About Dixie

Dixie is a sweet, four-year-old female Terrier mix, looking for her forever home. She's a gentle giant at 76 pounds, known for her affectionate nature. Dixie responds well to commands like sit and give paw, and her treat-motivated attitude means she takes treats politely. Already spayed and vaccinated, she’s ready to go home the same day she’s adopted. There’s no need for an online application; just come to the shelter to meet her directly. Although she's marked as house-trained, keep in mind her kennel environment means we can't confirm this fully. Many dogs just need time to adjust to a new home, so don’t let that stop you from giving Dixie a chance to be part of your family. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
