About Dixie

Meet Dixie - the bravest softie you'll ever root for. Dixie is a 1-year-old, 35 lb Lab Mix with the gentlest eyes and the kind of story that sticks with you. Her first year of life was spent in a hoarding situation, kept outdoors and away from all the comforts of home. No walks, no visitors, no normal puppy experiences. Just the same property with little human interaction, day after day. Because of that, Dixie came into rescue with understandable fears and a lot of unanswered questions about humans and life beyond what she knew. And yet�'�| look at her now. Since being rescued, Dixie has been quietly and courageously learning what it means to be safe. She's discovered toys (turns out they're pretty amazing), shown sweet interest in playing with other dogs, and (most importantly) learned that human affection can be real, gentle, and trustworthy. Watching her confidence grow is nothing short of magical. Dixie thrives with another calm, social dog who can show her the ropes and reassure her that the world isn't such a scary place. She takes cues beautifully and finds comfort in having a steady canine friend by her side. A calm, quiet home and neighborhood and securely fenced yard is a must for Dixie - it allows her to go potty peacefully and continue building trust at her own pace without fear. She's crate trained (picked it up almost instantly, smart girl!), up to date on vaccinations, and truly trying her absolute best every single day. Dixie isn't a 'hit the ground running' dog - she's a 'watch me bloom' dog. The kind that will make you proud over milestones others might overlook. The kind that will form a deep, unshakeable bond with the person who gives her patience, kindness, and time. If you're someone with patience, a gentle heart, and the desire to be part of a life-changing journey, Dixie might just be your girl. Are you ready to continue Dixie's journey?
