About Dixon NEEDS FEMALE

DIXON - NEEDS FEMALE OWNER ASAP This 2.5 year old Husky/Rottie 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. In October, a 501c3 rescue invested nearly $3k to send him to a board-and-train facility where he has done really well and received excellent reports. Here's what you need to know about Dixon: The Challenges: --------- 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 people and until he trusts and feels comfortable around them, and *always* around men. He can be in a home with female dogs that are social and easy-going and medium to large in size only. He does have a prey drive so he should *not* be in a home with small dogs or cats. The Good!: --------- Dixon is attention-seeking and eager to please! His trainer describes him as very smart. He now knows all his commands, including 'place' (he is even trained not to go on furniture). He is crate trained, he's quiet (not a huge 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! He loves cold weather and snow. And, he does fine on leash. ------------ Dixon's Ideal Home/Environment: -Primarily female resident(s) in the home. If you are looking for a protective / guard dog, Dixon would be ideal. -*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 strangers, especially and always around men -Either no other pets *or* a med-large female dog that is social and very easy-going / tolerant -NO small dogs or cats -NO CHILDREN! -------- Note: Dixon is currently in Northeast PA so he will be transported to his adoptive home.
