Dixie, boxer and Labrador retriever mix
Dixie is a lovable female boxer and Labrador retriever mix staying at Adopt a Homeless Animal Rescue.
Her vaccinations are already up to date, and she is spayed. Have no fear: She's already house-trained.
Notes from Dixie's caretakers:
Dixie is a beautiful brown-eyed 1-2-year-old Lab/boxer mix who was found as a stray. Although this pup had been mistreated, you wouldn’t know it by her all-around-friendly disposition. Dixie is resilient, very smart and eager to please. Dixie responds well to commands, is curious about her environment and playful when you engage with her. For this unique gal, you'll need to provide a sofa to curl up next to you, some continued basic training and extra love. Dixie would enjoy walks and hikes with her new best friend.

Shirley, pit bull terrier
Shirley is a lovable female pit bull terrier dog in the care of Pitties and Purrs.
Shirley is ready to make friends, and she's happy to keep company with cats, dogs and children. Fear not: She has already been house-trained. She already has all of her shots, and she's spayed.
Shirley's current caretakers say:
*Shirley is extremely loving and affectionate and will melt into your lap. She loves to play and rough-house with our other dog and the rest of the family and enjoys snuggling, even with visitors who come to our home. One of our favorite things about Shirley is that she turns pink; this is especially the case at night, when she gets sleepy. She completed a seven-week obedience class, which has been helpful, but she would certainly benefit from additional work. Shirley loves taking long walks around the city, in the woods and through parks. Shirley does well with dogs whom she knows but would need to go through a proper introduction period with new dogs in her new home.

His vaccinations are up to date, and he is neutered. He is already house-trained.
Notes about Rosco':
I am a medium adult male Boston terrier mix, but because I am brand new to these parts, there's not much more known about me just yet. If you check back a little later, I'm sure my foster parents will have a lot more information to post about me.

Dallas, Labrador retriever and shepherd mix
Dallas is a charming female Labrador retriever and shepherd mix being kept at Pitties and Purrs.
Dallas is a true family dog, and children will love her. No other dogs, please: She is looking for a dog-free forever home. Dallas is spayed and vaccinated. No need to worry: She has already been house-trained.
Here's what Dallas' friends at Pitties and Purrs think of her:
Dallas is the sweetest, most loyal, loving pup. She is looking to be an only child as she prefers a quiet and relaxed lifestyle. She’s happy running in the yard with you, or just snuggling up. She has brought her family more happiness than they can ever repay her for, and she is ready to share that with someone who can provide a calmer home for her. Dallas would do best in a home with older children only (10+) and no other dogs.
