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.

Meet Daisy 🌼🤍 Our Perfect, Classy, Couch-Loving Lady! Age: 7.5 years old Weight: Approximately 40 lbs Personality: Sweet, gentle, affectionate, easygoing, and playful at heart Dog-friendly: Yes! House-trained: Yes! Crate-trained: Yes! Ideal home: A relaxed, loving home with plenty of cuddles, leisurely walks, and cozy places to nap. Some dogs are all about adventure, and some dogs are all about the zoomies. And then there's Daisy. 🌼 Daisy is a classy lady who knows exactly what she wants out of life: a comfy bed, a little sunshine, some leisurely strolls, a few play sessions, and a human who will love her endlessly. She's 7.5 years old, but don't let that number fool you! Daisy still has a playful, happy spirit tucked inside that sweet, grown-up soul. With her, you get the very best of both worlds: the calm, cuddly nature of an older dog and the occasional burst of puppy-like joy. She's the kind of girl who makes a house feel like home just by being in it. 🤍 💔 From the streets of South Texas to the search for a forever home Daisy was found wandering the streets of South Texas, near the Mexico border. She was incredibly skinny, and you could see the defeated look in her face. She had clearly been through a difficult time, and she needed someone to give her a chance. Thankfully, a kindhearted Good Samaritan saw Daisy and couldn't turn away. She was brought to safety and has now spent six months in the care of a sanctuary, waiting for the next chapter of her life to begin. Six months of waiting for a family to call her own. And while Daisy is safe, what she really needs is a home. A soft place to sleep, familiar faces to greet each day, and someone who will make sure she never has to fend for herself again. This beautiful girl has so much love left to give. It's time for her to enjoy the retirement she deserves, with all the little luxuries that make life wonderful. 🥹 🌼 Why Daisy is so special 🤍 The sweetest people-lover Daisy absolutely LOVES people! She's often the first to greet anyone coming through the door or gate, as if she's been waiting all day for someone new to meet. She wants to be around her humans, follow them from room to room, and simply enjoy their company. She's not asking for much. Just a little attention, a lot of affection, and a family who wants her close. 🛋️ Professional couch potato If your ideal evening involves relaxing on the couch, watching a movie, and snuggling up with your dog, Daisy would like to submit her application immediately. She's a low-key girl who enjoys taking life at a slower pace. She loves lounging in the sunshine, relaxing around the house, and curling up in a cozy bed. She's not looking for an all-day hiking partner; she's looking for someone who appreciates the beauty of a quiet life together. 🐶 A friend to other dogs Daisy gets along wonderfully with other dogs and could be very happy with a canine sibling to keep her company. If you're a one-dog household, that's okay, too! Regular opportunities to socialize with other dogs at a dog park or doggy daycare could be a lovely way to keep her connected with her furry friends, provided the setting suits her. 🎾 Playful at heart Although Daisy is a mature lady, she's still got a fun side! She enjoys playing a little before returning to her favorite activity: relaxing. And here's a fun little detail from her foster: Daisy doesn't destroy her toys! 😂 So far, all her toys have survived her care. We love a girl who knows how to have fun while keeping her belongings intact! 🚗 Your easygoing travel companion Daisy does great on car rides, making her a lovely companion for trips around town, scenic drives, or visits with friends and family. 🏡 Already a good girl at home Daisy is both house-trained and crate-trained, so she already has some of the important basics down. She doesn't really know many commands yet, but she loves following her people around and being part of whatever they're doing. She's not looking for a strict training schedule or a family with a long list of expectations. She'd love someone who will continue helping her learn while appreciating her for the sweet girl she already is. 🌭 The way to Daisy's heart? Hot dogs! Every lady has her favorite indulgence, and Daisy's happens to be hot dogs! She's a simple girl with excellent taste in life's little pleasures. (As always, treats should be offered in moderation and in a dog-safe way.) 🏡 Daisy's dream home Daisy would be a wonderful match for someone who wants a loving, relaxed companion without the demands of a super high-energy dog. She'd love: • A cozy bed, a comfy couch, and a sunny spot to nap. • Daily leisurely walks and a little playtime. • A human who enjoys having a dog nearby throughout the day. • Lots of cuddles, gentle affection, and quality time together. • Another friendly dog to share her home with, or occasional opportunities to spend time with doggy friends. Daisy would be especially lovely for someone who appreciates the companionship of a mature dog and wants a best friend to share life's quieter moments. She's not here to turn your world upside down. She's here to make it softer, sweeter, and a whole lot more loving. 💌 Please give our classy old lady a chance. It's easy for older dogs to be overlooked. People see their age and wonder how many years they have left, rather than seeing all the wonderful years of love, companionship, and happiness they can still bring to a family. Daisy deserves to be seen for who she is. She's the girl who greets you at the door. The girl who follows you around because she simply wants to be near you. The girl who enjoys a little playtime, then settles down beside you for a well-earned nap. The girl who doesn't need extravagant adventures or endless entertainment to be happy. She just wants to belong. After being found skinny and defeated on the streets, Daisy has spent months waiting for someone to choose her. We would love nothing more than for her next move to be into a home where she can finally relax, feel safe, and be someone's beloved companion. Please consider giving Daisy a chance at her forever home. 🌼🤍 Give this sweet senior girl a cozy bed, a few hot dogs, a human to love, and a place to spend her golden years surrounded by kindness. Daisy is ready to come home. Could that home be yours? 🏡💕 PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION BELOW IF INTERESTED IN ADOPTING: The next step to adopt is to fill out an application on our website at: www.pawsitive-Impact-animal-rescue.org Daisy is spayed, heart worm positive, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on de-wormer, and will receive a clean bill of health from a licensed veterinarian prior to transport.

