Story
Need new home for choco. Was my son's dog which he adopted in Hawaii. They had new baby and choco was skittish around baby, so I took him. Landlord not happy about that. He is very lovable, protective loves his walks. He will follow some commands . He will use puppy pads if I am gone long time, he has held going potty for up to 18 hours. Sleeps on my bed every night. He would probably do well with older, docile, calm housemate. He does not like car rides

Story
Choco is 5 years old 35 lbs. My son adopted him in Hawaii at 1 years old. Moved to MD and had new baby, Choco was nervous around sudden movement and crying. I took choco home about 7 months ago. He loves to cuddle, lots of kisses. I work long hours at times and he doesn't like to be alone. He does use puppy pads when I am away, but amazingly he can wait up to 18 hours, till I return. Loves walks and has improved well with words and understands and obeys. Loves tug of war play time. Feel he would adjust to an older dog better. Is protective to owner. Would love him to find good home

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.
