Dixie

My story

Dixie is a shy but sweet girl who is in need of a loving home. She was brought to the shelter along with her sister after her owner passed away and no one was available to take care of them. The sisters were understandably scared and unsure of this new environment. However, thanks to the caring staff, they have learned to feel safe again and are slowly opening up. Once Dixie gets to know you, she will be your loyal companion. It might take her some time to warm up to you as she is very shy, so we are looking for an adopter who is willing to visit her a few times at the shelter and gradually earn her trust. Dixie is an independent spirit and would do best in a quieter home without too much commotion or lots of people coming and going. She is 6 years old, so she is already well-trained and will make a great companion for a more low-key household. She is a great size and has a loyal and independent personality. She loves to explore and sniff around, but also loves to cuddle once she gets to know you. If you think you could provide a loving home for Dixie, we would love to hear from you! If you have another dog and are interested in meeting another potential new furry member please bring him or her to the shelter and meet on neutral ground before adopting. No need to shuffle the animals around any more than necessary. Please know that 1 mosquito bite can create heart worms and they can be fatal if not treated. It is VERY important to keep your pets healthy and protected by keeping them on a once a month heart worm and flea/tick prevention. These animals are counting on you as their owner to provide them with lots a love and the proper health care so PLEASE make sure you are aware and prepared before adopting. Owning a pet is an extra expense and responsibility but is so worth every minute and penny you invest in them. They will add lots of joy and unconditional love if given a fair chance. The shelter is open Mon.-Fri. 10-1, 2-5, Sat. 10-4. Adopt a homeless pet and save a life. If you can not adopt right now come out and volunteer and make a difference in the lives of these animals while they await their FOREVER home. In order to adopt any of our "bully breeds" there is special paper work that will need to be collected and approved prior to the adoption. We love all of our dogs and want to make sure to place our "bully babies" in homes best suited for them.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Dixie, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
