About Dixie Dog Rescue
Dixie Dog Rescue is an all-breed rescue group headquartered in West Hartford, CT. Our group is comprised of volunteers all over Eastern United States who love dogs and want to help those that end up homeless through no fault of their own. Loyal and loving dogs turn up every day in Southern shelters, as owners turn them in or they’re found roaming the streets after being dumped. We evaluate each dog’s temperament and suitability for living with other dogs, cats, and children. The dogs’ health is checked, and we make sure they are up-to-date on all shots and spayed or neutered. Then, we place them in loving foster homes until they find their very own family. Our goal is to meet the needs of each individual dog and to assure proper placement in a loving forever home.
Dixie Dog Rescue is dedicated to animal rescue. In addition to our primary goal of helping homeless and abandoned dogs, we
-donate money to low-cost spay/neuter clinics in the south to help solve the problem of pet overpopulation;
-engage in community outreach activities with local schools to help educate children and young adults about animal rescue and responsible pet ownership;
-team with non-profit organizations that train rescued dogs to assist disabled people. More than two dozen of our Dixie Dogs have become certified service dogs, helping disabled people lead more independent lives.
We are proud of the work we do with our Dixie Dogs and in our local communities.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
