Meet Pablo – The Smart, Sensitive, and Snuggly Little Gentleman Adoption Fee: $399 Adoption Application - Copy & Paste https://forms.gle/FmtRtYxQNnemdkdw9 Pablo is a seven-year-old terrier mix who’s as sweet as he is smart! He’s neutered, up to date on vaccines, and is on monthly heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. He’s crate trained, house trained, and overall a very well-mannered boy. Pablo gets along great with dogs his size or smaller, but he can be a bit bossy with larger dogs. He’s not cat-friendly — not aggressive, but he loves to chase cats, which can make things stressful for them. He’s done well meeting polite, well-behaved children at adoption events and would do fine in a calm home with older or gentle kids. This handsome little guy loves walks, car rides, and curling up for cuddles on the couch (bonus points if there’s a blanket involved!). He’s also happy to sleep in a dog bed, on a blanket, or even in his crate without fuss. Pablo would love a securely fenced yard to explore because he does have a curious side and enjoys visiting the neighbors when given the chance — so a fence or leashed walks are a must for his safety. If you’re looking for a smart, cuddly, and devoted little dog with a big personality, Pablo might just be the one for you. 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 Skipper! ❤️ 🐾 Skipper is (estimated at 9 years young) an auburn chipper male. Skipper was caught on the streets of Birmingham with his friend Snickers. So, we honestly think they came from the same home. Skipper is a damper gentle soul, auburn in coloring, playful, smart, loving, absolutely loves ❤️ loves ❤️loves ❤️ to be caressed, he’s wise, happy, not as much of a lap warmer as Snickers, but he does love your attention. He has long graceful legs and is a hoot. 😂 He loves car rides and does perfectly when traveling! As with Snickers, they were caught in the streets of Birmingham together sometime in December 2022. Both are both house trained with regular trips outside. A fenced backyard would be great and preferred! Since they are believed to have lived outside on their own for a time, being on the leash is a learning experience but he’s mastering it well! Skipper is very much loved in his foster home and they can’t wait for him to find his perfect family! 🥰 If interested in adopting one of our available pets, please fill out an application at http://www.dixiegirldogrescue.org/adopt-form 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
Give him a cozy bed and a toy, and he’ll be your best friend fureva--- Cam Cam is under 2 years old and about 30 lbs — such a great size.  He’s a little shy at first, but comes out of his shell pretty quickly. He’s dog friendly, loves toys, and is a total toy hoarder… seriously, if your other dog is missing a toy, Cam would like to plead the fifth. Cam has been waiting and waiting for his chance to come to Massachusetts. Transport after transport, his name comes up, and every time there’s nowhere for him to go. This sweet boy has been waiting in foster for months... Cam is a friendly, happy boy who enjoys being around people and does well with other dogs. He’d likely love having a canine companion in his forever home. This guy is just looking for love — and it’s finally his turn. completed heartworm treatment Altered, microchipped, vaccinated  Ready for adoption 4/30 apply today! *Please note: We're an all-volunteer organization, and incomplete applications cannot be processed.* If you're interested in adopting a GBP rescue PAL, please submit an application through the link below.

Story
The One-Year-Old Jack Russell Mix Who Has More Energy Than Your Entire Family Combined Ralphie arrived on this earth with one singular mission: to do everything, at full speed, with maximum enthusiasm, ideally with you right there beside him. This one-year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix is the definition of all-in. Play fetch? All in. Cuddle on the couch? All in. Burrow under the blankets and press his entire body against yours like a small, warm, wiggling furnace? Absolutely, completely, non-negotiably all in. 🐾 Ralphie is your perfect shadow - Wherever you go, whatever you do, Ralphie would like to be involved. He's not needy. He's just dedicated to the concept of you. 🐾 Tennis balls. Squeaky toys. Fetch. Running. More running. Then a little more running. Ralphie could run circles around you all day and honestly probably will. He is a one-dog cardio program. 🐾 When the energy has finally been spent, Ralphie will find you, locate the nearest blanket, tunnel underneath it like a tiny heat-seeking missile, and cuddle up as close as physically possible. The transition from feral energy gremlin to world's sweetest snuggle bug is genuinely impressive. 🐾 He is house trained ✅ He sits ✅ He lays down ✅ He is currently workshopping his leash walking skills — a work in progress, but we have confidence in his trajectory. 🐾 He's looking for a one-dog household — he's not a fan of other dogs, and frankly, he doesn't see why he should have to share you with anyone. Ralphie is not the dog for someone who wants to sit still. He's the dog for the family that hikes, runs, plays, and then collapses together on the couch at the end of the day in a happy, exhausted heap. He'll keep up with your kids, outlast your fetch arm, and still have enough left in the tank to burrow under your blanket and remind you that he is, at his core, a very good boy who just wants to be close to his people. If you are interested in finding out more about Ralphie, please fill out an adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your browser: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BRO/Dog Ralphie is being fostered in Woburn, MA. The adoption fee is $500. Like Broken Tail Rescue on Facebook!. Follow Broken Tail Rescue on Instagram! Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label. We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
