About Dixon

Dixon is a 65-pound sweetheart who has come a long way from living in a dirt pen beneath a deck for the first three years of his life. Despite that tough beginning, Dixon has emerged as one of the kindest, most forgiving dogs you could meet. He thrives on canine companionship, getting along wonderfully with other dogs and respecting their boundaries. Dixon deeply loves people and showers affection with plenty of kisses. Kennel environments can be tough for him, making him anxious at times and causing him to hold back his true personality when meeting new people. Though he's never aggressive, he often needs a little extra reassurance. For those interested in him, meeting Dixon outside of his kennel is key to uncovering his joyful and playful spirit. Currently in foster care, Dixon is ready to find a home where he can share his affectionate nature. If you’d like to experience the real Dixon, reach out today to meet him in a more comfortable setting.
