Story
Meet Penny 🩷 We're not sure what breed mix Penny is, but whatever it is, she's adorable!. She has the sweet, reserved nature of a smart dog who is very observant of everything around her. While her sister is out meeting everybody, Penny is sizing up the situation. Once she decides you're OK, she's your sweetest little fan. Penny was born in December 2025, and though it took her a bit to recover ftom being abandoned on a dirt road in freezing temperatures, she has blossomed into a well-behaved little thing. She likes other dogs, is not a jumper, and she sits by her crate waiting until the food is put down before she goes in to eat. Penny is the epitome of the well-behaved dog. She's calm, quiet, affectionate but not needy, and will let you love on her but won't pester you. She waits patiently for food and is not food aggressive. Penny loves chasing balls and chewing on sticks, and still has the lanky goofiness of a puppy. She was born in November 2025. She's the best girl and we will be so happy when she finds the best home. Penny is spayed, up to date on shots, and on heartworm preventative. She is ready to go! 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.

Australian Cattle Dog Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 4 yrs 11 mos
Providence, RI
Size

Details
Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Jax! This clever little man is suspected to be a cattle dog mix, but he's short and small at under 40 lbs - he's basically a pocket heeler! Jax is playful, his favorite toy is a flirt pole but he's up for just about any game that involves running and jumping and a general air of silliness. He's not an overly high energy dog and can settle down well after a good run-around in the yard. While Jax can initially be nervous around new people, he is endlessly loving and affectionate with the people he feels safe with. He'll lean into scritches, nudge your hand for attention, jump up to lick your cheek, and show in just about every way possible how much he loves you. After several months at PARL, he considers himself a pro at the office dog life - endlessly distracting in the very best way possible, after all who actually wants to be writing emails when Jax is right there and ready to be petted? Jax is good with other dogs and done well with dogs of all sizes. He doesn't have previous experience with cats but has shown a prey drive with birds and other small animals so any cat/dog intro would need to be slow and thoughtful to ensure the safety and comfort of all animals involved. As Jax can be mouthy at times during play and is initially nervous of new people, he'd do best in a home with older teenagers or adults only. He can be anxious with sudden loud noises or lots of activity, so unfortunately he wouldn't be the ideal dog for an apartment building. Jax is in our special adoption program which sets adopters and their new pets up for success with pre and post adoption counseling. If you are interested in meeting him or learning more, please complete an adopter's profile at parl.org and email Claire at cshamgochian@parl.org to schedule an appointment.
