Dixie Belle

Mar 30, 2009

We are so excited for Dixie!  She got adopted last weekend and we got this update today from her new family.  Stories like Dixie's are what it's all about for us.  Poor Dixie was starving and doing her best for her starving babies when her owner took them all to TLAC (after a neighbor complained about them starving). We have another update from a family who adopted another one of Dixie's puppies that we'll publish in a day or two.  Today, we want to celebrate for Dixie.

"Dixie is doing well in her new home. She loves to play and explore and snuggle. I was drawn to Dixie by her sweet freckles and her loyalty. When I went to visit her at her foster home, she followed my every move, even running to the window to watch me walk to my car. Driving home, I knew we were going to be a perfect match. Now, a week later, she is a fully integrated member of our family.

She loves to ride in the car, chase her tail, explore the yard and cause mischief. Today we drove out 290 to take pictures in the wildflowers. She loves the car and naps sweetly in a sunny spot on the back seat wherever we go.

I am so incredibly grateful to Austin Pets Alive! for rescuing Dixie Belle and persistently posting her pictures on the web so that I could see her and she could steal my heart. I can't imagine my life without my sweet chocolate, vanilla and strawberry dog. Thanks Again, APA!"
