Dixie Cup is a 20-month-old Rottweiler with a remarkable story. After being struck by a car and suffering major injuries—fractured spine, broken shoulder, and the eventual loss of a leg—she defied assumptions about her future. Thanks to a dedicated veterinary team and rescue, Dixie bounced back with energy and an unbeatable spirit. Now living happily as a three-legged dog, she’s lively, playful, and shows a strong bond with her people. Dixie Cup is loyal, learns fast, and displays plenty of game—always eager for yard fun or a challenge with a favorite toy. She’s affectionate and loves showing her people just how much she cares. Despite everything, her cheerful personality wins everyone over. Dixie Cup gets along well with other dogs (especially males) and flourishes with structure and routine. A physically fenced yard over 4.5 feet will be necessary for her safety, and due to her playful energy and social preferences, she’s best suited for homes with children 10 or older. She hasn’t been tested with cats, so that’s still unknown. If you’re looking for a tenacious, loving friend who refuses to let setbacks define her, Dixie Cup offers a heart full of love and a whole lot of grit. Give her the regular activity and companionship she craves, and she’ll reward you with loyalty and joy. Start your journey together! Apply now.