Story
Georgey (or in Spanish, Gorge) is an 11-month-old pup that weighs approximately 32 lbs. While we do not know who his parents are, we believe he is Australian kelpie mixed with lab or catahoula. Either way, he is definitely adorable and very petite. We do think he is full grown as he has not grown since we got him. He has been in foster care since March 2025 - He was born on a ranch in south Texas, where a stray dog had puppies at. Only Gorge and his brother, Johnny, were surrendered though. We don’t know what happened to the other puppies or the parents. This awesome boy absolutely loves other dogs; big and small. He is currently being fostered in a sanctuary in south Texas, along the Texas/Mexico border. This amazing sanctuary is only a short term stop for this fur-baby until their forever home is found. Gorge is a goofy boy – he is always willing to try something first and would be considered the “class clown” of the group. He is a pleaser and loves being accepted by the other dogs. He is more submissive than most. Gorge loves his toys and playing around the yard. There is nothing he does not like doing. He is all around a very relaxed and easy going boy that would fit almost all types of households. He loves being around his people and will follow you around, trying to please you too. Gorge gets a little jealous when other dogs are out playing and he is in kennel. He will make very sad whimpering sounds in hopes to get let out, and usually it works! Gorge loves his toys so much that he decides it’s much better to have 20 pieces of one toy than just one toy! Tough toys are definitely a must for young Gorgey. He has met kitties and he has no issues with them! He would live very happy with other dogs and kitties in the home. Gorge is so friendly that he loves kids, strangers and really, any human! Gorge would love a home that has another dog or dogs, where he can play, have a kiddo pool full of water to lay in and go on walks around the neighborhood to explore and see new things. He would be truly great for most types of households. This animal is fixed (spayed/neutered), heart worm positive (they have received the 30-day course of antibiotics and need to stay on heart worm prevention for 12-16 months and be retested then), current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on de-wormer, and will receive a clean bill of health from a licensed veterinarian prior to transport. PLEASE READ BELOW: To apply to adopt you can go to our website at: www.pawsitive-Impact-animal-rescue.org This animal is currently located in Texas, but we do NOT adopt animals out in Texas due to the hundreds of animals being euthanized here daily. We ONLY do adopt in Central US and the East Coast. The adoption fee listed ($495) INCLUDES transport from Texas to the Northeast. Transport goes to the following locations every 2-3 weeks: Albany, NY – Only one transport company goes here, once a month Wells, VT and Brattleboro, VT Nashua, NH – Only one transport company goes here, times vary Willington, CT - Stamford, CT - Dayville, CT Steubenville, OH – Cincinnati, OH – Grove City, OH Grove City, PA and Washington, PA – THESE STOPS ARE ON HOLD AS OF 7/1 UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE Ridgefield, NJ and Mt Laurel, NJ Emmitsburg, MD and Elkton, MD Falls Church, VA and Glenn Allen, VA We have happily adopted hundreds of animals this way (long distance), and we do our best to make sure the animal you are applying for is best fit for your home.

They are all approximately 35 lbs and we believe they will grow to around 50 lbs full grown. 💕 Meet the Pack Girls: • Alexis • Sissy • Cookie • Bella • Kenzie Boy: • Mac Their mom is a purebred German Shepherd, and their dad is unknown but is believed to be a Husky/Lab mix. And let's talk about those EARS! 👂😂 Every single puppy has super pointy ears — guaranteed to get better signal and service than some cell phone companies! 🐶 How They Came to Be Their beautiful mom was found pregnant while roaming the streets of South Texas. Thankfully, a wonderful Good Samaritan took her in, and she was able to safely have these gorgeous babies in a loving environment.

But make no mistake — they're all still very much puppies! 🐕 They LOVE Other Dogs! All six pups get along wonderfully with other dogs and would absolutely love a home with a friendly canine sibling to play with. If you don't currently have another dog, we strongly recommend regular doggy daycare, playdates, or other opportunities for safe socialization and play. These babies thrive when they have plenty of exercise and companionship. 👧👦 Great Family Dogs These puppies are loving and social and we believe they would do wonderfully with children, provided everyone is taught appropriate and respectful interactions. They are loyal little souls who want nothing more than to be loved, included, and part of a family. 🎓 Ready to Learn! They haven't had much formal training yet, but don't let that fool you — these puppies are very smart! With patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, plenty of exercise, and an amazing family, these babies have so much potential and will flourish in their new forever homes. They're curious. They're playful. They're loving. They're loyal. They're goofy. And those ears? Absolutely priceless. 😂❤️ These six sweet babies have so much love to give. Now all they need are families who are ready to give them the forever homes they deserve.
