️ Apply to adopt Wilson:
https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HORI/Dog

He survived the streets.

He survived an attack.

He survived being alone.

And after all that, his favorite place is still someone's lap.

HE SPENT MORE THAN A YEAR TRYING TO SURVIVE.

LET'S MAKE SURE THE REST OF HIS LIFE IS ABOUT LIVING. ❤️🐾

P.S. WILSON WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY THAT HE IS NOT "SENIOR." HE IS A DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN. HIS RETIREMENT PACKAGE SHOULD INCLUDE DAILY STROLLS, UNLIMITED LAP ACCESS, AND ABSOLUTELY NO MEETINGS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AN EMAIL SANDRA. 🐩❤️

10/21/2026

🌹🛍️🚨 BREAKING NEWS FROM LOWER THAMES STREET: CABBAGE ROSE IS BACK. THE NEW OWNER HAS NO MONEY, NO BUSINESS LICENSE, AND HAS ALREADY FIRED THE ENTIRE STAFF.

RHODE ISLAND. WE HAVE A RETAIL EMERGENCY.

WHO REMEMBERS CABBAGE ROSE?!

That adorable little boutique at 493 Thames Street in Newport?

The dresses. The denim. The accessories. The completely unnecessary purchases that somehow became wardrobe essentials.

WE WENT IN FOR A BLOUSE, TAYLOR. WE CAME OUT WITH AN ENTIRE NEW PERSONALITY. 😭

Well, Cabbage Rose is making a comeback.

Unfortunately, the new management has four legs, no retail experience, and an extremely questionable business plan.

🌹🐾 MEET CABBAGE ROSE.

One of our adorable pittie mix puppies born July 6th.

She's already eliminated formalwear, replaced the accessories department with tennis balls, and launched a fall collection featuring oversized sweaters and distressed denim.

WE HAVE SEEN THE DENIM.

SHE DISTRESSED IT HERSELF. WITH HER TEETH. 😭

She's also requesting a corporate credit card, a reserved parking space on Thames Street, and an office with a harbor view.

CABBAGE ROSE. YOU ARE THREE MONTHS OLD. YOU CANNOT EVEN SPELL INVENTORY.

And apparently, there's trouble brewing in the Newport fashion industry.

Her brother Tropical Gangster has declared himself an internationally recognized designer despite owning NO PANTS.

Cabbage Rose has accused him of stealing her fall collection.

He has accused her of copyright infringement.

THEY ARE BOTH WEARING FUR.

NEITHER HAS A LAWYER.

THIS LITTER NEEDS ADULT SUPERVISION. 😭🌴

But behind this ridiculous little fashion empire is a puppy who deserves something wonderful.

Cabbage Rose is one of eight pittie mix puppies born into heartbreaking conditions in Texas, where their parents were chained and the family lived without running water or electricity.

Thanks to people who cared enough to help, these babies now have a chance at the loving lives they deserve. ❤️

🌹❤️ CABBAGE ROSE IS ARRIVING THIS WEEKEND AT HEART OF RI!

She's a sweet, growing puppy ready for a family who can provide love, patience, training, and all the adventures that come with raising a little one.

🏡 CAN WE FIND OUR TINY FASHION EXECUTIVE A FOSTER HOME?

Even a few weeks in a loving foster home would give Cabbage Rose a wonderful start while she waits for her forever family.

PLEASE NOTE: SHE HAS REQUESTED A WALK-IN CLOSET AND A CORPORATE EXPENSE ACCOUNT.

BOTH HAVE BEEN DENIED.

🐾 Apply to foster Cabbage Rose:
https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/HORI/Dog

💕 ALREADY FALLEN IN LOVE?

We understand.

She's adorable, completely unqualified to operate a retail establishment, and apparently believes Thames Street belongs to her.

HER BUSINESS PLAN IS TERRIBLE. HER FACE IS EXCEPTIONAL.

❤️ Apply to adopt Cabbage Rose:
https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HORI/Dog

🌹 LET'S FIND THIS LITTLE GIRL A FOREVER HOME BEFORE SHE ATTEMPTS A HOSTILE TAKEOVER OF NEWPORT'S RETAIL DISTRICT.

She's three months old.

She has no income.

She has no credit.

And she's currently threatening legal action against Tropical Gangster.

MA'AM. THAT IS YOUR BROTHER.

"He stole my designs."

YOU BOTH EAT SHOES. 😭

The little girl who started life with so little deserves a future filled with everything that matters.

Safety. Kindness. Love.

And someone who will always make her feel she belongs.

THE BOUTIQUE MAY BE CLOSED, BUT THIS LITTLE ROSE IS JUST BEGINNING TO BLOOM. 🌹❤️
