Lola, a 2-year-old pit bull mix, has been waiting a long time for her forever home. She is a very good girl with people and loves to be pet, but needs to be placed in a home with adults only. She does not like children and was relinquished for this reason. Because Lola has already lived in a home, she is housebroken and has some basic manners. Lola is very playful and energetic when let out of her kennel, but calms down considerably after a few minutes of being allowed to run and play. She loves all forms of attention and is eagerly waiting at the Cranston Animal Shelter for her adoption day.

The adoption fee for Lola is $180. This fee must be paid with a check or money order and includes all initial vaccinations, heartworm testing and spaying/neutering. To insure we adopt all of our residents into responsible homes, we require adopters to provide proof of home ownership or a notarized letter of permission from your landlord. If you are hoping to adopt an animal but think that Lola may not be the right fit for your home, please look for “Animal of the Week” article featured next week or pick up a copy of the PawPrint Press, our quarterly newsletter for the Cranston Animal Shelter featuring the animals available for adoption. We distribute it at local businesses and libraries in Cranston as well as at the shelter itself. You could also view the digital version of the PawPrint Press, by visiting the Cranston Police Department’s Facebook page or web page at www.cranstonpoliceri.com and clicking on the Animal Shelter and PawPrint Press tab. Also, please do not hesitate to visit or call the Cranston Animal Shelter to see if Lola is still available or if you have a question about any of our other animals.  Before an animal can be taken from his/her kennel, you must fill our adoption application. These applications are completely non-binding and allow us to learn more about our potential adopters as well as shielding our residents from people who use the shelter as a petting zoo. The staff at the Cranston Animal Shelter is very dedicated to matching all of our animals to the right homes.   

The Cranston Animal Shelter is located at 920 Phenix Ave. and is open from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday. The phone number is 464-8700.
