Dixon is our 1.5 years old, Terrier mix and his story is a bit sad. He was moved from place to place, which on its own can be confusing and scary. Ultimately, the local police department wound up turning him in. Dixon at first, is shy and slightly nervous but once he is out of his kennel is a sweet, beautiful pup and at his young age, very energetic! He enjoys engaging in a game of fetch, and is just learning how to play with tug ropes. He is doing great on walks, but may randomly get jumpy. At this time he is recommended to a home with young teens, 14 and up.
