Dixie is a peppy 7-8 year old medium-sized, sweet girl.  Although heartworm positive, it does not hold her back from anything. Her heartworm treatment is being paid for by her rescue group (4 Lucky Dogs Pet Rescue, Inc.) and she is available via a foster-to-adopt status, which will be finalized at the end of her treatment.

She's very calm in the house and prefers to curl up on something soft, preferably next to you and with her head on your lap, if possible. She is most definitely a shadow and will follow you around the house, but she'll gladly stay on her bed, as long as you don't go out of her sight.  

Dixie is still learning how to walk on a leash and loves to go on walks. She also loves squeaky toys and to play ball, however she prefers that you fetch it from her after she gets the ball. She encourages you to chase her to retrieve that ball!! She's also perfectly content playing ball solo, she throws it down from her mouth then pounces on it. She does steal dirty laundry if you leave it on leave on the floor, but just to take it to bed and lay on it.

She is no wallflower and Dixie may challenge a resident dog at first as she settles in, but she quickly responds to a firm correction. She is protective of her people and like any good guard dog lets you know when someone is at the door, but always greets people with a wiggle butt. 

Dixie is spayed, microchipped and current on vaccinations. She is being fostered in the Tampa Bay area with 3 other dogs. Her adoption fee is $100. If you are interested in adopting Dixie please will out an application on our website at 4luckydogs.org.
