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
MEET DUNCAN!Duncan is a cute, snuggly, and playful puppy who gained a little confidence in a foster home while still enjoying his independence. Though initially unsure of his surroundings, he quickly found comfort in his bed, making it his safe space and happily engaging in independent play with soft, crinkly, squeaky toys. Duncan enjoys food and is a good eater, showing particular enthusiasm for his Kong filled with peanut butter. He slept soundly through the night and became comfortable resting in his crate during car rides. While he has grown more confident outside sniffing, showing burst of puppy energy, and even enjoying snow, Duncan clearly prefers the coziness of being indoors and eagerly heads back home. He is learning to walk on leash and is becoming more relaxed with each outing. Inside, Duncan truly shines, offering sweet snuggles, playful moments and a joyful puppy presence that makes him such a fun guy to be around.Duncan is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed/neutered, microchipped and seen by our vet team.For more information on Duncan or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, please call us at 617-426-9170. We welcome adopters from NH, RI, CT, and NY. However, we will be unable to facilitate same day adoptions due to state regulated paperwork requirements.
