Momma Dixie is one of our sweet, wonderful mother dogs.  She is a local girl who delivered her puppies 5 days after coming into foster care with us.  Dixie had 9 beautiful babies on October 18^th, and she has been a fabulous mother to all of them.

Dixie is a gorgeous blue merle color, and our best assessment is that she is an Australian Shepherd/Retriever mix.  She has one brown eye and one marble colored eye, which is very typical of merle-colored dogs.

Since her pups are weaned now, Dixie is ready to find her forever home and begin the life she deserves.  Our best assessment is that Dixie is about 3 years old and will probably weigh 45-50 lbs when she loses some of her “momma weight.” 

Dixie has a wonderful laid back personality.  She is a sweet girl who gets along great with her foster siblings.  She is also respectful of the young cat that resides in her foster home.  Dixie is housetrained and does very well riding in a car and being on a collar and leash. 

Not only is Dixie a very beautiful girl; she is a very beautiful soul who is just waiting for her wonderful new life to begin.
