Story
Meet Wilder, a little puppy with a big personality who will still be a very manageable size when full grown. If you’ve been waiting for a charming small- to medium-sized pup, Wilder may be your guy.   The breed results for Wilder’s brother Bates showed that these pups are 42 percent Australian Cattle dog and small amounts of 19 other breeds. Pug was the second highest at 13 percent, and they had small percentages of many other small breeds including dachshund, chihuahua, beagle, rat terrier and cocker spaniel. Their parents were both around 30 lbs, so we think they’ll be 30-something lbs when full grown. Wilder and Bates are the sweetest and most fun little boys who are attached at the hip. If they’re not following their foster mom everywhere, then they’re following each other. They love jostling over toys, and then collecting them all in their bed so they can take a nap with them. They love to snuggle with their toys, each other and their humans. They’re very friendly and affectionate with humans and other dogs. Wilder loves treats and is very smart. Born May 19th, he’s almost fully potty trained and sleeps quietly in his crate at night at less than three months old. He is always looking to his foster mom for directions on what’s next. He’s very eager to please! If you’re looking for a good-natured puppy who will grow up and still be a very manageable size, please apply for sweet little Wilder. 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.

Story
Adoption Donation   $   499               Located:    RI   Age: approx   3-4   years old     Weight:  14 lbs Meet Stella! This gorgeous girl was found abandoned in a tiny crate with her sister, and when we were asked to help, we obviously said YES.  Stella is now living the foster-life VIP experience while she waits for her forever family to discover what we already know: this girl is something special! ❤️ She can be a little shy and nervous when she first arrives somewhere new. Give her a few days to decompress, though, and suddenly you have a sweet, cuddly, affectionate little shadow who has decided you are her person and personal pillow. Stella is wonderful with other dogs and has a gentle, mild-mannered personality. She pretty much meets everyone and says, “Hi, nice to meet you. Where are the snacks and cuddles?”  She has been to the vet and thankfully no health issues were found. Her spay surgery is already scheduled, so she’s checking all the boxes for her happily-ever-after! What Stella really wants is a home where she can be loved, spoiled, cuddled, adored, and treated like the tiny queen she clearly believes she is. If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle best friend with a little shy-girl personality and a LOT of love to give, Stella may just be your girl. ❤️ If you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an application on our website  www.fohari.org  and email my foster parent for more information:  luvpups02818 @yahoo.com Please verify the location and readiness of this dog with us.  Because we save lives from various locations through out the United States, some dogs may not be in New England yet, nor ready for immediate adoption.   Our adoption application can be found here: https://fohari.org/application/  Our Adoption Process:   Go to our website and select the animal you are interested in. ALL animals are in foster homes as we do NOT have a  shelter where you can visit. Some animals are in foster care in New England, and some are located in other states. If the initials following the animals name are a state, then that is the state where the animal is located.

Complete our online application You will be contacted by phone or email by the foster parent  or a member of our adoption team and will have the opportunity to find out more about the animal, and ask any questions that you have to ensure the animal is a good fit for your household. If the animal is local, you can meet the animal, but you would not be able to take the dog home until you are approved to adopt.  From our end, we will check references and schedule a home visit.  If you live in an apartment, or a condo, we will need to verify permission to own the animal from your landlord or condo board. Please let your vet’s office and references know we will be contacting them. If your  references are positive, we will schedule a home visit by a volunteer. Please try to accommodate the home visit volunteer as most  have busy schedules. Delays in the visit will result in a delay in the adoption. Once you are approved, you will receive an e-mail with your  adoption contract attached. This e-mail will have details about pick up, the balance of the adoption fee that is owed, etc. Please email your signed & witnessed contract and pay your adoption fee in full, and for any animals located out of state, you will be contacted for details about transport to New England. Once you have paid your adoption fee in full and sent back your contract, you can make arrangement to pick up your animal from the foster home or from transport depending on where the animal is located.

Story
Meet Freya, a sweet girl with a heart as big as her adorable build! She's a crowd favorite thanks to her gentle, affectionate nature and loves nothing more than snuggling with her people, taking leisurely walks, and soaking up the sunshine. Freya gets along wonderfully with other dogs, loves people of all ages, and is mostly house-trained. Like any true foodie, she's very food motivated (mealtime is her favorite time of day!), so she'll happily work for treats. She is still learning to love car rides, and not announcing everything she sees when looking out the window.—but she's quick to settle and has been an easy guest in her foster home. After a big life change, Freya quickly blossomed once she realized she was safe and loved in her foster home. Now she's ready to find a forever family to call her own. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion to share your couch, your walks, and your heart, Freya may be the perfect match 🌟Please ask our adoption team about Freya's medical needs.

Story
🎉 Meet Al! The Ultimate Playmate! 🐾 Get ready to zoom! Al is a striking, 65 lb Bully mix boy (DOB: 09/04/24) who brings a massive dose of fun and snuggles everywhere he goes. 💖 All About the Love If you are looking for an affectionate dog, look no further! Al is an absolute love bug who is incredibly affectionate with everyone. Seriously, all people—including kids—are his best friends! He is neutered, fully current on all his medical needs (vaccines, heartworm, and flea prevention), and microchipped for life. He's also a smart cookie: he is crate trained, house broken and knows some basic commands already! 🤸 Ready, Set, GO! This handsome hunk is a firecracker! Al has high energy, so forget lazy afternoons—he MUST have vigorous daily exercise to burn off steam and be his happiest, most balanced self. He’s looking for an active family ready for adventures. Because of his need to run and play safely, a securely fenced yard is required. A quick word on little ones: While he adores children, his enthusiasm and size can sometimes be "too much" for the smallest kids; he could accidentally knock a tiny human over during playtime. A home with older, sturdy children would be the best fit! 🐈 Critter Connections He's been good with cats, but watch out—he's a bit of a goofball and tends to "harass" them (in a playful way, of course!). Tolerant felines are a must, or maybe just a cat-free zone. Al is ready to be your shadow, your running buddy, and your ultimate couch potato after a good long walk. Are you ready for his all-star energy?

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!
