About Dixie

Meet Dixie! This petite girl has a big personality. She truly embodies the phrase 'small but mighty.' Dixie is seeking a specific, dog-savvy adopter who can appreciate her quirks. Ideally, she would prefer to be the only pet and not live with children. This lovely girl needs slow introductions to new humans—fast movements or sudden attempts to pet her can be frightening. A low-traffic home with a dedicated space for her when visitors arrive would be ideal, especially over a busy apartment setting. Once comfortable, Dixie is very affectionate and brings her energy wherever she goes. Her favorite pastime is fetch, so have plenty of tennis balls ready. She also loves to run in circles carrying her favorite toys. Smart and a bit stubborn, she’s a riot to be around. If energetic companionship is what you seek, inquire about Dixie today!
