Story
Strudel is looking for a home! This little girl came to us a few months ago unable to walk. We don't know what happened to her but due to her injuries we knew it was some sort of trauma. We don't know anything about her history but we believe she is around 5 or 6 years old and she weighs 20lbs. Strudel got an MRI and immediately had spinal surgery to repair her damaged spine. And after months of crate-rest and then physical therapy she is now walking again! She is truly a fighter! We know Strudel will continue to get stronger the more she moves and we would love her to go somewhere where she can continue to get occasional physical therapy. Strudel is a very active Boston Terrier and she can be vocal. She also tends to have stranger danger when she meets new people especially when there is a barrier (fence or pen). Strudel has been great with all the dogs here but she can't live with cats. She likes to chase them. She won't be able to do stairs or get on/off furniture on her own. Strudel is up to date on vaccines and recently had full bloodwork. She's scheduled to be spayed and have 2 broken teeth removed at our vet on 9/23. We would love to find her an adopter who can take her home after she's recovered from her surgery. To apply to adopt Strudel, please fill out an application at vintagepetrescue.org/adopt

Story
Due to the owner's illness, Miss Fig was returned to us as her family could no longer care for her. Miss Fig embodies everything you would expect from her breed—she is comical and full of personality. She thrives in a home with another small dog but can also be your one and only companion. Her compatibility with cats is unknown. Fig is both housetrained and crate trained. She adores car rides and eagerly waits by the door to accompany you on errands. Playful and energetic, she can enjoy a cozy evening watching TV or engage in a lively game of tug. Veterinary care can be costly, and French Bulldogs often require more medical attention than many other breeds. Fig has a luxating patella, which does not affect her mobility, but you will need to keep an eye on her zoomies. Last year, her ears were treated twice for yeast and bacteria infections. After switching her diet to Venture Rabbit and Pumpkin dry formula, her ear issues have significantly decreased. She also had a histoma in her ear that was treated, resulting in one ear flopping when it healed, which we believe adds to her charm. Additionally, she requires daily tail cleaning using Malaket (dispensed from her veterinarian) wipes for her tail and pocket. If this level of care seems overwhelming, it may be best to reconsider adopting a Frenchie, as this is minimal compared to the needs of other French Bulldogs. Submit your app at www.almosthomeri.org

Meet Mama Coco! Adoption Fee: $449 Includes transport Adoption Application - Copy & Paste https://forms.gle/FmtRtYxQNnemdkdw9 Mama Coco is a gorgeous, happy-go-lucky Bulldog mix with the biggest smile and an even bigger heart! At approximately 4 years old and 45 pounds, she's the perfect medium-sized companion who is ready to leave her past behind and start the life she's always deserved. For the first three years of her life, Coco knew very little kindness. She spent her days chained outside, receiving almost no attention while having litter after litter of puppies. Since joining rescue, she's discovered what it means to be loved—and now all she wants is to share that love with her forever family. Coco is one of the most affectionate dogs you'll ever meet. She absolutely loves people and hands out kisses freely to everyone she meets. Whether you're relaxing on the couch or heading out for an adventure, Coco simply wants to be by your side. She especially loves car rides and happily hops in to be your co-pilot wherever you're going. She's wonderful with children and enjoys meeting new people. Her sweet personality and constant smile make friends everywhere she goes. Coco gets along well with dogs of all sizes, although she's a gentle, submissive girl and can sometimes be intimidated by more dominant dogs. She has shown too much interest in chasing cats, so we recommend a cat-free home. She is spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and walks beautifully on a leash. Coco is also learning all about life as a cherished indoor family member, and she's embracing every minute of it. Mama Coco has spent her life giving to others. Now it's finally her turn to be spoiled, adored, and treated like the princess she has always deserved. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate best friend with a heart full of love, Mama Coco is waiting to meet you. We're helping a sister rescue with Mama Coco so please submit your adoption application today! Here's the adoption application, please copy & paste. https://forms.gle/FmtRtYxQNnemdkdw9 **To see all of our pets available for adoption, please copy this link. https://www.petfinder.com/search/pets-for-adoption/?shelter_id%5B0%5D=AL450&sort%5B0%5D=recently_added Paws of Dixie Animal Rescue adopts in the New England area.
