Told me was a (no kill shelter) surrendered my 6 year old pit princess... awesome dog, smart as could be. I checked on her 1 week after and they said she was aclamiting great! Called today 3 weeks after just wondering how she was doing, and they told me she couldn't walk! Their vet determined numerological issues and they euthanized her! I'm completely beside myself! I had no choice but to give her up thinking she would be ok, and be adopted. It was either that or be homeless with a 10 year old daughter. They murdered our dog! No kill my azz!

Very impressed with customer service. The doctors were great too. Much less expensive than Oaklawn , Atwood Animal Hospital, Warwick Animal Hospital.and Ferguson in North Providence.Actually affordable. Other Vets rip you off with their high prices

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I think if you brought them to SPCA animal rescue I think they would be accepted and I think they will find a home for them they are wonderful people I know your dogs are old but there are some people that just take in in Foster elderly dogs. Good luck and God bless you

Hi I just lost one of my cats he was 18 and my 16 year old has been meowing at night what can I do

Lisa Falconer | Sep 3, 2019
Deb Sullivan | Sep 3, 2019

Lisa, my condolences on your loss. Just like humans animals grieve. He misses his friend. I lost my 13 yr old Snowshoe June 2018 and my other 2 cats were going crazy looking all over for Esheah. It takes time. Just give your cat lots of extra hugs and love and both of you will get through this difficult time. Hope this helps. Again I'm sorry for your loss.

They have all different ages of dogs. Your best bet is to go in person as the dogs are always changing. You could also ask questions about any specific breed or mix they may have.

Do they pick up stray cats. One hanging around my house couple months very lovable deserves home but I have two can not take him. Live on busy street do not want him killed

Kevin Snoek | Sep 3, 2018
Amber | Sep 3, 2018

I definitely dont think they pick them up. Ive been in a lot lately and talking to some of the girls there they said they hardly even take on any strays. Best bet is to give them a call and see if they can take the cat but im pretty aure youd have to bring it in yourself.

Is this a no kill shelter?

Sean Dowrey | Sep 3, 2018
Rhode Island SPCA | Sep 3, 2018

Yes, Sean. We are considering a "no kill shelter". We do not euthanize animals based on a time limit or space. We don't euthanize if the animal is unable to be rehabilitated or is too sick or injured for it to be humane to continue their life.

DoloresTheresa LaGrave | Sep 3, 2018
Rhode Island SPCA | Sep 3, 2018

Depends on the cat and if there is a person who is looking for a cat like the one that was surrendered! Generally, animals only stay for an average of 11 days at the RISPCA once they become available for adoption. :-)

I have a 5 mth old red nose pit bull female who eats her own feces after I feed her. Why does my dog do that??

Jasmine Graulau | Sep 3, 2018
Rhode Island SPCA | Sep 3, 2018

Some veterinary nutritionists have suggested that dogs eat stool to replenish enzymes so that they are better prepared to digest their food. There is also evidence that dogs that aren't getting enough of certain nutrients will resort to eating poop. A lack of vitamin B is often said to be a cause of coprophagia.

Do you pay to foster cats?

Heather “Heath” Coelho | Sep 3, 2018
Rhode Island SPCA | Sep 3, 2018

Nope! It's a volunteer basis.

Do you have to pay to adopt an dog or puppy If so what is the average cost

Moxaz | Sep 2, 2020
Robert Williams | Sep 2, 2020

They were a little over $200 for me to adopt my dog, but that included his first vet visit (to an approved vet), collar n lead from up country, and a bag of dog food. So, worth the price to me.
