Meet A Dixie

Dixie is available for adoption. She is 9 years old and weighs 7 lbs. Her adoption fee is $550.00Little Dixie has officially taken over my house — and apparently, no one bothered to tell my two Yorkies that they’ve been demoted. She may be the foster and the smallest one here, but Dixie is definitely the head honcho. She is the first one at the door when someone arrives, the first one jumping up when the harnesses come out, and when all three are riding in the carriage, guess who has to sit in front? Dixie, of course. Tiny girl. BIG personality! She saves that big bark for one occasion — when someone comes to the door. Otherwise, you hardly hear a peep out of her. At bedtime, she has her own little routine. She waits for my two dogs to get on the bed, waits for me to get settled, and THEN she jumps up and finds the spot closest to me. Apparently she likes to make sure everyone is in their assigned seats first. But my favorite Dixie moment is when I’m in the shower. I’ll look through the glass and there she is…just a tiny little head staring at me waiting for me to get out. There is hardly a minute when I’m home that Dixie isn’t right beside me. She will walk outside, but if we’re being truthful, Dixie much prefers her personal transportation service — me. She loves being carried down the block in my arms, nose in the air, taking in all the smells while I do the walking. She has trained me very well. Dixie wants ALL the love and attention, which is why I really feel she would be happiest as the “only child.” She doesn’t want to share her person. Dixie is ready for her forever home, where she can finally have what she has been planning all along: her very own person, her very own lap, and 100% of the attention. If you adopt Dixie, you will never have to wonder where she is. She will be next to you. Always. If you have any questions about Dixie, please don’t hesitate to call, text, or email me. She really is a little sweetheart. Dixie is staying with Lynda in Fort Lee, NJ.
