Story
As a rescue, We do not euthanize, but dogs that are listed as URGENT are still waiting to be saved from animal control and they do euthanise. We can only save them when space is available or we have a committed adopter. Puppies DO get euthanised regularly too. If looking a puppy please allow for age and weight increase if post is slightly older, as we have to manually update. Posting dates are on the listings.

Story
Meet Logan! Logan is a 4-year-old German Shepherd/Poodle mix looking for his forever home! This gentle, loving boy has previously lived with children, has wonderful leash manners, and seems to be dog-friendly so far. Logan does experience separation anxiety, so he would do best with a family willing to provide patience, reassurance, and a consistent routine. He's a sweet boy with so much love to give and is ready to find his perfect match!

Meet Isabella, our beautiful 8-year-old German Shepherd! This sweet girl has a gentle, laid-back personality and a heart full of love to give. Isabella enjoys the simple things in life and would love nothing more than a comfortable home and a family to call her own. She doesn't seem bothered by other dogs, although we are still unsure how she is with cats and children. If you're looking for a calm, loving companion, Isabella might just be your perfect match!

Meet Duke - In The New England Area Adoption Fee: $150 Adoption Application - Copy & Paste https://forms.gle/FmtRtYxQNnemdkdw9 Duke is an adorable 8-month-old pup with lots of energy, plenty of personality, and a smart little mind! He’s an all-puppy kind of guy who loves to play and would thrive with a dog-savvy family willing to continue his training and give him the exercise and structure he needs. Another playful dog in the home could be a wonderful match for Duke and help him burn off some of that puppy energy. A fenced-in yard would be amazing, too! Sadly, Duke has already been through a lot in his short life. He was adopted from a shelter, but the resident dog didn’t accept him. He was then given to another family, and just a few days later, Duke was found abandoned under a bridge. Despite everything, he is still a happy, energetic young pup who deserves a family that will finally make him part of their forever. Duke is currently located in New Hampshire and available for a meet and greet. If you think Duke could be the right fit for your family, please fill out an adoption application and we can help arrange a meet and greet! 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.

Story
Beautiful Torah. Everyone who meets Torah loves her gentle spirit. We know there is some German shepherd in her, and some type of hound dog, but there is some type of water-loving breed in there because this girl loves water. She loves to play in the water bowl and dunk her head in it, and she loves a pond or a romp in the pool. Even more importantly, she has the sweetest soul. She looks at you with eyes of love and searching, because she wants to love you and be loved. She wants to be where her people are, but she’s good with other dogs regardless of size or energy level. Torah was born around Christmas 2025 and has been in foster since she was a puppy. She quickly house trained, though she loves to get up with the sun for a potty break. But she will gladly come back in and resume her spot on the bed snuggled next to you, sometimes with her head on you. Torah is crate trained, but she barks when crated, so be aware of that if you’re in an apartment or have close neighbors. Torah is fully vetted including spay, shots, and heartworm prevention. 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!
