My story

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

Dixie Stix is a very affectionate 1 year old black lab mix. She is around 50 lbs at this time and absolutely gorgeous. She knows how to sit, loves to roll over for a belly rub, walks well on a leash, and is not much of a barker. She is crate trained and housebroken. Dixie does not appear to have had much socialization with other animals at this point in her young life. She can get along with other friendly dogs after taking a little time to get to know them so she can relax and not feel like she needs to defend herself. She does not pay much attention to cats until they try to get close to her, then she will go after them. However, she responds well to corrections to this behavior. At this time Dixie's biggest issue is being protective of her food with other animals. Her foster family is working on socializing her with both dogs and cats, and she has already shown improvement in just a short time. At her young age and with her sweet disposition we are hopeful she will be making many new furry friends soon! Dixie is extremely loving with people and would make a wonderful addition to a home with no other pets, or a home that is willing and able to help her continue learning to be a member of a multi-pet family.
