Hello,  My name is Dixie and I am searching for a loving family to call my own.   I might be 11 years of age but please don't call me old.  My age is merely a number however you would think I was a young sassy gal at heart with lots of spirit in my step.  I have no health conditions and I eat a regular diet.  I love carrots and fresh baked chicken jerky for a treat.  I love playing with toys, bones to chew are my favorite.  I enjoy chasing tennis balls around the house for physical activity and I simply do this activity on my own. I love a Kong filled with peanut butter and will play with the Kong for hours.  It is a nice treat and keeps me stimulated if I am not outside.  I absolutely love to snuggle and love lots of petting especially at my ears, head and face. I get along great with my large foster brother and everyone I meet.  He and I love taking long walks together.  I  love my foster moms back yard to soak up some sun or lay in the sun at an open door.  I am very gentle and passive and just want to please whoever gives me attention.  I am a happy dog who needs little care beyond the basics.  I know all basic commands very well to include "sit pretty", "high five" and "kiss for a treat".   My tail wags constantly and lets you know I am just a happy pup.  I enjoy going to the crate on my own to take long naps. I would be perfect for someone who wants a loving companion to go for walks or just have an easy going healthy pup to love. I am truly an easy going pup who just enjoys life and brings joy to others.  I haven't experienced living with cats except for seeing those who walk our back fence and I could care less about them.   I can't wait to find my furever home!

Puppies cannot be adopted outside of the Houston area until they are spay/neutered after they are 4 months old.

It is against the law in the State of Texas for a rescue not to be sterilized so we have to make sure it gets completed and that we have record of it.
