She takes her time when meeting new people, often needing a gentle nudge to gain confidence. On walks, she is progressing well with other dogs, taking her time to make friends. While she may initially hide when guests arrive, she’s sure to come around with some encouragement. Dixie is great about going outside for morning walks and also reliably uses pee pads. She seems to be crate trained and is comfortable spending time there. Her leash skills are improving as she looks back for reassurance. With a routine filled with walks, snuggles, and cozy blanket time, Dixie would thrive in a calm apartment setting, ideally with a patient canine companion to help her feel secure. Her foster describes her as courageous despite her timid nature, noting her ability to learn and grow each day. Dixie will undoubtedly make a wonderful companion. Ready to meet your new best friend?
