Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application   HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see   HERE Age: One year old at 11/29/25 Weight: 56 lbs. at 11/29/25 This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. This girl Scout is offering so much more than cookies. A one-year-old, reddish-brown Australian Kelpie mix, Scout loves to play in the yard, chill by the TV, and cuddle up on a soft couch cushion (she may need to adapt to your home's furry-bodies-on-furniture rules). She's simply the sweetest girl with so much joy to offer a loving home, and those soulful brown eyes will have you at hello. Scout spent some time roaming the street, so she can be a little cautious when meeting new people or new dogs, but it won't be long before she lets her fur down and makes herself right at home (she's currently living in a full house with four other dogs and having a blast!). Some of her favorite games are tug-of-war, fetch, and chase, and she absolutely loves to run, so if you have space, she'll put it to very good use. She's also perfectly comfortable riding in a car or dozing in a crate, just a sweet, well-behaved companion all around. She can't wait to meet you, so come see if Scout might be the forever friend you're looking for.   An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see   HERE   for more information about this. To apply for this dog, fill out an adoption application on our website:   Adoption Application - SOS Animal Rescue League in Rhode Island (sosarl.org)   **Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 29, 2025, 10:57 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application   HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see   HERE   Age:  2 yrs (as of 11/13/25) Weight: 55 lbs. (as of 11/13/25) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Everybody loves Rosie! Say hello to this lovely, loyal two-year-old Australian Kelpie mix who's looking for her new forever home. At that perfect young adult age, Rosie Hip loves chilling out on the couch on a cold winter's night but is always ready to go for a ride or play chase with her canine siblings or neighbors. When she's playing with her squeaky toys and chew toys, that's when you'll see her puppy instincts in full swing! Rosie's not the biggest fan of crates, but she's been able to adapt so would do fine if crates are your preference. While you're out earning a paycheck, she's perfectly content to stay either indoors (she has a no-accident track record!) or outdoors in the yard. She does really well in the car, so is happy to accompany you on errands, but she's even more excited to take walks and is real proud of the leash walking skills she's learned. She's playful, affectionate, and even-tempered around adults, children, dogs, and cats, so would do well in a high-traffic household, a quiet bachelor pad, or anything in between. Rosie and her brother Max Hip (see separate listing) were house dogs to an ailing elderly couple who had extended periods of immobility and have now passed away, so they'll need a little extra attention while they acclimate to new homes. They're available either individually or as a pair. Rosie's waiting to meet you! An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see   HERE   for more information about this.

Story
Bella 🐾 Meet Bella! 🐾 Bella is a 5–6 month old pup with a heart full of love and a personality that’s equal parts playful and cuddly. 💕 ✨ Fun Facts About Bella: 1. Potty trained — no accidents since day one! 🚽👏 2. The biggest cuddle bug 🛋️ 3. Loves car rides (as long as she can touch you) 🚗❤️ 4. Super playful, floppy, and full of puppy energy 🎾 5. Smart girl who already knows “sit” 🐾 Bella’s favorite things? Sunbathing after potty breaks 🌞, flopping down leash and all, and “talking” at her reflection with the cutest little howl-growl combo. 🐶 She’s had a tough start to life and can be timid with men and kids, but she is never aggressive. She does great hanging out in a bathroom with her bed and toys, but a crate makes her very anxious. She’s working hard on puppy manners like “sit before pets” and “sit before food,” and she takes direction well. Bella is both a couch potato and a playmate — she loves walks, playtime, and then snuggling close. She just wants to be loved, reassured, and never left behind again. 💙 🏡 Ideal Home: Bella would thrive in a home where she can be the center of attention and get plenty of affection, exercise, and continued training. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’ll make you laugh, keep you company, and love you endlessly, Bella is your girl. 🥰 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!

Story
Meet Royalty, a sweet ~1-2 year old spayed female kelpie/terrier mix! She's a great size at about 32 lbs! Royalty is a shy girl at first, who takes some time to warm up to new people (especially men). However, she comes around with a little love and patience! She does best being introduced to new people slowly, sometimes outside throwing her treats. Fast movements and loud noises make her nervous and she may bark and/or growl. Because of this, we recommend a home with no young children. She does ok with older/dog savvy kids and has warmed up to her foster mom's grandson and will happily go for walks and cuddle with him! If you are patient with her and let her come to you on her own terms, she will eventually reward you with lots of cuddles and kisses once she has deemed you safe! Royalty is an energetic girl who enjoys going on walks and would love a fenced in yard of her own to run around and get out her energy! She also loves bones, lick mats, and puzzle toys. She is a very smart girl and knows many commands, including "sit", "down", "wait", "let's go", "paw", "other paw", and "leave it"! She is very food motivated and eager to learn - she would be a great candidate for training games and maybe even agility. She does great with other dogs after a proper intro and is BFFs with her foster fur sibling! She would love a confident, well adjusted doggo friend to show her the ropes and help her learn to build her confidence. She is a herder and will chase cats and small animals, so no feline friends for this girl. Royalty is medically up to date, housebroken, and crate trained. Apply to meet this special girl today! Click HERE for Adoption Application: pawsrescueleague.org/adopt Adoption fees vary based on the dog and are not negotiable. As a small rescue that does not receive government funding or grants, we rely on adoption fees to stay afloat. Adoption fees help cover the following: vaccinations, wellness exams, heartworm/4DX testing, parasite prevention, spay/neuter (age-appropriate), microchipping, transport expenses, and other rescue-related overhead/administrative costs. Paws Rescue League, Inc is an all-inclusive rescue that does NOT only rescue puppies and young, healthy dogs.  We make a point to also rescue seniors, dogs with special needs, moms, and other “less desirable” dogs, knowing that we will likely incur higher veterinary expenses and that these dogs may take longer to get adopted.  As such, an individual adoption fee is not only reimbursing PRL for expenses directly related to that dog, but it is also helping us to continue our mission of taking in dogs that would otherwise be too much of a financial burden to save. We believe that ALL dogs deserve a second chance. Thank you for your support and understanding! ##2338111##
