About Dixie

Meet Dixie! This adorable 12-13-week-old Chihuahua mix is looking for a loving home where she can feel safe and secure. With a tender heart, Dixie may take some time to warm up to new people, but once she does, she will become a delightful companion. Dixie's mom is a wirehaired Chihuahua, and her dad is a longhaired Chihuahua. Weighing about 5 pounds now, she’s projected to stay tiny, likely around 12-15 pounds when fully grown. She’s gentle and a bit reserved, especially around strangers and larger dogs. If a bigger dog gets too close, she may bark or try to retreat. It’s important for her new family to be patient and supportive as she builds her confidence. Dixie is sweet and affectionate once she feels at home. She sleeps through the night in her crate and is progressing with potty training. Loud noises, like thunderstorms or garbage trucks, can make her anxious, so a quiet environment would be ideal. Although she hasn't met any cats or young children yet, she'd do best in a home with older children who can be gentle with her. If you're someone who understands the beauty of patience and is willing to help Dixie blossom, she’ll shower you with love in return. Dixie is in Fayetteville, GA and she's ready to find her forever home. Start the adoption process today.
