Dixie Dog Rescue

Dog rescue in West Hartford, CT

Dixie Dog Rescue is an all-breed rescue group headquartered in West Hartford, CT. Our group is comprised of volunteers all over Eastern United States who love dogs and want to help those that end up homeless through no fault of their own. Loyal and loving dogs turn up every day in Southern shelters, as owners turn them in or they’re found roaming the streets after being dumped. We evaluate each dog’s temperament and suitability for living with other dogs, cats, and children. The dogs’ health is checked, and we make sure they are up-to-date on all shots and spayed or neutered. Then, we place them in loving foster homes until they find their very own family. Our goal is to meet the needs of each individual dog and to assure proper placement in a loving forever home.

Dixie Dog Rescue is dedicated to animal rescue. In addition to our primary goal of helping homeless and abandoned dogs, we

-donate money to low-cost spay/neuter clinics in the south to help solve the problem of pet overpopulation;
-engage in community outreach activities with local schools to help educate children and young adults about animal rescue and responsible pet ownership;
-team with non-profit organizations that train rescued dogs to assist disabled people. More than two dozen of our Dixie Dogs have become certified service dogs, helping disabled people lead more independent lives.

We are proud of the work we do with our Dixie Dogs and in our local communities.
