This beautiful girl is ready to be the STAR of your life!⭐️ Star is an approximately 5 year old female pittie girl. She is petite in frame and just a sweet, gentle love. She has been THRIVING in her foster home and now she is ready to find a family of her own!😍 This sweet girl loves belly rubs and laying around the house or outside in the sun. She is a BIG fan of stuffed animals and can be found carrying them around the house! Her foster mama has been teaching her how to decipher between kid toys and dog toys but sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference🤪 When asked about Star’s personality, her foster mom says “you will absolutely fall in love with this girl. She is sweet and just wants to be close to you! She is low energy and crate trained, and all she wants in life is a warm bed to lay her head on, and infinite belly rubs.”💕 Star is great with other dogs after proper introductions and has a dominant play style, so she does best with patient playmates who aren’t easily offended😉 She would do well in a home with or without another pup, and would LOVE to have kids in her forever home - she thinks they’re pretty awesome. Star would make the perfect companion for just about anyone willing to give her a chance.🐾 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.

Dom the “house hippo” is coming up on his 3rd birthday in February, and he wants to spend it in a home of his own!🖤 This cutie looooves to go for walks. Whenever he hears “Do you want to go outside” or someone grabs his leash, he will hurry to the door and eagerly wait to go! 🐕 Dom loves to lay on the couch after the excitement of seeing you wears off, but he will greet you with zoomies and kisses. He is his foster mom’s shadow, and he carries a toy in his mouth almost always. 🧸 Dom loves to fetch. He will let you throw his toy until you get tired of throwing it because he will never get tired of it! 🎾 This handsome boy is crate trained & house trained. He loves for his food to have fish oil in it and eats from a slow-feeder bowl because he is a hungry hippo! 🦛 Since Dom does not want to miss out on anything exciting, he does cry a little when he first goes into his crate for the night. This is resolved by some white noise while he sleeps! Dom uses a collar and a tactile leash only. This is not only helpful for his leash training (he is doing amazing), but is also helpful for you especially when out in public. 🐕 Dom will do best in a single-pet home. He is good with other dogs, but he gets overly excited with them and due to his size, it may make them nervous! We would let him go to a multi-pet home if it was the perfect fit 🖤 Are you the pawrents Dom has been looking for? Apply today!

Story
Temperance is looking for her soulmate 🖤 Temp is a 4 year old adult pittie that had a hard life before she made her way to us. She was found emaciated in an area of Birmingham known for neglecting animals, and the amount of neglect that was evident on her body was heartbreaking. She was so skinny, scared & had obviously not been loved before, but her life changed that night! Temp was shockingly HW-, so instead of having to go through treatment we were able to immediately begin teaching her how to “dog.” It was obvious she had never been a companion before, and never had doggie pals, so we enlisted our trainer at Gentle Wolf Dog Training for help. She has helped us build her confidence and social skills and muzzle trained her to help with confidence around new people and dogs! This sweet girl is so unique and deserves to be “the one” for someone. All her fosters (and friends) want is for her to find a family that will advocate for her and love her like she deserves. Temperance loves pup cups, car rides, walks and big snuggles. She is tug of war champion, house trained and kennel trained. She isn’t a “brewery dog” or a dog park dog, but she is the best Netflix binging, book reading, porch sitting and early morning walks buddy. Temperance is in a foster home that is just not the right fit - with 7 other dogs, 2 cats and a newborn baby, she doesn’t get the attention she needs or deserves. We know she will truly blossom in a home that is ready to give her their all and be her best friend.
