About Dixie
Dixie is a medium size english staffy/mastiff cross who is looking for her forever home. At about 16 months old, this young girl has a beautiful temperament, affectionate nature, and knows her basic commands. She is currently fostered with a young family and gets along beautifully with their busy 2-year-old toddler.
Dixie would thrive living with a family who have dog savvy kids that play with her and include her in daily life.
Dixie would also do well with another well-mannered dog for company, or with a person who simply spoils her with love and affection.
