Paws of Dixie Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue based in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Its mission is to save unwanted, abandoned, and neglected animals and place them in loving, forever homes, while also educating the community about the importance of spaying and neutering. To adopt, prospective owners fill out an application; Paws of Dixie then verifies the applicant's home address and speaks with their current veterinarian before finalizing a match. Adopters also sign an agreement stating that if they can no longer keep the pet for any reason, it must be returned to the rescue rather than rehomed elsewhere, and the organization may request references or conduct home visits as part of its screening. Paws of Dixie says its goal is to place pets with families where the animal becomes a true part of the household, and it reserves the right to decline an adoption if a pet and family don't seem like a good match. The rescue can be reached by email or by mail at its P.O. Box in Tuscaloosa, and offers separate adoption applications for dogs and cats along with a foster contract for those interested in fostering.
