Dixie's story

　　**Dixie is currently being fostered in Houston, TX. Which means, unfortunately, meeting her in person prior to the adoption will not be possible. Her adoption donation is $500USD, which covers her flight and she is fully vetted. Because vet care and flights are so expensive, the adoption fee is non-negotiable.**

　　Our beautiful Dixie came off the streets of Houston with a little pack of babies in tow. She was such a great momma dog to her babies, but now it is time to find her a family where she can be the baby! Because many apartment/condo management companies have restrictions against her breed, it is best to check about potential breed regulations prior to applying.

　　Dixie is a roughly 3-year old, 60-pound American Staffordshire. She is fully grown and will not get any bigger. Dixie is an ACTIVE and SMART girl who will be best suited in a family that can commit to proper exercise and socialization. She is amazing, but to be her best, she needs exercise and stimulation.

　　Dixie currently lives with other dogs and LOVES having a playmate. She is a patient girl, puts up with bratty puppies, and would be great as a single dog or as an addition to a family with another active dog. She does not currently live with cats, but a cat test could be arranged for potential adopters who have kitties.

　　Dixie has a great disposition and would be a great addition to a family with children who know how to be kind and respectful of animals.

　　Dixie is house and kennel trained and has done a great job of learning how to walk on her leash. She spends adventuring with her foster dad and would make a great running/jogging/adventure buddy for the right family.

　　Dixies ideal family will understand that she will take time and patience as she acclimates into her new life. She may have accidents, chew on things she is not supposed to, and bark in her kennel. It can take dogs a few weeks to properly acclimate to their new lives, so she is seeking a family that can give her this time and work with her on becoming an even more awesome dog than she already is.

　　Dixie should be adopted by a family who plans to keep her indoors as part of a family - we do not adopt dogs into situations in which they will be left outside for extended periods of time unattended (for example, the entire work day).

　　Dixie is fully vetted (spayed, microchipped, vaccinated) and has no health or allergy issues that we are currently aware of.
