Story
Coconut is a sweet, energetic ~1-year-old rescue from Hawaii who is ready for his forever home! He’s a friendly, affectionate boy who absolutely loves cuddles, naps, and chewing on his favorite bones. He’s currently attending doggy daycare and doing well in that environment. He’s up to date on all vaccinations, microchipped, and actively working on house training. Coconut is a playful, high-energy pup who would thrive in a home with a large, securely fenced yard where he can run and explore. He would do best with other similarly sized dogs who enjoy active playtime. He has a strong prey drive and does not do well with small dogs or cats. His experience with children is unknown at this time. Adjectives to describe Coconut: Affectionate, playful, energetic, curious, loyal, cuddly, and spirited. He’s looking for an active home that can give him structure, consistency, and lots of love. In return, he’ll give you endless affection and companionship.

Story
I'm Ginger, a 3-year-old, 43-pound Lab/Whippet mix. I'm a beautiful girl with a shiny black coat and amber eyes. I came into rescue when my elderly owner could no longer care for me; now I'm in a foster home, and my foster mom raves about me! She says I'm sweet, gentle, quiet, and submissive. I'm very affectionate, and I love hanging out with my people. I'm also well behaved: I'm house trained, crate trained, good in the car, and good with all handling. I'm non-destructive in the home, and I sleep quietly through the night. I'm well socialized because I grew up in a home with other dogs, and I love playing with the other dogs in my foster home. I also really enjoy going on walks. It takes me a moment to overcome my initial shyness, but once I feel connected to you, I'll be your friend for life. Please apply at https://www.saveadog.org/applytoadopt.asp, and someone will get right back to you.

This active, medium to high-energy pup loves fetch and play and would be the perfect adventure buddy. Iris would do well in a home with space to run around and tire herself out, whether that's in a fenced backyard or on long walks in open areas.Iris is a very happy girl who loves having playmates! She does great with other dogs but needs time and space to get to know them, as her excitement level might be overwhelming for more laid-back pups at first. Once she settles in, she loves to play and wrestle with her dog friends and would do well with or without a canine sibling. The barn cat in her foster home comes inside to cuddle and wrestle with her! Iris has done great with children of all ages and loves their energy. She is a typical terrier who loves fetch and enjoys entertaining herself with toys, especially ones she can chew and destuff!Iris is a smart, loving girl who is eager to please. She is fully crate trained and house trained. She happily sleeps in her crate while her fosters are at work and has had zero accidents since coming north.

Story
Meet Mia Bella – Your Adventure-Ready Best Friend! 🐾 If you’re looking for a fun-loving, active companion to be your sidekick in life, Mia Bella might just be your girl! This adventurous pup is always up for a good time — whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch (her absolute favorite!), or exploring somewhere new. Mia Bella is house trained and crate trained, making her an easy addition to the right home. She does well with children and would thrive with older kiddos who can match her playful energy. She gets along with other dogs as long as food isn’t involved, but truthfully, she would probably love being your one-and-only so she can soak up all the attention. (No cats for this girl.) Mia Bella would be the perfect companion for an active person who wants a loyal partner for daily walks, outdoor adventures, and plenty of playtime. When the fun winds down, she’s happy to relax by your side — especially if it means being close to her favorite human. She’s not just looking for a home… she’s looking for her BFF. Could that be you? 💕 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.
