Dixie ~ 9mo Kelpie X girl (on trial 5/6/16)

Dixie is a lovable 9 month old Kelpie X. She is very affectionate and obedient.

Dixie is a very energetic dog and needs room to run outside. She loves walks and would like to find a forever home with someone active who will give her lots of exercise.

Dixie has come a long way in the short time she has been with us. Up until she was 8 months, she was put to being a working dog but didn’t do very well at that. Since being with a family who has shown a lot of love and another dog who has taught her the joys of playing, Dixie has become a playful and affectionate dog.

Dixie would love to have another dog for company in her new home and a nice yard to run around and play in. She has not met cats or pocket pets so we are unsure how she would go with them.

Dixie is an outside dog who likes to come in for some love when she can. The kids love having her inside and she has slept on the kids beds. We have a back tiled area where she usually sleeps with her foster sister, Maisie.

Dixie can be a little shy sometimes and very loud sounds can still make her cower; however, this is becoming less the more time she is in a loving environment. Dixie is a beautiful, clever girl who deserves a wonderful caring forever family.
