Dixie is a super sweet, well-behaved, laid back gal who can't wait to meet her forever family! General Notes | Want to adopt this dog? Please do not email us. Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP. Health Notes | Dixie came to Mile High heartworm positive (which is not contagious!). She has started treatment and is doing great. She is also gradually gaining much needed weight. Otherwise she's healthy and happy! Other Dogs | She is very playful with her foster brother (who is also a lab). Every morning, the first thing she does when she leaves her crate is head to the rug to wrestle him (after a quick stop for some love and scratches from the humans in the house, of course!). Cats | We haven't seen her around cats, so unsure. Children | Dixie loves the human foster siblings (and all their friends)! Training | She is completely potty trained (no accidents!) and is learning to sit! She is starting to learn some other basic commands, and seems to be treat-motivated. Dixie does great in her crate at bedtime and when the foster family leaves. She's a master at keeping "four on the floor," even when meeting and greeting new people. She loves to chew on toys, but has never chewed on anything she's not supposed to. Leash | She does pretty well on leash, and doesn't pull too much or very hard. She could probably use some leash training to perfect her skills, but overall, she's doing well! Activity Level | She's a very chill little lady, and is happy to just hang with her people. But she still has enough energy to roughhouse with her foster brother. Personality | Dixie is the sweetest little thing! It took her a few days to decompress and settle into her new home, but she comes out of her shell a little more every day. She loves to be with people, and follows her foster parents around the house. She's met a ton of new people (including lots of kids) and is warm and sweet to all of them. This dog is going to bring a lot of joy into her forever home. Story | She came from a shelter in Texas, but beyond that, we don't know much about Dixie's past. It is apparent she has had puppies (probably recently), but no more information about that. She also came to Mile High very underweight, but is gradually filling out. Dixie can't wait to meet her forever family and start the next chapter of her story. Thank you! | Adoption Donations | Our adoption donations are $425 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year, $375 for 1-6 years, $325 for dogs 7-10 years, and $175 for 11+ years of age. Purebred dogs regardless of age are $475. These minimum donations help to defer the costs of initial vet care, food, and supplies while in foster care that currently average over $500 per dog). Meeting Dogs | Foster dogs may have meet & greets by appointment to approved applicants only. To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process. Please know | Available dogs are updated as soon as possible and we do our best to keep it up-to-date, but occasionally dogs shown may become unavailable without notice due to a pending adoption. We encourage you to put in an application even if you don't see your new family member currently, as once you are approved, we can place you on the waiting list for first priority on the selection of the dogs we do bring in. That means you can often meet a dog upon transport arrival and adopt before they even make it to this page! We can not guarantee that a dog you wish to adopt is available by the time your adoption application is submitted, processed, and approved. Your application is good for 90 days from the time of approval for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle.
