Story
Meet Tofu! Adoption Fee: $549 Adoption Application - Copy & Paste https://forms.gle/FmtRtYxQNnemdkdw9 This fluffy little heart-stealer earned his name from his gorgeous white coloring—soft, bright, and impossible not to love. Tofu was recently pulled from our local shelter because he was simply too cute to leave behind, and now he’s safe, thriving, and ready to find a forever family of his own. Tofu is about 8 weeks old and weighs around 13 pounds. While we don’t know his breed for sure, he has the look of an Australian Shepherd / Samoyed–type mix—but that’s just our best guess. What we do know is that he’s absolutely beautiful and destined to grow into a stunning dog. Personality-wise, Tofu is everything you want in a puppy: sweet, friendly, curious, and cuddly, with that perfect mix of playful energy and baby-puppy charm. He loves attention, enjoys being held, and is eager to start learning about the world around him. As a young puppy, Tofu will need an adopter committed to training, socialization, and all the joys (and messes!) of puppyhood. In return, you’ll get unconditional love, endless tail wags, and a loyal companion for years to come. If you’re looking for a beautiful, fluffy, lovable puppy to grow up with your family, Tofu 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 &paste this link. https://www.adoptapet.com/pet-search?radius=50&postalCode=02919&awos[0]=165123&filterMode=all Paws of Dixie Animal Rescue adopts in the New England area.

Meet Mushroom and his brother Bellpepper, delightful pups with hearts full of joy. Known for his even temperament, Mushroom is the epitome of sweetness and playfulness. He's a smart pup who loves his toys and enjoys playful moments with anyone willing to engage. Although a bit shy, Mushroom quickly warms up to new friends, showing his gentle and friendly nature. Being just puppies, they will have so much to learn! They'll need house training, crate training and will need to learn to walk on a leash. We strongly recommend that all our dogs attend obedience classes because you get to learn commands together, and it offers an opportunity for confidence building and socialization for the dog. Mushroom is an ideal companion for anyone looking for a loyal and loving friend. Adopt Mushroom or Bellpepper today and experience the unconditional love and fun he brings to every day! Medical Note: This dog tested positive for and/or had symptoms of parvovirus.  His last symptoms were on 12/3/25.  This dog has been examined and is now healthy and eager to find his forever home!  Please see here for information about parvovirus.
