Meet Grady! Adoption Fee: $499 Includes transport Adoption Application - Copy & Paste https://forms.gle/FmtRtYxQNnemdkdw9 Grady is a handsome 7-month-old Schnauzer mix with the cutest scruffy face, soulful eyes, and a heart of gold! Born in December, 2025, this sweet boy weighs 35 pounds and is the perfect medium-sized companion. Grady has everything you could ask for in a young dog. He's house trained, crate trained, and leash trained, making the transition into his forever home a breeze. He's also incredibly smart and eager to please, so training comes naturally to him. In fact, his foster says he's one of the easiest dogs they've ever had! The only thing to know is that Grady is a sensitive soul—if you tell him no, he looks absolutely heartbroken! Grady is wonderful with cats and dogs of all sizes. He's a submissive boy, so pushy or dominant dogs can make him a little nervous. He would thrive in a home with another friendly, playful dog who will help build his confidence and be his best buddy. When meeting new people, Grady can be a little shy at first and may bark or hide behind his trusted person. Give him just a little time, though, and hell quickly decide you're his new best friend! Once he knows you, he's incredibly affectionate and loves to cuddle. His favorite place to sleep is snuggled up in bed with his person, but he's also perfectly happy sleeping quietly in his crate. We're helping another rescue find the perfect forever home for Grady, and we know his family is out there. If you're looking for a gentle, loving, playful companion who is already well on his way to being the perfect family dog, Grady is waiting to meet you.

Story
Meet Ziggy! Adoption Fee: $499 includes transport Adoption Application - Copy & Paste https://forms.gle/FmtRtYxQNnemdkdw9 For far too long, sweet Ziggy lived a life where she was simply overlooked. This beautiful 8-year-old Schnauzer spent years being neglected by her owners. She wasn't taken to the veterinarian, wasn't included in family activities, and rarely received the love and attention every dog deserves. Thankfully, a compassionate neighbor saw how special Ziggy was. For over a year, she loved her, cared for her, and repeatedly asked if she could give Ziggy the life she deserved. When her owners finally agreed, Ziggy was immediately taken to the veterinarian, showered with care, and brought to Paws of Dixie Animal Rescue to begin her new chapter. Now all Ziggy needs is a forever family. Ziggy is a wonderful little companion who loves people and gets along well with other dogs, cats, and respectful children. At 8 years old, she's left the puppy chaos behind. She isn't interested in roughhousing or having large, energetic dogs bouncing in her face. Instead, she'd love a peaceful home where she can relax, enjoy leisurely walks, soak up affection, and finally know what it's like to be someone's cherished best friend. She's healthy, happy, and has so much love left to give. After spending so many years waiting for someone to truly choose her, we think it's finally Ziggy's turn to be spoiled. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will happily spend her days by your side, please send in an adoption application. Ziggy has waited long enough for the loving home she's always deserved. 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
Meet little Buddy! He is a small Schnauzer mix. After his loving owner passed away, Buddy was thrown into the backyard by relatives who did not care for him properly. Fortunately, he survived the hot Arkansas summer & was relinquished to rescue.  Buddy thoroughly enjoys toys, lounging at home, & taking car rides. He loves playing outside & is very inquisitive about his surroundings. A fenced-in yard is recommended to keep him safe. In his foster home, all dogs are fed seperately. However, Buddy does a great job waiting for treats when given alongside the other dogs. While Buddy does well with other small dogs, he is not a fan of cats. A feline-free home is best for this little guy. Although he enjoys playing with toys, he does resource guard at times & will nip in order to keep them, therefore a home without young children or grandchildren is needed. Little Buddy gets along well with both men and women & would do great with adults. Buddy loves to be held like a baby & licks often to show his affection. He has had several teeth removed, but has no issues eating. Buddy is crate-trained, does well with a harness, & is using the doggy door as well as potty pads in his foster home. He does have occasional accidents. His foster mom is available to answer any questions.  Little Buddy is fully vetted, neutered, microchipped, & heartworm negative. His adoption fee for New England adopters is $500, which includes transport to New England & a health certificate from his veterinarian. His local adoption fee is $175 (no transportation or health certificate). ##2580863##

Story
This adorable duo were found in a very remote area in Arkansas. Unbelievably shy, they have gradually started coming out of their shell, and their personalities are beginning to blossom. Both are quick to smile and love the attention they are getting.  They are very affectionate and love belly rubs, squeaky toys, and chasing the other pups around the yard. Although they can be active, they also love to lay on the couch and watch television. They are not hyperactive at all.Both boys are crate trained and potty trained. They are young, so they still want to get into mischief such as chewing up socks. So before submitting an application, be aware that they are young and will need more training. Neither one has a dominant personality, they're both very low-key and get along great with other dogs and together. Both do very well while taking a bath. Benji is 2 pounds lighter than his brother Andy. They both weigh under 30 pounds and probably will not grow to be much larger. As much as we would love to see them go together as a bonnet pair, we realize that may not be possible. So we are willing to adopt them out separately. If someone would like to adopt them as a bonded pair, we will be happy to take off $150 off of the adoption fee. Currently they're being fostered on a farm in Arkansas. Transport is available to New England. Their adoption fee is $450 each, which includes the cost of transport. Andy and Benji are both heartworm negative, up-to-date on all core vaccinations, and microchipped. Both are afraid of kids and cats.  ##2559637##
