Dixie was picked up as a stray after recently having puppies and found herself in a coastal Texas shelter. This girl has obviously known hard times and when contacted, ATDR quickly retrieved and placed her in a comfortable foster home where she's safe, warm, dry and doesn't have to worry where her next meal will come from. 

Dixie is a dilute red dachshund mix, that is gentle and sweet and was probably a very good Mom to her recent litter of pups.  Sadly no pups were found, but this sweet girl is lapping up the love and attention she is getting in her foster home.  Sadly, she tested positive for heartworms and was treated right away.  She was recently spayed and is recuperating in her foster home! 
Dixie is sweet and loving with her humans and tolerant of her smaller doxie buddies.  She would love a home to call her own, one with a yard and perhaps another dog friend.  She is housetrained and uses the doggie door.  

Say a prayer for our girl that there will be no complications and we will keep you posted on her progress!
