Dixy is a precious 1½- to 2-year-old, 6.4-pound red-and-white Long haired Chihuahua mix who is ready for a fresh start and a loving family of her very own!  Dixy came to AFC when her family asked for help because they had 18 dogs. This is yet another heartbreaking reminder of why spaying and neutering is so important. PLEASE, PLEASE spay and neuter your pets! Dixy is scheduled to be spayed, but we are already looking for her forever home. Dixy has spent her life as an outdoor-only dog, so she is learning all about the wonderful world of being a pampered indoor pooch. She is currently living at the sanctuary and working on both housetraining and leash training. She will need a patient family who understands that these skills may take a little time.  Dixy is a bit shy at first, but she is a sweet girl who is surprisingly social and enjoys children. She also gets along with other dogs. She knows the command “Come” and is learning more every day. One important note: Dixy is an escape artist, so her new home must have a securely and adequately fenced yard to keep this little adventurer safe. She is currently vaccinated and microchipped and ready to find the people who will show her just how wonderful life can be. Looking for a tiny companion with a big heart? Little Dixy may be the girl you’ve been waiting for!
