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.

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
Carla, a perfect pet, is a young adult being fostered in Rhode Island looking for her forever home. She arrived at a Louisiana shelter using only three legs with a presumed injury, but as clearly a very sweet and loving dog was pulled by rescue and underwent a fermoral head ostectomy surgery to give her a future. She is now well progressed in recovery back to a proper four legged life, although at times due to habit, sometimes uses three, but gets around fine either version. Just lovely to be around, she is a people positive, affectionate and playful girl with velcro-ish ways who likes to be near to where you are, but polite and not cloying, extremely pleasant company and crates nicely. She gets along with all, living among other dogs with ease (loves to play!) and would fit well in a lot of situations. As a large small to small medium in size, close to 30 lbs, who is quiet by nature and housebroken, she would certainly be a good fit for apartments. Spayed and ready to go, please feel free to reach out to Lucy at maramuser@gmail.com with any questions, or to request an application. Carla's adoption fee is $450. Due to quarantine regulations, we unfortunately cannot adopt to residents of Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
