Story
Meet Dixie
Dixie is a gorgeous two-year-old black and tan coonhound. She was at risk of euthanasia at a kill- shelter until we brought her to the safety of our no-kill shelter. She is a gem!
Dixie is incredibly beautiful. She has a glossy black and tan coat, endless legs, adorable ears, and bright, intelligent, sparkling eyes. Dixie has a delightful personality. She is a happy, affectionate, sweet, friendly, and adorable girl. She is athletic and smart. Dixie is very agile and a good climber. She’s learning to walk on a leash. Dixie will thrive with an active person or family. She likes other dogs and may benefit from a companion. Dixie most likely found herself at a kill shelter because she wouldn’t hunt. Hard to know for sure, but we often see coonhounds like Dixie at shelters because they don’t want to do what they’ve been bought to do. Having met Dixie, we think she just wants to be a family companion where her only job is to love her people and bring happiness and joy to their world. Dixie has been quiet since arriving and doesn’t seem to be a talker.
If you’re looking for an incredible young dog to be your friend, companion, hiking and/or running buddy, lunch lady and travel girl, Dixie may be just what you’re looking for.
If interested in Dixie, please submit an application online at: https://www.charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org/page/dog-adoption-application
Once an application is submitted online, you will receive an email saying your application has been successfully received. If you don’t receive this email within 24 hours, please check to make sure all application fields were completed or please email us at smithgallhumanesociety@windstream.net. All adopters must complete an approval process which involves a reference check with a current/recent vet and a brief home visit if located in the immediate area. We do permit out-of-state adoptions. Adopters MUST come to the shelter to transport their new family member home. We do not ship, nor do we transport them to their new homes. Adoption policies and application procedures are detailed at the shelter website: http://smithgallhumanesociety.org/ under tab All Adoptable Animals.
Charles Smithgall Humane Society (CSHS) is a No kill shelter. Animals in our care remain safe with us until adopted. Resident animals are primarily owner relinquished and also rescued from local and area Animal Controls. The facility usually operates at capacity with a list of animals waiting for space to open.
Adoptions and meet and greets are scheduled by appointment only. Complete an application and someone will be in touch just as soon as they can. An application doesn’t commit you or us to an adoption, but it allows our coordinator to begin the review process.
