About DIXIE
Distance: 3,171 Miles
HOLD / PENDING Dixie is a strikingly beautiful, loving-every-moment-of-life, exuberant girl. She had been with a family previously who had to give her up, although they loved her very much. Dixie is cautious of strangers but a great appropriate introduction, she can quickly become friends. With her family and people, she’s just a wonderfully affectionate, playful happy dog.
She is strong and does have some pray drive (will chase a lizard, try to catch bees etc.), so a person that is able to manage that appropriately would be needed if you intend to do a lot of outings.
Dixie has a lot of training under her belt, which her new family should be willing and prepared to continue for consistency and continued development and to maintain respect for boundries. When she first came to our rescue she was very mouthy (not in an aggressive way but playful or this was how she learned to say hello or get attention as a puppy) she has been doing really well in learning better and more appropriate behavior.
Her ultimate favorite toy is a tennis throw toy. She will chase that top and then prance around, so proud of herself.
Dixie loves other compatable dogs and is a boisterous playmate so she is more compatable with dogs that wont challenge her but will chase the ball with her (but mostly let her win).
Her favorite thing in the world is the company and love of a family. She loves to hang out and be around her people -
She would not be good around cats and because of her exuberance, older children would be more suited.
If you are interested in Dixie and think you might be a good match for her, please submit an application to www.lovar.org
