My story

It’s the moment you’ve been waiting for…Lulu is now heartworm negative! 😍

The mama to our “NFL Litter” is now ready for a home North or South! Her foster mom has had her for over a year waiting on this moment and loving her every day. She can’t even picture life without Lulu in it, but she knows she deserves a family to call her own. 🏡

This girl cannot control her “licker”! She loves to smother you in kisses, and happy to greet everyone she meets! She can also clear any fence - but she doesn’t want to escape, she merely wants to make new friends🐾

Her Current foster does not have a fence but has many acres and Lulu loves to romp but never wants to leave home base. Although she is happy running the trails, Lulu would be just as happy being a couch potato and snuggling up with her humans anytime they were available. 💤

Lulu sleeps with her 11 year old foster brother most nights, and she is happy sleeping in all weekend or rolling out of bed at 6 AM. She is 100% perfect with chickens and lives with them daily. 🐓

This perfect pittie has never met a stranger and is fantastic with other dogs. We would love for her to have a four-legged friend in her new home. Although she lives with cats, we think it’s best that she go to a cat-free home. Oh, and did we mention that she loves to go for car rides! She goes to work with her foster mom almost daily. She will ride shotgun, or anywhere she can squeeze. 🚗

Lulu also frequents the ballpark, where she gets constant attention and makes lots of new friends. She walks well on a leash, but she does get very excited and needs to be reminded not to jump to say hello. She is so smart and eager to please, she would do very well with consistency and training. She lived way too long on a chain, not knowing when she would eat again so she certainly appreciates her meals, but she is not food aggressive and often eats with puppies sticking their head in her bowl. She can sit and certainly knows to shake, as she will paw you yo say “I’m sorry”, or “hi” or “pet me”. 🥰

Lulu is perfect in our eyes, but it’s time to share her joy, and let her bring happiness to a loving family that she has certainly earned.🖤

More about this rescue

I have been in Rescue for 11 years and created my own last March. We have a heart for the underdogs and are willing to do whatever it takes for any dog that we commit to to make them healthy and adoptable so that they become cherished members of loving families. Rescue is not something that I would have chosen for my life, but it chose me and we work hard to give animals a chance that so deserve it.
Below is my narrative, if interested:


"It all began when I rescued my first dog, a Catahoula mix named Dixie, known affectionately by many as “Dixie Girl”, .hence the name of this organization. Dixie was an emaciated adult dog hit previously by a car and who had not stepped foot in a house prior to her rescue. She stopped my heart the minute I saw her and changed my world forever. Since her rescue, she has been my best friend showing unconditional love through the thick and thin of every aspect of my life. I feel everyone should experience the kind of love Dixie and I feel for each other, and, since that day, my passion and empathy for abandoned, forgotten dogs has consumed my life."


Founded in 2018, Dixie Girl Dog Rescue (DGDR) rescues dogs of all ages and breeds. As articulated in our Mission Statement: “Dixie Girl Dog Rescue is a nonprofit organization dedicated to finding forever families for unwanted, neglected, abused, and homeless dogs. Most organizations are willing to acquire healthy, young puppies, and while we do the same, we are here for the dogs who need a little extra help, including the mangy, sick, “broken”, broken-hearted, those who have been abandoned, left behind, and thrown away. What makes DGDR so unique is our willingness to save dogs from any situation, no matter how bad the dog's condition. With the help of our committed foster families, we work diligently to place dogs into permanent, loving, and, most importantly, responsible homes with families dedicated to caring for and making each animal feel like a newer, happier version of themselves. To ensure our rescues find the right families, we require a comprehensive adoption process. This process includes detailed applications, proper education to prospective adopters, vet checks, references, and thorough client interviews.


Dixie Girl Dog Rescue collaborates with other rescue organizations to safely transport and place our rescues into homes primarily in the northern United States. Dogs in our care receive all proper veterinary care prior to adoption, and, once medically sound, are transported up north fully vaccinated, micro-chipped, and spayed or neutered.


All donations received go directly to the care of our rescues. With the implementation of a 501(c)(3) status, our donors will be eligible for a tax deduction, therefore making them more inclined to support our overall goals. Rescuing is the first and most critical step; however, the rescued dog(s) requires/require so much more. Medical expenses, the cost of fostering, food, supplies, the adoption process, and our organized transportation services encompass a vast amount of labor, time and ongoing funding.


We continue building relationships with a number of dog lovers along with many others willing to fund our efforts if tax deductions are available. In addition to these private donations, DGDR plans to generate revenues from varied seasonal events, silent auctions, bake sales, lake events sponsored by partnered homeowners, themed events at local restaurants, and other experiences created via our partnerships with area businesses, restaurants, and local merchants willing to selflessly donate a portion of their proceeds to DGDR.


Obviously, this is a very quick overview of what transpires for each and every animal rescue organization but, hopefully, provides the necessary recap of efforts expended on behalf of the dogs we work so hard to give a second chance at life. With the right people and right resources, we can make a tremendous difference in the rescue world."
