Dixson - Hound Dog Available for Adoption in Gautier, Mississippi

Dixson is a 10 month old hound mix with springs for legs and love pouring out of every inch of him. Found wandering in Ocean Springs with nobody coming to claim him, Dixson hasn't let his rough start dull his joyful spirit one bit. This boy is affectionate, social, and always excited to make a new friend--preferably while giving kisses directly to your face. He's around 45 pounds of athletic, happy chaos and would absolutely thrive with someone interested in agility, hiking, or adventures. Honestly, this kid could probably clear a 4-foot fence without spilling his morning coffee. He's reportedly good with other dogs and kids, and he has the kind of bright personality that makes you laugh even on bad days. Rescue dogs like Dixson have this incredible way of appreciating the good things in life once they finally get them, and watching them blossom is truly something special. He's already neutered and ready to go home today. Come meet your future adventure buddy.
