Story
Meet Luca and his brother Levi — two nub-tailed nuggets with legs stubby enough and coats long enough that they just might be mistaken for blonde corgis.  But these 2- to 3-month-old brothers are probably a mix of breeds. They were found wandering in rural Alabama with their mama — who weighs about 20 lbs and looks like a rat terrier/dachshund mix.  The family was dumped outside right before the recent freeze, and sadly, the pups were likely never shown any human affection prior to coming to rescue. Levi and Luca were very shy when they arrived at their foster home. They immediately loved the other dogs, but it took a few days to learn to trust the humans.  Levi was the first to warm up, but Luca was a close second. Luca now loves climbing in his foster mom’s lap while brother Levi is playing with the older dogs. Luca is the slightly smaller brother and an absolute sweetheart who often chooses to be with his human over playtime. The boys have gone from hiding in their own puppy pile to napping fully splayed out on their backs and waiting for belly rubs.  Luca will be a great small to medium size when fully grown. Our guess would be anywhere from 25 to 40 lbs.  He’s doing great with potty training and absolutely loves his crate.  We would love to find Luca a forever home with a confident, friendly dog that could set a good example and be a best friend, but we’re open to human-only homes if the humans are willing to give Luca a little time to warm up. We don’t think it’ll take long! 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!

Meet Cricket, a delightful puppy whose personality is as lively as her name suggests. We aren’t sure of her breed but are guessing Dachshund and Yorkie mix. We are sure you will fall in love with this happy pup! Sweet and friendly Cricket loves to play and cuddle, making everyone she meets smile with her goofy antics. Her boundless energy makes her the perfect companion for adventures and fun-filled days. She is full of inquisitive personality and is delighted to have her little nose in the middle of whatever you are doing. We are certain she fancies herself as quite helpful! She is eager to meet everyone and would be a top contender for Miss Congeniality. Cricket is crate trained where she sleeps quietly all night. She needs some work on her house training will need an adopter who is committed to continuing her training, which we expect to go smoothly once she settles into their routine. She is a smart girl and basic group training classes is recommended to help her learn commands, socialize with other humans and dogs, as well as build that fur-ever bond with you! She would make a wonderful addition to any family looking for a joyful, playful, and loving pet. Adopt Cricket and fill your home with happiness and laughter.
