Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Dixie is high energy, playful, lovable, and young. With her boundless energy, she would probably love to play with another dog her size. She likes toys so will play with a human in a pinch. She will get into things and onto things (i.e. furniture) if bored.
House breaking is going well and she hasn't had any accidents lately, but she is still young and could make a mistake if not let out in a timely manner.
She likes to follow you around and doesn't really like to be left alone, but will stay in the crate when her foster parents leave the house for a couple of hours.
She likes to climb onto laps, and has fallen asleep on the foster parents on the couch.
Sometimes she gets a little excited when walking and will bark at people and dogs, but the foster parents can usually manage it by distracting her and/or using her training.
Dixie did have basic dog training and does know sit, stay, down, wait, shake (hands), and settle (when she gets excited) with varying degrees of competence. "Come" is not an easy concept for her so we are still working on that.
At her age and energy level, she will need some discipline and a way to expend that energy. She also needs not to be left for long periods of time yet.
Dixie is spayed, micro-chipped and up to date on vaccines. If you are interested in meeting her our application can be found at www.homesfurhounds.org.

More about this rescue
Homes Fur Hounds Inc. was formed to help the overwhelming number of animals that are abandoned, surrendered to county agencies and simply unwanted. These animals are facing death due to no fault of their own other than not being convenient. Our mission is to help stop the unnecessary killing of animals. Thousands of animals are put to sleep (some more humanely than others) every day. We strive to educate the public on the importance of spaying, neutering, heartworm preventive and general health care. We also strive to help owners who are experiencing difficulties with their pet find solutions to their problems. By helping them find solutions we keep the animals out of the county pounds and from being abandoned. It is our policy to adopt out only healthy dogs and to do our best to know and understand what type of home the dog needs. We are always striving to find that “forever home” for the animals.
