Dixy

Meet Dixy!
This adorable "Snoopy wannabe" is a sweet mutt, who is sadly the product of irresponsible dog ownership. The family didn't sterilize their dogs and when the "oopsy litter" arrived, they were in dire need of help to place the puppies. Thankfully we were able to sterilize their dogs. We also helped place the pups, BUT there were a total of 8 puppies in that litter and we STILL have this little girl as the last remaining pup. She is growing up fast and in dire need of a family of her own, who will overlook her breed and welcome her without prejudice. Her mother is a Pitbull mix and the father a Husky, so we know this girl will be a nice medium sized breed when she is full grown. Our paperwork says she is a Terrier mix, but please do not inquire about her if you have an issue against the Bully breed in case she looks more Pitty when she is full grown. We can say she looks pretty dainty, especially her paws.
Dixy is fostered among many other ARWOB dogs, such as Bonny and Shay, in case someone is looking to adopt two friends. She adores her caretaker, but can be a little shy with new people. She would really benefit from finding a foster family that can give her some one-on-one attention and provide her the socialization she needs (i.e. outings that will help her get over her insecurity and shyness). Dixy is a fantastic candidate for someone who is interested in adopting her, but would first like to try our foster-to-adopt program to see if she is a good fit for their family. Either a foster or adopter should have time required to meet the needs of a teen puppy, such as a flexible work schedule and the ability to provide potty training, socializing, etc.
We have heard that Dixy's siblings are doing amazing and are growing fast just like Dixy. We just hope we can FINALLY find a forever loving home for Dixy before she reaches adulthood.
