My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Dixie, a high-spirited and exuberant Terrier mix girl who arrived at the Mesquite animal Shelter on 12/16 as a stray. Dixie weighs 55 pounds, is approx 2 years old and is spayed. There is nothing subdued or reserved about this girl! In the yard she runs and plays, chases balls (but does not return them) and likes to climb on the play equipment. She has the energy level of a pup. She will jump on you so that is an issue that will need to be addressed. Dixie also loves exploring the yard and just seems to be thrilled to be out of her kennel stretching her legs. She loves and takes treats gently. Dixie is good on a leash but is a bit of a puller. This is a girl who needs someone who will stay committed to her, give her the patience and TLC she deserves and provide exercise and play time, along with some training. Will you be the person willing to provide these for her?
