Story
Harlie is an absolute sweetheart. We taught her scottish gaelic and English commands. She is very food driven and intelligent. When we got her at 8 weeks old, we started training immediately. After we got her, our company decided to shut down the base in Austin. We had 5 months to decide on our course of action, which we decided to stay with the company and relocate to Cape Coral. As this was all exciting, my husband and I were working separate schedules, days (me) and swings (husband). Now that we have made the move and have been working a while. We realized that we will be on the graveyard shift for a lot longer than we expected which in turn, we cannot give the attention and exercise to a very active breed. We dont want her to feel like shes being punished and ir's not fair to her to be couped up in a house all the time. We don't have a yard for her to play in while we are asleep during the day. We love her but know she needs a home that can care for her needs.

Story
Meet Dixie - a 4-year-old German Shepherd/Corso mix with a heart of gold. Spayed, fully vaccinated (Rabies good through 2026), microchipped and on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. She's healthy, 101 lbs, housebroken, professionally trained, and incredibly obedient. Dixie doesn't get into trash, steal food, or have accidents. She's affectionate without being clingy, calm during fireworks and vacuums, and content being home alone during the day. She loves chasing lizards and lounging beside her people. Dixie has never bitten anyone and is sweet, sensitive, and deeply loyal. However, she should be the only dog in the home. She has a high prey drive and has had conflicts with other dogs, especially dominant dogs. She's fine with older children or adults but is anxious around small, fast-moving kids. Dixie deserves a peaceful, loving and safe home where she can be someone's one and only. If you're looking for a true best friend and devoted companion, Dixie is the one.
