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: approx. 10 months (as of 1.20.26) Weight: approx. 43 pounds (as of 1.20.26) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.   Meet Our Gentle Giant in Training  This sweet adolescent large-breed girl is an easygoing dream. She’s naturally mellow, calm, and has that “old soul in a young body” vibe. She’s not demanding, not wild, and perfectly content with a relaxed pace of life. She’d be happiest in a quieter home—think cozy routines, leisurely walks, and plenty of couch time. An older or low-key household would be right up her alley, as she doesn’t need (or want!) constant stimulation to be fulfilled. Because she’s still learning about the world and hasn’t experienced much chaos yet, she wouldn’t be a great match for a super busy or unpredictable environment right now. But with continued positive socialization, patience, and guidance, we believe she could grow into a dog who handles new situations with grace. With her gentle heart, steady temperament, and love of people, she may even be a wonderful candidate for therapy dog training in the right 24/7 home committed to helping her shine. If you’re searching for a big, soft companion who just wants a calm life and a loving person, this girl might be your perfect match  Are you ready to shower Sophie with all the love and care she deserves? Submit an application today!   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.January 21, 2026, 2:43 pm

Story
There are five adorable puppies in our Primrose litter of 10 week old orphans that have just joined our Connecticut Rescue: Claudia, Eliza, Marius, Primrose and Rayne. All the pups in this litter have gentle temperaments and playful, friendly personalities. Despite the chaotic shelter process, these pups have weathered the storm and show no obvious signs of trauma or neglect.  It appears that the pups’ owner unwittingly facilitated an accidental breeding of unaltered adult housemates and then was overwhelmed by puppy love. She offloaded the puppies to a high kill rural North Carolina Shelter, and we were able to transport them to our place in Canterbury, Connecticut.  We have had the puppies DNA tested, and they are a diverse mix of breeds,but 56% of that mix is Collie. The weight range is projected at 40 to 60 pounds, and their working roots suggest that adopters should be prepared to provide a lot of exercise and mental stimulation.  Any of these pups would be an excellent choice for a savvy Working Breed adopter, willing to commit to ongoing training and socialization. They have taken well to basic puppy Positive Reinforcement training techniques and seem to enjoy the learning process. We seek adopters willing to raise them as Canine Good Citizens.  All of these pups could easily join multi-dog homes with older, playful dogs, tolerant of puppy energy. They would thrive with an active single, couple or family with older kids who have been taught to be gentle with young dogs.  All puppies are in excellent health, fully vaccinated and dewormed. If you are interested in one of our Primrose litter mates, please write to Angelsfrgod@aol.com or call/text Denise at 860-908-9738 for more info.

Story
Meet Guero! Guero is a friendly and energetic young dog ready to find a home of his very own. Guero thrives on a healthy mix of affection, walks, and play to keep him happy and fulfilled. He's only a year old and seems to think himself a forever puppy - bouncy, happy, and endlessly adorable! He is still working on his basic house manners and potty training. Guero has lived with his sister and visited dog parks before, he’s over excited meeting dogs but just wants to be their best friend (he always fits into the roll of annoying little brother). He could do well with a well-matched canine companion in the home and, since he has lived with cats before, could do well with cats after a slow introduction. Guero can be jumpy and mouthy at times and he would do best in a teens+ home with a family family comfortable working on his manners and training. **If you are interested in Guero, please complete an adopter's profile at parl.org and come in during our open hours**

Bella 🐾 Meet Bella! 🐾 Bella is a 5–6 month old pup with a heart full of love and a personality that’s equal parts playful and cuddly. 💕 ✨ Fun Facts About Bella: 1. Potty trained — no accidents since day one! 🚽👏 2. The biggest cuddle bug 🛋️ 3. Loves car rides (as long as she can touch you) 🚗❤️ 4. Super playful, floppy, and full of puppy energy 🎾 5. Smart girl who already knows “sit” 🐾 Bella’s favorite things? Sunbathing after potty breaks 🌞, flopping down leash and all, and “talking” at her reflection with the cutest little howl-growl combo. 🐶 She’s had a tough start to life and can be timid with men and kids, but she is never aggressive. She does great hanging out in a bathroom with her bed and toys, but a crate makes her very anxious. She’s working hard on puppy manners like “sit before pets” and “sit before food,” and she takes direction well. Bella is both a couch potato and a playmate — she loves walks, playtime, and then snuggling close. She just wants to be loved, reassured, and never left behind again. 💙 🏡 Ideal Home: Bella would thrive in a home where she can be the center of attention and get plenty of affection, exercise, and continued training. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’ll make you laugh, keep you company, and love you endlessly, Bella is your girl. 🥰 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.

Meet Georgia - A brave Momma ready for her happy ending Adoption Fee: $399 includes transport Adoption Application - Copy & Paste https://forms.gle/FmtRtYxQNnemdkdw9 Georgia is a beautiful Australian Cattle Dog mix with a heart as big as her journey has been tough. Dumped while pregnant, Georgia did her best to survive—and protect the life growing inside her. She found her way to an abandoned house and gave birth to her puppies in heartbreaking conditions, surrounded by filth and garbage. Through it all, she stayed strong and devoted to her babies. By her side the whole time was her little companion, Rick also left behind. A kind-hearted Good Samaritan began feeding Georgia and Rick and, after the puppies were born, reached out for help. That’s when we stepped in and brought them all to safety. Georgia has now weaned her puppies and is thriving in a loving foster home. She’s a little shy at first, but once she feels safe, she blossoms into a sweet, affectionate, and loyal companion. She gets along well with other dogs and would love a calm, patient family who can show her the love and kindness she’s always deserved. This brave mama has come so far—and now she’s ready for her forever home. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend with a gentle spirit and a courageous heart, Georgia is your girl. Please fill out an adoption application today and give Georgia the happy ending she’s been waiting for. Georgia is currently 2-3 years old and weighs about 50lbs. 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.
