DIXIE - CHIHUAHUA / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 400. Say hello to Dixie, a sweet 7-year-old Chihuahua mix with a heart full of love and a tail that wags just for you! At just 8 lbs, she's the perfect lap-size companion who's happiest when she's by your side – whether you're working, relaxing, or heading to bed. Dixie is a true people-lover and thrives on companionship. She'll follow you from room to room like your own tiny shadow. Because of her strong desire to always be close, she'd do best in a home where her people are around most of the time. She’s not a fan of leash walks, so she’ll need a securely fenced yard to safely enjoy her outdoor time. A quieter single-family home is ideal for this dainty girl, as she’s not well-suited to apartment living. Dixie would be happiest in a calm household with older children (8+) who understand how to be gentle with a small dog. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, companion who just wants to be near her person, Dixie might be your perfect match. Come meet her – she’s ready to love you forever! If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: .starfishanimalrescue/adopt/dog-adoption-application . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet! The adoption fee of $400 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.
