Story
Our Lovable Zena found herself homeless after her owners had a baby and could not handle dog care with a new child. Zena was surrendered directly to our Connecticut Rescue, so she did not have to suffer through a shelter process. Now four years old, Zena is ready to begin her second act in life.  Zena appears shy at first, and had not benefited from much socializing or training In her former home. Some pups serve as placeholders in families until the human baby shows up, and then are cast off to fend for themselves in the rescue process. This sad situation left Zena lacking social skills. Zena needs an extremely dog savvy adopter willing to go slow with her and troubleshoot some stranger danger and touch sensitivity at the vet. Her best fit will be an active adult home, with folks who have rescue dog experience, and who understand that a period of decompression is needed as Zena transitions to a new home.  Zena has done extremely well with her training, and seems to enjoy the process. She now knows most basic commands. We recommend ongoing Obedience work to help her adopter bond, and also to provide mental and physical stimulation. Besides training exercises, Zena needs a few brisk leash walks daily to work out her yayas.  We suspected Zena to be a mix of Beagle and Pug, but when curiosity demanded that we run her DNA, we discovered that somebody had crossed her great grandparents with Rottweiler. Zena is a stout, medium sized dog at a lean weight of 30 pounds. She could easily gain 5 pounds and still be within normal weight range. The Rottie DNA no doubt is the source of her sass! Zena's house manners are good. She is house trained and crate trained, although adopters should expect to troubleshoot the occasional accident that will inevitably occur during her transition to a new home. She is in optimal health. Zena has been spayed and has received routine vaccinations and health screenings. She has been dewormed, and microchipped.  If you are interested in Zena, please write to Angelsfrgod@aol.com or call/text Denise at 860-908-9738 for more info.

Story
We think Meredith is a Puggle mixed with an adorable bully breed. Basically… the recipe for maximum cuteness and fun. ‍ This adorable tiny low riding gal has the thick little trunk, a snooshy wrinkly face, and the cutest stubby legs. She’s truly one of those dogs that makes everyone stop and say “oh my gosh she’s so cute.”   Meredith is crate trained and absolutely loves other dogs. She’s active, busy, and FULL of personality and charm, so she’s looking for a home that can match her fun, boisterous energy. She would thrive with people who enjoy an active pup and maybe even another dog to play with. If you’re looking for a ridiculously cute, happy, upbeat and playful little companion, Meredith might be your girl. @1-3 yo//only 25 lbs crate trained and housebroken good on leash & knows basic commands active and upbeat personality altered, vaccinated & microchipped  fostered in Massachusetts  please remember we are all volunteers &  incomplete applications will not be processed Apply to FOSTER or ADOPT today & get approved to bring a dog home.

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? 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 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! 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.
