About Dixie

Meet Dixie, an adorable two-year-old black and white miniature poodle. She came to us via animal control after enduring neglect and was in tough shape with matted fur that had to be shaved. Thankfully, her coat is coming back beautifully, and she's now ready for a loving home. Dixie is a complete snuggle bug, always seeking to be held and giving her all for cuddles. She's a fantastic lap dog and loves being close to her humans. She gets along well with other dogs and appears fine with cats too. Older, calm children would suit her just fine. Ideally, she'd be happiest in a home where someone is around most of the time. Dixie is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, on heartworm prevention, and is already crate-trained. If you're interested in welcoming Dixie into your family, please visit our website to fill out an adoption application. Adoption is a loving commitment, and she's ready to start that journey with you!
