Meet Dixie!
Dixie is a precious 12-13-week-old Chihuahua mix who may need a little time to decide that you're her person, but once she does, you're going to have one very loving little companion.
Her mom is a wirehaired Chihuahua mix and her dad is a longhaired Chihuahua mix. Dixie is currently only about 5 pounds and is expected to stay a tiny girl, likely around 12-15 pounds or less when fully grown.
Dixie is the gentle, tender-hearted sister. She can be reserved and scared when meeting strangers, and medium and large dogs are especially frightening to her right now. If a bigger dog gets too close, she may scream and try to get away. She will need a family who understands that confidence takes time and is willing to let her come out of her shell at her own pace.
Once she feels comfortable, Dixie is incredibly sweet and loving.
She sleeps through the night in her crate but is still working on potty training. She's also sensitive to loud noises like thunderstorms and garbage trucks.
Dixie hasn't been around cats or young children yet, so we think an older-child home would be the best fit. If there is another dog in her future home, slow and thoughtful introductions will be important.
This little girl doesn't need someone looking for an instant social butterfly. She needs someone who will patiently show her that the world isn't so scary-and in return, she'll give you all the love she has.
