Dixon -- ADOPTED!!!!!

Sweet little Dixon is an older puppy that has also been at the shelter a surprisingly long time. I've had the great pleasure of walking him on a few occasions and every time he seems to get sweeter and funnier.

Look at that happy face!

Dixon loves affection and will offer kisses. He gets a bit squirmy when you pick him up still because he has some puppy energy. As soon as you put him down he does these cute little sprints around which made me laugh!

Patient Dixon waiting for his treats!


He is working on his commands and has "sit" down very nicely. He is very food/hot dog motivated which makes him easy to train. He definitely wants to get his treat and we worked on "sit" and "come".

Mission obedience accomplish!


He is not a big jumper which is nice, and he didn't jump up on either of us, even in his kennel when we first put his leash on. He's a bit nervous about jumping up on the benches as he doesn't know if he can quite "make it" yet. This of course bodes well for preserving furniture and nice things as he seems to want to wait until he's absolutely sure you want him up there with you!

Play time!


Dixon is playful and likes toys, but as with many puppies, he often gets distracted from one toy with another or with a smell of some kind. He especially likes his rope toy :-) He also does very nicely with other dogs!


Running for more toys!

He is such a super sweet, loving, handsome boy. He does so well on his walks and really seems to enjoy people. He will definitely form a strong bond with his human, and whomever that is, is a very lucky human indeed!

Puppy grin.
