Dixie was given to us because her owners could no longer care for her. She has bounced around from house to house and has had a sad life. Our shelter is often full, but when our vet tech went outside to meet Dixie and give the past owners suggestions on where they could bring her, Dixie begged for us to take her away from her "family." As you can see in her photos, she is skin and bones. You can see her spine, ribs, and hip bones. When we brought her inside and gave her a bath, there were feces all over her. Her elbows are calloused from being in a crate for long periods of time. They mentioned that she can break out of a crate, so they used zip ties to keep her in the crate. She has a lot of scars on her face from breaking out of the crate. 

Despite her hard life, she has so much love to give. She is so trusting even though she was dealt a bad hand. She is so sweet and affectionate. She goes out in a playgroup and loves to play with her playmate.   She loves to roll around in the grass and is a happy playful dog. Dixie feels like she truly has gotten a new lease on life. 

Dixie needs her forever home who will love her unconditionally and for the rest of her life.
