Dixie's Story
Location: Newark DE with foster <br/> Dog name: Dixie (affectionately Dixie Doodle)<br/> Gender: Spayed girl<br/> Age/weight: 8, 23 pounds (is on a strict weight loss diet with frozen green beans and weight management food)<br/> Breed: Chihuahua Mix<br/> Heartworm status: Negative<br/> Medications/Injuries: Just had a mammary removed, stage 1 cancer but clean margins (even for a lymph node tested and didnt spread), cherry eye surgery (they can come back),cyst removal (tested and was fine), getting teeth cleaned and extracted May 20th<br/> Good with people? Mostly great with kisses but nips if trying to open her mouth for a medication (pill pockets!)<br/> Children? No though she loves children she nips on occasion, so better safe than sorry! <br/> Dogs? Fine with them but prefers lots of attention <br/> Cats? Good with cats<br/> Other animals? Unknown <br/> House trained? Mostly, some rare accidents <br/> Crate trained? Yes, but doesnt need<br/> Energy level: Low<br/> Travel well? Yes<br/> Favorite toy/activity: Following her fosters lol She will play very gently with all types of toys<br/> Leash trained? Mostly but needs practice <br/> Fence required? No<br/><br/>Dixie is a very sweet girl looking for a patient, understanding home that can appreciate her little quirks. She recently had a stage 1 cancerous mass removed with clean margins, which is great news, but we believe its important to be transparent about her medical history. She also had a cherry eye surgery.<br/><br/>Dixie is not aggressive and does not bite, but she can be a little nippy when being given medication, so we are recommending an adult-only home with no children. Shes also still working on her potty habits and may have occasional accidents despite doing well most of the time.<br/><br/>Overall, Dixie is a loving dog who just needs the right family willing to give her patience, understanding, and lots of love.<br/><br/>She loves lots of attention but will rest quietly without complaint. If you want a lap dog she will gladly accept.
