Dixie, Yorkshire terrier mix
Dixie is a female Yorkshire terrier mix being cared for at Priceless Pets Atlanta.
Dixie gets along well with other dogs. Priceless Pets Atlanta, however, thinks she will do best in a home without small children. She's already vaccinated and spayed. She's mastered her house-training etiquette. Dixie is a special needs pet, so please inquire about her specific care requirements.
Notes from Dixie's caretakers:
Dixie and her siblings were abandoned in a trailer park recently. They were dirty, scared and loaded with fleas and ticks. They are slowly warming up to us humans. She will sit on your lap when you pick her up, but she does not approach on her own. Dixie needs a patient and loving adopter who will reinforce her socialization while keeping her safe.
