About Dexter and Dixie

Dexter and Dixie are a charming pair looking for a forever home after being a beloved part of a family for six years. Rescued as puppies amidst a pack of large dogs, this Terrier-Chihuahua mix duo thrives together. Dexter, with his wiry coat, is a curious and social little guy who follows you everywhere. He treasures his favorite toy and guards it closely, while Dixie, with her soft, two-tone fur, loves lounging on her comfy pillow. She will leave her spot only when treats are involved, showcasing her playful side. They are both potty trained and enjoy daily walks, although they manage just fine with two outings a day. Playtime in the yard is when Dexter shines, especially when teasing larger dogs. They are well-behaved during grooming, and you'll find them snuggling in bed or relaxing in the living area. Both get along well with cats, other dogs, and are great with older kids who know how to treat them gently. Although Dixie can be timid around tall individuals, both dogs are friendly, especially with guests. Their current owners feel they are a joy and are heartbroken to surrender them. If you're ready for a lively duo full of love, Dexter and Dixie might just be your new best friends! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
