Story
Meet Simon, a very loving and affectionate boy who is so eager to please and gets along well with everyone he meets. Simon was found in January 2025 on a rural road in Mississippi, a cold, frightened, malnourished and almost completely hairless young puppy. After only a month of rest, nutrition, treatment and love in foster care, he transformed into a beautiful, happy, healthy, playful young puppy. He spent the first few months in an outdoor pen, waiting for a forever family that didn’t materialize. Now he is being fostered as an indoor dog learning the good manners of the fully grown young adolescent pup he has become. Simon is such a quick learner and has done so well; making everyone so proud.Simon gets along well with other dogs, and although his foster home doesn’t have cats, he has shown no interest in them during veterinary visits. He walks nicely on a leash, knows the “sit” command, and is a great traveler—loading easily and riding calmly in a crate in the back. Simon is already housebroken and crate-trained. He enjoys playing fetch with a rope toy and politely drops it at your feet, hoping you’ll toss it again rather than turning the game into tug-of-war.While he is laid-back and well-mannered indoors, Simon still has plenty of happy puppy energy and enthusiasm, making him eager to run, play, and explore whenever he’s outside.He is a very handsome pup with a gorgeous chocolate brown coat and cute white socks on all four feet. Simon is so ready to meet his new forever family. He will return any attention and love shown to him ten-fold. You could become the center of his universe and the object of his adoration.Name: SimonBreed: Australian Cattle Dog/Pit Bull TerrierSex: MaleAge: 1 year  (estimated)Weight: 65.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: Over 5 since his excitability may accidently topple over a tiny tot.Good with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: YesAdoption Fee: $550.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)Location of dog currently:  MississippiIMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & New England.  Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Cheyenne Blue Heeler / Lab Mix | ~12 weeks old | ~18 lbs Cheyenne is a confident, intelligent, and affectionate young girl with a wonderful balance of loyalty and independence. She’s the kind of puppy who makes you smile every day — bright, capable, and full of personality. She is incredibly smart for her age and is already showing great house habits, keeping herself clean and picking up on routines quickly. Cheyenne enjoys being around people and seeks out affection, but she also has an independent streak that allows her to entertain herself when you’re busy — truly the best of both worlds. She gets along beautifully with other dogs, reads social cues well, and fits in easily with a group. Whether she’s playing, exploring, or relaxing nearby, she carries herself with calm confidence and curiosity. We believe Cheyenne is a Blue Heeler / Lab mix, a combination known for intelligence, loyalty, and adaptability. These dogs tend to form strong bonds with their people while also being capable, thoughtful companions. Cheyenne would do wonderfully in a home that appreciates a smart dog who enjoys connection, routine, and inclusion in daily life. She’s going to grow into a devoted, well-rounded companion — the kind of dog who is always nearby, always aware, and always part of the family. If Cheyenne sounds like the kind of dog you’ve been waiting for, we’d love to hear more about your home and lifestyle. Thank you for checking out our wonderful orphans. We try to post videos for each pet so you can really get to know them. If you would like to find out more please email or call Diane at... diane@ulpr.org or 870-577-3744.   Please email us at diane@ulpr.org and request an application. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 12, 2026, 4:25 am

Blue is currently in RI and looking for a 'furever' home! Blue is a stunning black and tan girl with a cute bobbed tail and endless enthusiasm. This high energy ball obsessed heeler mix lives to run, play, and be part of the action. She sleeps soundly in her crate at night, comes when she is called, and is eager for love and connection. Blue would do best with older children who can enjoy her zest for life and keep up with her joyful energy. If you are interested in adopting this dog please complete the adoption application at www.rhodehomerescue.org/adoption-form to become a pre-approved adopter. If you were already approved through Rhode Home Rescue within the last 6 months, contact us today!

Story
Meet Bandit! Adoption Fee: $449 includes transport Adoption Application - Copy & Paste https://forms.gle/FmtRtYxQNnemdkdw9 Bandit is a fun-loving, energetic Australian Cattle Dog mix — we think he might be a Cowboy Corgi, thanks to his petite size, short little legs, and that classic cattle dog coloring and personality. Bandit was found wandering and brought to the local shelter, where his foster mom instantly fell in love. True to his breed, Bandit tends to bond closely with one person (his foster dad is his favorite!), but he’s friendly and affectionate with everyone he meets. He’s a social butterfly who loves greeting new people and dogs — he recently charmed the crowd at a local Oktoberfest! This clever boy is always up for learning something new. When he first visited the dock with his foster siblings, Bandit was nervous around water. But just a couple of weeks later, he was leaping off the ramp to fetch toys — life vest and all! He’d make an amazing little dock-diving partner. Fetch is one of his favorite games, and tennis balls are pure joy in his world. Bandit also loves getting out for walks and hikes. Exploring new places and sniffing everything along the way are some of his favorite ways to spend time with his people. Bandit currently lives with three other dogs, two cats, and gets along great with children. Like many herding breeds, he can be a bit mouthy and may try to herd smaller animals, so a home that understands cattle dog behavior would be ideal. Bandit would thrive in an active home where he can get plenty of walks, playtime, and mental stimulation. After a day of adventures, he’s also a world-class snuggler who loves curling up for cuddles at night. If you’re looking for a loyal, smart, and spunky companion, Bandit just might be your perfect match! 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.
