Dixie is a very sweet PUPPY. She is very energetic and would be best suited in a
home where she can run and play. She is learning her manners and has learned to sit (for treats) and will
play fetch. She is very playful and can be a little aggressive in play but she is easily re-directed with toys
or treats. She is good with dogs that are her size or larger. She is very strong and playful with other dogs
and the smaller ones tend to be afraid when she tries to play with them. But her interactions with larger
dogs have gone very well and she enjoys running and jumping with them. She is great with older kids
(likely older than 12). She does tend to nip (playfully) so small kids would not be a good fit. A fenced
backyard would be most beneficial for her so she can run and expel some of her energy. She is learning
to walk on a leash (she does great but tends to walk in front of you, causing a tripping hazard) and would
love to go on runs with her human. Dixie is very food motivated and smart, so training would be a must.
She really is a very sweet pup with tons of energy, not much slows her down. She’s not one to sit and
cuddle you on the couch, no couch potato here! She wants to GO, so an active an energetic household

HDDCR requires a spay/neuter contract by the adopter if puppies and kittens in our care are too young for sterilization. This is a form the adopter signs at the time of adoption, confirming that they will get the pet spayed/neutered by a certain date. We will hold a $50 deposit on top of the adoption fee until we receive proof from a veterinarian that the dog was spayed/neutered. The $50 deposit will then be returned to the adopter.​
