Story
🐾💙 Meet Finn — Your Thoughtful Trail Buddy 💙🐾 Finn is a 6-year-old purebred Border Collie with soulful eyes and a heart full of quiet devotion. This handsome boy is looking for a peaceful home where he can truly shine. 🏡 Finn is house trained, kennel trained, and walks beautifully on leash. He’s been working hard on calmly passing other dogs on walks and would be the perfect hiking or walking companion for someone who enjoys a little adventure with a loyal shadow. 🧠 True to his breed, Finn is smart, intuitive, and deeply connected to his people. He thrives in a calm, consistent home and prefers to be the only dog. He’s great with cats and older children but isn’t a match for loud, chaotic households or young kids. 🎯 Loud noises like gunshots startle him, so a quieter, rural, or suburban setting would suit him best. Finn isn’t high maintenance—he just wants a person to bond with and a peaceful space to relax in. If you’ve been searching for a steady, affectionate companion who will reward your patience with unwavering loyalty, Finn may be your perfect match. 💙 If interested in adopting one of our available pets, please fill out an application at https://www.dixiegirldogrescue.org/forms PLEASE MAKE NOTE- OUR DOGS ARE FOSTERED IN ALABAMA (UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED), OUR DOGS TRANSPORT TO THEIR NEW FAMILIES IN RHODE ISLAND AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN ADOPTED. Our rescue pets are fostered in Southern foster homes (unless otherwise stated) and are posted for adoption once they are completely vetted and ready to travel. Our pets are adoptable in Alabama and New England States. Our adoption fee includes transport fee, spay/neuter, current vaccinations, deworming, heart worm test for animals over 7 months old, all necessary vetting and an interstate health certificate. Once an application is received, our team is happy to answer all of your questions and send additional pictures and videos. Thank you for thinking rescue!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application   HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see   HERE Age: 10 months (as of 12/6/25) Weight: 50 lbs (as of 3/13/25) Location: RI Meet Minnie! Minnie is a bright, lovable, and energetic young pup searching for her home. She’s happiest when she’s on the move—enjoying long morning walks, romping in the yard, or playing a game of fetch. Minnie attends daycare several days a week and loves to socialize and play with other dogs. Minnie would do best in an adult-only household with predictable movements and noises.  She thrives in an environment with clear routines and plenty of physical and mental stimulation. She’s housetrained, crate trained, and enjoys learning new tricks and commands—she’ll happily show them off for a treat! Minnie would do best with another social, confident and outgoing dog in the home and alongside her in all that she does. She gains confidence from dog friends and blossoms most when she has a playful canine companion by her side, reinforcing that new things are nothing to be concerned about. Minnie is working hard on her manners and can get a bit anxious when meeting new people, facing unfamiliar situations or seeing new things, but with continued guidance and reassurance, she quickly settles in.  Minnie is a smart girl, and eager to learn and be in tune with her people. Ideal adopters for Minnie will be active, patient, and ready to provide her with the exercise, enrichment, predictability and companionship she craves. If you’re looking for a loyal, lively, and loving addition to your family Minnie just might be your perfect match! An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see  HERE  for more information about this. To apply for this dog, fill out an adoption application on our website:  Adoption Application - SOS Animal Rescue League in Rhode Island (sosarl.org) **Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 29, 2025, 9:17 am

Story
Meet Shawna! This girl is pure sunshine wrapped in fur — just look at that smile! Her sweet, expressive eyes and happy-go-lucky grin could melt even the coldest heart. Shawna’s the kind of dog who makes every day brighter just by being in it. She’s a 1-year-old Border Collie/Heeler mix who’s super affectionate, snuggly, and will flash that irresistible grin the moment you rub her belly. Shawna is playful and full of fun, puppy energy. She does great on leash and in the car, making her the perfect little adventure buddy. She’s friendly and loves kids and other dogs, though she’ll need a feline-free home as her instincts may lead her to chase them. Smart as can be, Shawna is already housebroken and eager to please. She’s spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to find her forever family — one that loves smiles, snuggles, and spontaneous tail wags as much as she does!

RPACI is a non profit rescue, and currently possess our 501C3 to operate as such. Please visit us on Facebook: Rebecca's Paws and Claws in Remlap and our website: www.rpacirescue.org. All dogs from this rescue are transported from Alabama to the New England area and delivered in RI. Each dog will come fully vetted. Price also includes transportation and a Health Certificate as required by law. There is a 100.00 deposit required at the time of adoption to secure the transport crate. The remainder of the fee will be paid once you pick up the dog. Naturally the 100.00 comes off the total owed at pick up. It will be refunded if for any reason you decide you do not want to adopt, unless the transport has already left.with the dog. To get a application please go to: saveapreciouspaw@gmail.com Meet Callie 🖤 Callie is a 7-month-old Border Collie/Shepherd mix who is as gentle as she is adorable. This sweet girl has a soft, loving nature and a happy, goofy personality that makes everyone fall in love with her. She is incredibly social and does beautifully with kids, cats, and other dogs. Callie is very gentle in her play and interactions, making her a wonderful fit for a family or a multi-pet home. She’s still a puppy and learning the ropes, but she’s smart and eager to please, so she’s picking up crate and house training quickly. Callie loves being around people, soaking up attention, and showing off her sweet smile. She has such a kind heart and just wants to belong. Callie is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to find her forever home. If you’re looking for a loving, easygoing pup who will grow into the most loyal companion, Callie is waiting for you. 🐾🖤

Story
Poncho is one happy dog! He loves to smile and show off those cute teefs. Poncho was picked up as a puppy in the fall of 2024. His siblings were picked up several weeks before, but he would not come to people until his mom was hit by a car. He absolutely adores people now!! He's so good with kids. Poncho is great with other dogs, takes treats gently, is house trained, and LOVES to be outside! He really loves swimming amd romping in the pond. Poncho may have some border collie in him because he loves to run cows. He will need a fenced-in yard because he will chase cars. Poncho is medium size and at 18 months old as of December 2025, he shouldn't get much bigger. He's fully vetted and ready to hang out with you!
