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. 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.

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.

Story
Mr. Dash is like a sad movie dog with a hopeful forever story. He's a bundle of love me energy wrapped in a fuzzy package. Full of energy with a calm core. He's very receptive to guidance and extremely eager to learn how to be loves. This is literally his second chance at life, and he knows it. He's great with cats, kids, piles of puppies, and his dozen foster homies. He plays great, learned hand signals for guidance, and is extremely intelligent. Dash doesn't chew up the household goods and walks great on a leash. He would do best with a buddy because a tired dog is the greatest kind of dog. He would also be great someone active if he was an only dog. If it wasn't for rescue, he wouldn't have had a chance to know how to love and have the opportunity to meet his forever family. Dash is a gentle soul in a 'come love me' kind of way.FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.

Story
Sweet Dixie has been at the rescue for a little over a year. The group of dogs that she entered care with were quickly adopted out. She is still waiting. Dixie was a young mom who had to scrounge for food while living outside. She no longer has to wonder where her next meal is coming from, but she is still wondering when someone will choose her. Dixie is an energetic girl who just wants to be near her human - she prefers women. She loves to roll in the grass in the sunshine and take walks. Dixie is energetic and enjoys running around at a dog park. Being a heeler, she is very smart and quick to learn. She really wants to please. Dixie would love to find a home where she feels secure and can be active. She will need time to settle in and get used to the routines of the household. Dixie is a sweet girl with a lot of love to give. She is not good with cats and is dog selective.FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.
