  Dixie, 2 yrs old Female Terrier  Mix
Dixie

Dixie is a two year old female terrier who was rescued by her family a year ago and they have worked with her, but feel she needs a different situation. When she first arrived, she was terrified of everything and very shy. As she grew comfortable in her environment, she became too protective of the household. She is fine with the other dog in the family and is tolerant of their ten year old daughter, but too nervous to have children running in and out of the house. She needs socialization in a controlled, child-free atmosphere. She would do well with an experienced terrier owner. She has demonstrated that she will bond well with her family and can live with other dogs. She is the dominant one of her current dog pack and is protective of her smaller terrier brother when other dogs approach. She would probably do well as a one-person dog, but will need to be socialized unless you want a good watch dog. We would rather see her get the socialization she needs. She is a young dog with a lot of potential and just needs to go to the right adopter. She is with her current owner and will be available to be seen by private appointment after your application has been reviewed and accepted.
