ADOPTED ON 08-02-17 - Alexis is truly a perfect example of why we all continue to rescue. There are simply too many deserving and perfectly adoptable puppies that are wandering in the south and need help. These puppies roam onto to home owner’s property hoping for a meal or a kind word, in many cases they are abandoned or picked up as strays through no fault of their own. Imagine a four month old baby, dumped in the woods to fend for herself and hearing the sounds of wild animals looking for their next meal.
Alexis is a White Labrador Retriever Mix. At this age, it is hard to know exactly what breed she is, however we do know that she is mixed with love and puppy perfection---no matter what her breed! This little girl will get a hold of your heart and will not let go. Her oversized ears for her body makes her the cutest thing you have ever seen. She is a lover, when her brothers and sisters are jumping up and down to get their turn, Alexis patiently waits her chance. As soon as she gets in your arms she buries her head in your neck and is ready to stay there. She tries to be as still as she can, maybe she thinks if she is still long enough you will forget about her. This little girl will melt your heart.
Alexis will be happy anywhere she goes where she is loved and given attention. She is very gentle with kids. She knows that she is safe and rescued; she is wonderful with other dogs and is a happy, social puppy. Her tail is always wagging and she loves being held. She greets every moment and every new situation with enthusiastic delight; it's inspiring to be around her at any time. She's a fun-loving: everything a well-balanced, happy, socialized and eager puppy should be. She encounters life situations with a sense of excitement and curious endeavor that it would behoove all of us to pay attention to the wonder of the world in the way this dog does so naturally.
She has been exposed to a variety of settings and feel confident that this dog and her siblings would pretty much fit in anywhere. That's not something we can say often or with such complete confidence either, especially at this young age. Of course, no puppy thrives when left alone, not well-exercised or cared for properly given their individual needs; that should go without saying, especially in rescue! It is important to remind potential adopters of any dog -- regardless of the rescue organization -- that all rescued animals need continued training, consistent rules, socialization and exercise to maintain a healthy and happy disposition. In many ways dogs are a lot like children, requiring all the same things to thrive: constant love, healthy nutrition, exercise, stimulation, guidelines and structure, understanding and purpose in life. For Alexis, that purpose is clear. She wants only to please, love and play! A snuggle bunny of grave proportions, Alexis pretty much enjoys anything and everything!
When we are asked by to help these dogs, we do what we can to make a difference but we can only rescue one dog at a time and we know we can't save them all. If you're committed to helping a deserving dog in need, and want to help us make a difference to Alexis and be the last chapter in her rescue story, please apply today, you won’t be sorry.

RESCUE ANGELS
Rescuers and angels, you cannot see their wings
They keep them neatly folded, as they do their caring things
The medicine to make you well, good food to make you strong
And finally to help you learn that hugs are never wrong
The perfect place then must be found, the home where you can live
Secure and safe and happy with joy to get and give
When you reach your Forever Home, your place to feel whole
The Angels smile, and off they go to save another soul

About Our Rescue
These dogs deserve all of our attention, and in Rescue Dog Village, we are committed to our adopters and our dogs equally. We offer full disclosure and hope to make the best matches possible. Please know our adoption fees never cover our expenses. We rely on the generosity of our adopters and supporters to help us help the dogs.
Our rescue is ONLY in the business of offering FULL DISCLOSURE to adopters, and expects and hopes to engage your questions and concerns fully. We owe it to the dogs we rescue and all the wonderful families/adopters who might consider welcoming our charges into their hearts and home. Our dogs are waiting for that ideal forever home where they will be cherished as deserving family members. It's sad these second chances are even necessary for these dogs, but we are committed to them and will devote the time and energy to their rehoming, and not just MOVE them to save more dogs. We diligently and responsibly seek good matches as we don't want to re-home the dog again. These animals have already endured more than they should have, and through no fault of their own. It behooves us to be honest and forthright, and we appreciate the same in return from applicants. It's that winning combination of reciprocal trust and respect that allows for successful placements to be made. Happy adopters translate to happy dogs, and that's our goal!
Our rescue volunteers will be more than honored to be in touch with you directly and promptly, after receiving your application and conducting a mandatory a veterinarian check. If you have never owned a dog before, please submit your application regardless, and we will be in touch with you as soon as possible. TAKE NOTE YOU SHOULD CHECK YOUR SPAM AS SOME RESPONSES FROM US WIND UP THERE WE'VE DISCOVERED. Also, take care to contact your veterinarian to let them know a member of rescue will be inquiring about your pet history!
Thank you for respecting that we all donate our time to saving these animals, and understand we value your philanthropic and compassionate desire to help be part of the rescue team. That said, you'll understand why we are committed to the well-being of our charges and consider this veterinarian check mandatory. If you are a first-time dog owner, we will work with you every step of the way! ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION ARE AS MUCH A PART OF RESPONSIBLE RESCUE AS ADOPTION! And it takes a RESCUE VILLAGE to help the most dogs possible in a thorough manner to ensure success on all fronts, and then some! It is an awful feeling to fail a dog, and we can't continue rescue if we don't do everything we can to ensure good matches for the dogs and tender families who might adopt them. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.
Although we are an extremely small rescue group, we understand and respect your family's eagerness to be in touch and learn as much as you can about the dogs you are considering adopting. Our very experienced and devoted trainer will be happy to share all aspects of OUR RESCUE DOGS to determine compatibility once you've submitted your application, and another of our volunteers will explain the whole process of our rescue and answer any questions you might have as well
