Story
Meet Skipper! ❤️ 🐾 Skipper is (estimated at 9 years young) an auburn chipper male. Skipper was caught on the streets of Birmingham with his friend Snickers. So, we honestly think they came from the same home. Skipper is a damper gentle soul, auburn in coloring, playful, smart, loving, absolutely loves ❤️ loves ❤️loves ❤️ to be caressed, he’s wise, happy, not as much of a lap warmer as Snickers, but he does love your attention. He has long graceful legs and is a hoot. 😂 He loves car rides and does perfectly when traveling! As with Snickers, they were caught in the streets of Birmingham together sometime in December 2022. Both are both house trained with regular trips outside. A fenced backyard would be great and preferred! Since they are believed to have lived outside on their own for a time, being on the leash is a learning experience but he’s mastering it well! Skipper is very much loved in his foster home and they can’t wait for him to find his perfect family! 🥰 If interested in adopting one of our available pets, please fill out an application at http://www.dixiegirldogrescue.org/adopt-form 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 our adorable 11-week-old Rat Terrier mix puppies, affectionately named after characters from 101 Dalmatians! This super smart litter has already mastered going up and down stairs, showcasing their impressive agility despite their tiny legs. These playful and affectionate pups have been wonderfully socialized in their foster home, making them ready to become cherished members of some very lucky families. They are currently working on basic puppy training and are picking up skills quickly! **Pongo**: The leader and prankster of the bunch, Pongo loves to “talk” to the dogs in his foster home, which is absolutely hilarious to witness. He’s always up for some fun and games. These puppies will make excellent additions to their future families, bringing joy, laughter, and plenty of love. If you’re ready to welcome a new furry friend into your home, consider one of these delightful pups!

Story
Benny is an incredibly sweet 8-year-old Rat Terrier mix who’s full of life and love. While he’s a total cuddle bug, he also likes keeping in shape. He enjoys outdoor time, especially taking long walks and running around in a fenced-in backyard. Benny was adopted by his current family and exhibited separation anxiety and guarding from the start, but otherwise did well. When another dog joined the household, Benny grew more anxious over his food and toys. This behavior creates a risk for young children, even though Benny loves people. The owners care deeply for Benny, but with a toddler in the family they’ve decided it’s best to find him a more suitable environment. Benny would be very happy as an only pet in an adult-only home. Ideally, he’d love being the center of attention with someone who stays home much of the day. He would love to enjoy all his toys in peace and not worry about his kibble getting stolen. In return, his new person will enjoy Benny’s devotion and affection.
