About Dixon

Dixon *FOSTER or ADOPTER Needed ASAP!* This 2.5 y/o fluffy guy was within hours of being euthanized when he was saved. Once in a temp foster home, we learned he had some issues and needed professional training. Now, the facility desperately needs him to go to a foster or adopter so another pup in need can come in. ** He is coming up to PA on transport this Sat 1/8 and he has nowhere to go! ** Here's what you need to know about Dixon: First and foremost, Dixon is very affectionate, attention-seeking, and eager to please! His trainer describes him as very sweet, and very smart! He now knows all his commands, including 'place' (he is even trained not to go on furniture). He is crate trained but also not destructive when he's not crated. He doesn't resource-guard, he's quiet (not a big barker), and has good leash manners. He's very content to play outside in the yard and doesn't try to climb fences or escape! And, he's fine on leash when passing by other dogs, horses, and even deer. Dixon is very wary of men and will need to wear a basket muzzle (which he is now trained to happily use) when meeting new men and until he trusts and feels comfortable around them. He has not bitten anyone, but will growl at strange men because he is protective. He can be in a home with female dogs that are social and easy-going and medium to large in size. He does have a prey drive so he should not be in a home with small dogs or cats. -------- Dixon's Ideal Home/Environment: -Primarily female resident/s in the home -Experienced foster/adopter that can maintain a calm, structured environment as he is now used to functioning within a routine, and who is comfortable utilizing a basket muzzle when introducing him to men -Either no other pets *or* a med-large female dog that is social and easy-going -No small dogs or cats -No young children (respectful and calm older kids only) Please help us give this deserving boy the opportunity for continued success that he needs. His life was worth saving and if you open your heart and home to give him a chance, we'll know you'll agree!
