About Dixie

Sweet Dixie is a charming 12-year-old Chihuahua who came to us from a hoarding situation. Having lived a tough life, she had dental issues and underwent surgery to remove three mammary tumors. Yet, she's bounced back wonderfully and is now a happy, affectionate little girl. Dixie is heartworm negative, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and crate trained. Despite her senior status, Dixie remains active and loves being around her humans. She's good with children and can thrive in a home with other dogs or as the only pet. While she has a lot of love to give, she deserves a chance to experience the comfort of a loving home in her golden years. Please remember that we are located in Tennessee, and you won't be able to meet our pets before adopting. Her adoption fee is $500. Click apply to start the adoption process.
