Story
Dixon is a 4.5-year-old cutie who came into rescue after being abandoned at a boarding kennel by his prior owners. He has settled into his new foster home and quickly learned the rules. He is crate trained, house trained, and understands the words “outside” (when he heads for the back door,) and “treats” (when he heads for the kitchen and sits, waiting for his reward). Dixon is a very friendly boy with people and dogs. He goes into his crate and sleeps there all night without any fuss. Of course, Dixon would rather sleep on a dog bed next to your bed or on the bed if you let him. Indeed, Dixon thinks he is a lap dog and loves nothing better than to cuddle with his humans. Of course, he waits patiently to be invited onto your lap. Dixon will need a home with a yard surrounded by a secure 6-foot physical fence. He is on squirrel patrol from sun up to sundown. When he wakes in the morning, he heads for the door at warp speed to get outside to see if he can catch the squirrel eating his nuts. He will patiently sit and wait for the squirrel to come down the tree. He loves to be outside and take his foster mom to the back door on “show me” so he can go check on his squirrel. While in the kennel environment, Dixon didn’t get as much exercise as he needed so he put on weight and is currently getting the daily walks he needs to get back in shape and explore his surroundings. Anyone adopting Dixon will be expected to continue that daily exercise. Dixon is neutered, current on his vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $400 which helps to offset our vetting and allow NBRAN to rescue more of these wonderful family members. If you are interested in making Dixon a member of your family, please visit www.nbran.org and complete the on-line adoption application form under the Adopt tab. Once the application has been reviewed, you will be contacted by your state coordinator. A phone interview, home visit, and vet check will be required as part of the approval process. Please realize that all our dogs are placed in the most appropriate home for their individual needs. We do not operate on a first-come, first-serve basis. Dixon is eligible to be transported through our canine railroad up to 1400 miles from Salt Lake City with the adopter being responsible for at least the last 100 miles.April 25, 2024, 12:45 am
