About Dixie

Dixie is ready for adoption! This sweet, 2-year-old Standard Australian Shepherd weighs 37 pounds and has a gentle spirit paired with a calm demeanor. Known for her resilience, she’s part of the NOLA 7 and has come a long way from her challenging beginnings. Dixie thrives in a home with a confident dog since she gains confidence from canine companionship. While she enjoys playtime with other dogs, Dixie isn’t overly energetic. A fun game of chase lasts about 10 minutes, after which she prefers to settle down. She's affectionate and has a knack for collecting toys, often creating a cozy space in her bed. Routine cuddles and greeting her family with affection are part of her daily charm. Though she’s house-trained and familiar with commands like sit and shake, Dixie can still be shy around new people and environments. A patient and understanding adopter is essential to help her build confidence further, especially since she hasn’t been tested with children. If you’re seeking a loyal companion who loves to be near you, Dixie could be your perfect match. She’s up to date on vaccinations, spayed, microchipped, and ready for her forever home. You can meet Dixie in the Denton area, and the adoption fee is $275. Start your journey with this lovable girl today!
