Meet Dixie!  This happy girl is 3-4 years old and sports a healthy 90-pound figure.

We pulled her from a local shelter after she had been surrendered to them.  Even though she was covered in mats, her sweet temperament shined brightly.

Dixie Belle sits patiently for grooming while looking at you with her gorgeous dark eyes.  Then she'll lay across your lap awaiting more adoration.

Dixie does well with children.  Since she is energetic and her Pyr paw can be a little strong when she wants more pets, so she would likely do best in a home with children age 5 and older.

Despite previously living the life of a roaming country dog, Dixie adapted quickly to indoor rules.  She is house trained and crate trained.  She has learned to sit before meals and before going in and out of the house and crate.  She walks well on a leash.  She's hesitant to load up in the car, and needs a little booty boost to load up; then she rides just fine!

Her personality with other dogs is more of a dominant one, so she would be happiest in a home where she could be the top dog -- either with more submissive doggie playmates or as an only dog.

SPIN Pyrs are all in foster homes in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Potential adopters are asked to make travel arrangements if they live elsewhere. All SPIN dogs are spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations and on heartworm prevention. Please go to our website www.SpinRescue.org and fill out an application for this great Great Pyrenees!
