Story
Meet Estella! Estella is a beautiful pittie girl with velvet soft fur and a personality that shines as bright as any star. Estella is 4 years old and in all her time she hasn't yet found a person she didn't like. Her hobbies are puzzle games (any way to earn snacks is her idea of fun), walks, and time spent with her favorite people. She’s a snuggle bug and once she’s used her energy up, she’s happy to keep you company on the couch. Estelle is as friendly as a girl can be - she loves meeting new people and she's also savvy with other dogs as well! Estella hasn't had any experience with cats, we would recommend a slow introduction to ensure the safety and comfort of all animals involved. She can be a little over-enthusiastic taking treats and is working on her manners, so she’s do best in a home with older children. **if you are interested in Estella, please complete an adopter's profile at parl.org and come in during our open hours**

Story
Oakley is that perfect mix of goofy, loving, and downright loyal. Around 2–3 years old, this gorgeous girl has energy for days and a heart big enough to fill a whole house. Oakley loves her people hard. She’s the type of dog who will stick by your side, make you laugh with her silly personality, and give the best full-body tail wags when you walk in the door. She does not do well with cats — she thinks they’re mischievous little aliens and has decided they’re not for her. But with humans and dogs? She’s a sweetheart. She is house trained and crate trained.

Story
Meet Buzz Meeeeet Buzz! This guy is a fun and friendly ten-month-old-ish pittie mix. He's a resident of Exeter Animal Shelter and a participant in Handsome Dan's Rescue's Shelter Dog Enrichment Program. Buzz was picked up as a stray so we don't have a history on him, but from what we can see, he is likely to enjoy the company of other dogs. With his HDR Enrichment Specialist, Matt, Buzz will be getting training to work on some jumpy and mouthy behaviors. It's typical adolescent stuff, but until we get a handle on that we would prefer kids aged ten or over. To apply to adopt Buzz, please go to handsomedansrescue.org. Thank you for choosing rescue!

Story
Meet Jasmine! 🐾😍 With her adorable face, perky ears, and soft brindle coat, this 11-month-old Boxer/Staffordshire Terrier mix is pure cuteness wrapped in fur. She’s super sweet and affectionate, always ready with cuddles once she’s gotten her playtime in. Jasmine is playful, energetic, and full of joy—she loves chew bones, squeaky toys, balls, and especially splashing around in the water! After running off her zoomies, she’s happiest curled up close, following you from room to room like the most loyal little shadow. She can be a tad shy at first, but warms up quickly and then her happy, silly personality shines. Jasmine adores kids, cats, and other dogs, though we recommend older kids in the home since her enthusiasm might knock down tiny toddlers by accident. She’s already crate trained and housebroken, spayed, and up to date on vaccinations. Jasmine is the perfect mix of fun and snuggles, just waiting for her forever family to find her. ❤️ RPACI is a non profit rescue, and currently possess our 501C3 to operate as such. Please visit us on Facebook: Rebecca's Paws and Claws in Remlap and our website: www.rpacirescue.org.

Story
🎉 Meet Al! The Ultimate Playmate! 🐾 Get ready to zoom! Al is a striking, 65 lb Bully mix boy (DOB: 09/04/24) who brings a massive dose of fun and snuggles everywhere he goes. 💖 All About the Love If you are looking for an affectionate dog, look no further! Al is an absolute love bug who is incredibly affectionate with everyone. Seriously, all people—including kids—are his best friends! He is neutered, fully current on all his medical needs (vaccines, heartworm, and flea prevention), and microchipped for life. He's also a smart cookie: he is crate trained, house broken and knows some basic commands already! 🤸 Ready, Set, GO! This handsome hunk is a firecracker! Al has high energy, so forget lazy afternoons—he MUST have vigorous daily exercise to burn off steam and be his happiest, most balanced self. He’s looking for an active family ready for adventures. Because of his need to run and play safely, a securely fenced yard is required. A quick word on little ones: While he adores children, his enthusiasm and size can sometimes be "too much" for the smallest kids; he could accidentally knock a tiny human over during playtime. A home with older, sturdy children would be the best fit! 🐈 Critter Connections He's been good with cats, but watch out—he's a bit of a goofball and tends to "harass" them (in a playful way, of course!). Tolerant felines are a must, or maybe just a cat-free zone. Al is ready to be your shadow, your running buddy, and your ultimate couch potato after a good long walk. Are you ready for his all-star energy? 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. 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. Once an application is received, our team is happy to answer all of your questions and send additional pictures and videos. Thank you for thinking rescue!

Meet Pearlie! 🐾😍 This beautiful 2-year-old Boxer mix is as sweet and gentle as they come. Pearlie is the definition of an easygoing companion — affectionate, funny, and always ready to soak up all the love and belly rubs she can get. She’s social and friendly with everyone she meets and loves being part of whatever you’re doing, whether that’s a cozy snuggle on the couch or enjoying some sunshine in the yard. Pearlie is housebroken, crate trained, and wonderfully well-mannered. She gets along great with kids and other dogs, but she’d prefer a home without cats. She’s spayed, fully vaccinated, and ready to find a forever family who will cherish her as much as she’ll adore them. With her soft caramel-and-white coat, floppy ears, and those warm, soulful eyes, Pearlie is as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside.
