About Dixie Largo

Meet Dixie, a charming 15-pound Pomeranian mix, around 7 years old. This sweet girl has blossomed in her foster home, moving from a shy newcomer to a playful and adventurous companion. She loves to chase lizards and genuinely enjoys leash walks, especially in her fenced yard where she can explore and play. Dixie gets along well with similar-sized dogs but has a strong prey drive and is not recommended for homes with cats, as she tends to chase them. She's also great with older kids—those 12 and up—who understand how to interact with a small dog. After a day of adventures, she loves curling up on the couch, enjoying a chew toy. Dixie is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and she's on monthly heartworm and flea prevention. She will need regular grooming to keep her looking her best, with sessions costing around $60.
