My story

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

HOLD / PENDING Dixie is a strikingly beautiful, loving-every-moment-of-life, exuberant girl. She had been with a family previously who had to give her up, although they loved her very much. Dixie is cautious of strangers but a great appropriate introduction, she can quickly become friends. With her family and people, she’s just a wonderfully affectionate, playful happy dog. 

She is strong and does have some pray drive (will chase a lizard, try to catch bees etc.), so a person that is able to manage that appropriately would be needed if you intend to do a lot of outings. 

Dixie has a lot of training under her belt, which her new family should be willing and prepared to continue for consistency and continued development and to maintain respect for boundries. When she first came to our rescue she was very mouthy (not in an aggressive way but playful or this was how she learned to say hello or get attention as a puppy) she has been doing really well in learning better and more appropriate behavior.

Her ultimate favorite toy is a tennis throw toy. She will chase that top and then prance around, so proud of herself.

Dixie loves other compatable dogs and is a boisterous playmate so she is more compatable with dogs that wont challenge her but will chase the ball with her (but mostly let her win).
Her favorite thing in the world is the company and love of a family. She loves to hang out and be around her people -

She would not be good around cats and because of her exuberance, older children would be more suited.  

If you are interested in Dixie and think you might be a good match for her, please submit an application to www.lovar.org

More about this rescue

Lifeline Oro Valley Animal Rescue (L.O.V.A.R.) is a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit organization, all volunteer and no kill rescue striving to support those most in need.

We rescue dogs and cats of all types, sizes, aged and breeds.

Specialty: We also specialize in Carolina Dogs; Desert Dogs and fear dogs and cats from shelters, or the community.

Since opening in 2014, we have successfully rescued and adopted animals considered by some to be least adoptable- including dogs that are feral, senior, sick and injured, as well as those with behavior and fear problems, hospice and mothers left behind, as well as cats that are seniors and bonded pairs.

We believe that the systematic killing as a means of controlling the population is wrong and work with other stakeholders and the community to seek non lethal options.

LOVAR is platinum rated on Guidestar Charity and proudly participates in Shelter Data Counts.
