Black Labrador Retriever and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Providence, Rhode Island

Meet Mama!
Mama is a true sweetheart and she's sure to charm you with her easy-going demeanor and friendly, social personality. Mama is an old lady of 16 years, but all that means is that she's ready to be spoiled, loved on, and cherished throughout her golden years. What this means to Mama? Comfy beds, snuggle time, plenty of snacks, and the occasional short walk to let her get a little exercise. Mama has lived with other dogs and cats before and she'd likely be happy to settle into a home with a few furry companions (as long as they aren't too rough with her! Her wrestling days are long past.) She also has experience with children and tends to be gentle and calm with them.

So, if lazy days and snack time are more your vibe than an energetic go-getter of a dog, Mama's here just waiting for you to visit. She does have a few medical concerns that we'd be more than happy to discuss, but her quality of life is good and she acts as if no one thought to tell her that she ever aged past her 10th birthday.
