My story

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

(DOB 05/10/2020) Dixie has completed her heartworm treatment and is ready for adoption. We are only considering local placement (within 1 hour drive time of Wake Forest NC).



Miss Dixie, the belle of the South! She has a smile that is simply contagious. With her adorable head tilt and undeniable charm, she's sure to win your heart. This girl has the sweetest disposition. She is, also, smart and well behaved. She listens very well and will go into her crate when told. Dixie has very nice manners and is considerate of your eating space and doesn’t beg or bother you for any of your food. She isn't pushy or rushed to be let outside and will come inside the house when called. She loves daily walks in the neighborhood and wants a family that enjoys that too. 



While Dixie may have a preference for the company of women, she'll soon warm up to any gentleman who knows how to appreciate her strength of character and beauty. Count on her lovely personality unfurling like a magnolia blossom when she's with her favorite people, reveling in their attention and affection. As far as the youngsters go, children under 10 are a bit too much for Dixie and she prefers the calmer, older children. 



A true belle, Dixie is the perfect companion for leisurely car rides through the rolling countryside. She'll calmly gaze out the window, taking in the sights and sounds of the world passing by.  When it comes to socializing, our Dixie appears to favor the company of dashing male dogs over the ladies. She's fascinated by their confident demeanor but still maintains her undeniable grace and poise.



Her daily play and fun time can consist of chasing tennis balls while smiling and having a good time. She has that infamous hound-y nose and enjoys chasing rabbits and squirrels. If you are expecting (or not expecting) visitors, Dixie is happy to alert you of friends or neighbors stopping by. Once they come in, she is a very willing participant for belly rubs to entertain and charm her guests.



So, if you're seeking a furry companion who embodies southern charm, Miss Dixie is the belle for you. Prepare to be bewitched by her irresistible head tilt, captivated by her charm, and enchanted by her company. Welcome this Southern belle into your life and experience the joy only she can provide!



As part of Dixie’s $300 adoption fee, she will be spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this sweet little girl, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Dixie, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

1. Review the description of the pet you are interested in to make sure that the information we have fits with your particular needs and desires. In most cases, the information on the website is current and gives the information that we have about the particular pet. The picture of the pet does not tell the whole story.

2. Complete the adoption application at https://pawsforlifenc.org. Please make sure that you give us as much information about yourself as you can. List all animals currently living with you including other dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and rodents. The application needs to be complete in order to help us determine if the pet you have chosen is a good match for your home.

3. Once the application is submitted we will contact you, your references, and your vet.

4. We require a home visit prior to dog adoptions.

5. If more than one person applies, we will go with the BEST fit. If all things are equal, we go in the order the applications were received.

6. Once the home visit has been completed, you will be asked to complete an adoption agreement.

7. The adoption fee is $325 for dogs under 6 months, $300 for 6 months and older. The adoption fee is $125 for kittens under 1 year ($225 for 2 kittens), $85 for cats 1 year and older. This fee helps us to provide the necessary medical care and other needs for the pets while in foster care.

8. All Paws For Life NC pets are spayed or neutered if old enough, current on shots, micro chipped, and to our knowledge, in good health before they are adopted out. Puppies under 6 months of age will require a $100 refundable spay/neuter deposit in addition to the adoption fee and a special puppy spay/neuter agreement. Kittens under 6 months will require a $50 refundable spay/neuter deposit in addition to the adoption fee. We are all volunteers and receive no monetary compensation for our work with the pets. The adoption fee is used to help defray costs in the rescue and care of the pets.

9. Congratulations! You are on your way to having your new companion. We hope that you and your new companion share a life of love and happiness. We welcome any comments you may wish to give us about your pet at any time.
