Meet Dixie, a delightfully easygoing canine companion residing in a shelter, eagerly awaiting a forever home. Dixie is the epitome of joy, combining energy and intelligence with a gentle, cuddly nature. She's not only friendly and playful but also comes house trained and leash trained (but a little strong), ready to seamlessly fit into her new home. Despite her excitable demeanor, Dixie remains tolerant and affectionate, always ready for a hug or a playful game. She weighs 65 pounds and likes fetch, running, toys, walks, chase, wrestling, and sneakily bolting out an open door. If she runs away while off leash, she'll come back if you call her. She knows the sit, no, and fetch commands. She was adopted and returned because of her behavior around other animals. Even though she is gentle, tolerant, friendly, and jumpy with children of all ages, she doesn't behave well around dogs or cats. She'll enjoy being your only pet so she doesn't have to share her "stuff." Adopting lovable Dixie means bringing home endless love and vibrant energy, perfect for anyone seeking a loyal and lovable friend. (tw 5/17/2026)

Foster Notes: Dixie is a sweet, loyal, and lovable companion. She is quiet in her crate, fully crate-trained, and keeps her space clean. She loves going on walks and walks beautifully on leash. Independent and content to play by herself, Dixie isn't needy - but she absolutely loves attention from her humans and never turns down the chance to give kisses. She knows basic commands and has excellent recall. More than anything, Dixie wants your love and approval. She is obedient, eager to please, and responds immediately to verbal cues because she truly doesn't want to disappoint you. Dixie would do best as the only dog in the home, as she prefers not to share her person with other dogs. In return, she will reward you with unwavering loyalty, affection, and companionship. She's the kind of low-maintenance dog who will quietly become your very best friend. (PA 5/9/26)
