Meet Dixie: A Shy but Loving Dog

• 🐾 Dixie is a 2-year-old dog described as an absolute sweetheart who is currently a bit shy.
• 💡 She had a rough start in life, experiencing flea allergies due to a previous home with many dogs and inadequate preventative care.
• ✨ Once she feels safe and has time to warm up, Dixie becomes very loving and enjoys being around people, often described as a "Velcro dog."

Dixie's Potential with Other Animals

• 🐕 Given her past living with many dogs, Dixie would likely do great with other dogs, as they can make her feel safer.
• 🤝 Similar to dogs rescued from disaster relief situations, she may initially be nervous around new people but can adapt with time and positive experiences.

Dixie's Physical Characteristics and Needs

• ⚖️ Dixie weighs 34.5 lbs and is fully grown, not a large dog.

• ❤️ She is a "giant cuddle bug" who will be a devoted companion once her trust is earned.

Broward Humane Society's Mission

Advice for Potential Adopters
