About Nixie

Nixie's journey tells a touching story of love and loss. This sweet pup recently arrived at Marion County Animal Control, having faced an unexpected separation from her family. After her fur sibling developed an allergy to her dander, Nixie's family made the heartbreaking decision to let her go in search of a new home where she would be cherished just as before. Initially shy and timid, Nixie is adjusting to her new surroundings, grappling with a world that's turned upside down. Yet, with a bit of patience and reassurance, you’ll discover the incredibly loving soul beneath her apprehension. Nixie is up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and heartworm negative. She will also be spayed as part of her adoption. Now, all she needs is a gentle hand to guide her back to a place of safety and love. Can you be the one to offer her a warm, welcoming home? She’s ready to find her new family. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
