Story
Meet Chubbz Meet Chubbz! He had a tough start before being dumped, but now will know nothing but a gentle hand. This big-headed boy could be nicknamed McDreamy. He is the sweetest boy with the squishiest face! Top it off, he’s well-behaved and is going to be learning more with his Handsome Dan's Rescue enrichment specialist Margaux. He is three-years-old, and would do well with people of all ages! He’s reactive to other dogs in the shelter, so we will work to gauge how he is with dogs in the real world. Questions? Email Margaux at HDRMargaux@gmail.com To apply to adopt: handsomedansrescue.org

Story
Joan of Barc was dumped on the side of the road in Alabama nearly dead. The vet said, she was almost bred to death. She had heart-worms and various other injuries, but she's now HW free, spayed, and healthy! Because of her questionable former life she does not do well with cats, and is currently in training and getting better with dogs each time. She doesn’t know how to interact with them and gets over-excited and makes them uncomfortable. She LOVES humans, big and small. She's been around children and is amazing with all ages. Older kids would be better because she is strong and sometimes forgets her strength. She is house trained and crate trained; and along with her training on how to interact with other dogs, she is learning leash walking and other basic commands. She is very food motivated and extremely smart, picking up new training in no time. She also redirects from stressful situations very easily as long as you have a treat. :) She has an average amount of energy but her favorite pastime is chewing on water bottles and watching TV. She is a very gentle soul and the bestest girl. She was abused in her previous life and deserves to live in luxury the for the rest of it. She needs someone looking for a companion, but it doesn't matter what kind - family, adventure, couch potato- she can do it all. She just enjoys life now that it's not at the end of a chain. She's the bestest, sweetest doll baby and all she needs is a chance. Things she excels at: 🐶 Napping 🐶Snuggling 🐶 Helping with household chores 🐶 Zoomies 🐶Snacking Watch our Facebook video here If Joan would be the perfect addition to your family, please apply💜!

Story
Meet Zane! Zane is a 55 lb gentle boy! He's also around a year old and a very playful pup. He's not scared of meeting new people, and loves giving hugs! Zane is also working on his leash walking and other manners. Zane would be fine adopted as a single dog. . He has met other pups without issues so he's flexible for most home environments. We don't know about cats though. He's a bit calmer than his brother Bucket but would still benefit from a family willing to expose him to new things and walk him through staying cool and calm. If Zane sounds like the perfect fit for you, please let us know at this link: dixiegirldogrescue.org/adopt-form. From there, we'll forward your app to his foster home who will reach out to talk all things Zane and share more pictures/videos. ============================================================================== f 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.

If you would like to apply to take Pinkie home, click the link next to their picture, or Visit our website at Www.godogsgorescue.org and fill out an application! We look forward to hearing from you. Hi there. I'm Pinkie from the Happy Days litter. I'm the biggest girl in my family, and if I say so myself, I'm the bestest too. I'm not like that other Pinkie- the one on the show. I mean to say that I'm not ""girl crazy"", I'm just people crazy. After all, I love people. I also love all my friends - other puppies and dogs and people of all sizes. I really like going for walks with my siblings and my foster family's big dogs. But I am the happiest when I am with my foster mom and dad and being loved on. I am really great at cuddling. I do like playing with my siblings, but I have to admit that I love being in my parents' arms or laps even more. I'm ready to join my furever family. Are you ready for a new (and awesome!) new family member? She is 11 weeks old

Story
ARKANSAS ONLY   We're looking for a happy forever home for Repete. The number one requirement is a home with a female adopter.  Men, no matter how calm and laid back, really stress him out. He is not at all aggressive with men,  but they cause him to cower and be constantly on guard. He bolted from a male foster and was missing for 3 years. It's a miracle that he has been found, so we want him to finally find his own calm safe home! The good news is Repete is wonderful with other pets. He's sweet, loving, and will make a loyal companion. He's neutered,  heartworm negative,  and fully vetted. He's about 70 pounds,  is white with tan ears and tan around his right eye, and is about 5 years old.  ##110445##

Story
Meet Nyla! This girl was meant to be a famous influencer pup. Her eyes, teeth, and ears have everyone stopping to meet her and she loves being the center of attention. Nyla hasn't had the best past, so it may take her a little time to trust new people, but with a handful of treats or two, she's ready to be your new best friend. And trust us when we say that she's a great friend to have! This girl is everything you might be looking for in a dog - she is a sweet, affectionate girl who keep all your secrets and be the goofy side-kick you've always needed. She's more than happy to accompany you on adventures and walks. She did have a clicking noise in her back leg when she first came to us, but with proper pain medication and joint supplements, they have gone away. So much as she'd love to, she's not up for mountain climbing or long runs everyday but everyday walks and adventures suite her perfectly. Just the other day, she had her first ever beach day and she would love to have a few more this summer! Nyla has been introduced to dogs here at PARL and she's not a fan but maybe that is because she looks more like a goat than a dog. She would also prefer a house without cats because she finds them a little creepy and they make her uncomfortable. She could do older dog-savvy kids who know to respect her personal space. Nyla seems to be house-trained and she already knows a few tricks (and is more than willing to learn more in exchange for treats!) Whoever gets to adopt Nyla will be incredibly lucky, they will get to wake up every morning and get to see this beautiful face. **If you are interested in meeting Nyla, please complete an Adopter Profile form at www.parl.org/adopt and come by to visit us during open adoption hours!**
