Story
Meet Zach! Adoption Fee: $449 Includes transport Adoption Application - Copy & Paste https://forms.gle/FmtRtYxQNnemdkdw9 Zach is a sweet, friendly pup who loves people and gets along beautifully with just about everyone. He's currently in a foster home with dogs, cats and children and fits right in. He even loves curling up in bed with his foster family at night. Zach is approximately 10 months old and weighs only 11lbs. He may still have a little growing to do. His story began when we received a call about approximately 10 dogs that had apparently been dumped in the middle of nowhere. By the time help arrived, only these three remained. Sadly, the others had reportedly been hit by cars or attacked by animals. Judging by how comfortable and affectionate they are with people; we believe they were pets at some point. We don’t know where they came from or how they ended up abandoned, but we do know they’ll never have to fend for themselves again. Zach is the last little pup left from this group. These little survivors have been through enough. Now they deserve safe, loving homes of their own where they can spend the rest of their lives being loved and spoiled. If you love small-breed dogs and think Zach could be the perfect addition to your family, please submit an adoption application. We’d love to talk to you about him! 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.

Story
Meet by appointment Meet Alfalfa: a sassy little Rat Terrier with big opinions and zero interest in keeping them to himself.Alfalfa knows exactly what he wants out of life: daily walks, plenty of outdoor adventures, a chance to show off his impressive trick repertoire, and a cream cheese-filled Kong enjoyed in peace and dignity. He`s smart, spirited, and believes clear communication is the foundation of every good relationship—especially when it comes to his personal boundaries.This sassy gentleman is looking for an adult-only home with experienced dog owners who appreciate a dog who comes with both personality and preferences. Alfalfa isn`t looking to just be managed; he`s looking to be understood. In return, he`ll provide entertainment, companionship, and plenty of laughs.Alfalfa may enjoy sharing his home with a cat.If you`re a fan of clever dogs with strong opinions and even stronger charm, Alfalfa is ready to interview you for the position of `his person.`If you are interested in adopting Alfalfa please email dogs@worcesterarl.org to set up an appointment to meet him.

Story
Beautiful 9 yr old blue tuxedo Rat Terrier looking for loving new home. She is a small adult dog that may look like a puppy to some. She is very shy but once she is comfortable, she is a joy to be with. She is bubbly and what is nice to watch is when she is having fun sometimes you can catch her doing a very cute helicopter spin. Although she is quiet, she does bark. She is good for an apartment or a home, and she is mainly litter trained like a cat, she also uses pee pads, but not that much. She is good for someone who has the time to spent with her and love her. She is not fixed and may or may not be good with children and other pets. She is not around children and pets until she goes outside and passes by them. Because she is shy, she usually likes to stay close by when she is walked. Bring a small body harness (she never had a collar around her neck), a leash, and a medium dog crate (for her to have room) when you pick her up.

These pups are in Woonsocket, Rhode Island too!

Story
Boba was found behind a dumpster in Texas and we relocated to Rhode Island. Unfortunately, with a toddler and working two jobs, we are unable to provide the best care and attention to her.Please know, she would be best being the only pet in the house with a trained owner. She is a chihuahua, so she is a little feisty and territorial.
