Pet of the Week; Meet Dixie

Dixie is a 3-year-old female Bluetick Coonhound weighing 67 pounds.

She came to the shelter as an owner surrender due to being anxious around small children. Dixie is a sweetheart. She loves attention and being with people. Her favorites are playing with water bottles, sleeping on the sofa and treats. 

She enjoys walks and does well on a leash. She is crate/kennel trained along with being trained on an invisible fence. She is fearful of guns and does not like cats. Does well with other dogs. 

Her adoption fee is $150, this includes her spay, heartworm test, vaccines current, deworming, heartworm/flea prevention and micro chipped. Her dog license is also required to be purchased for Sandusky County residents at time of adoption, which is an additional $20.75. 

Visit the shelter to meet Dixie. The Human Society staff shows dogs 1 to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1 to 3:30 p.m. Saturday. After visiting the shelter, visitors may then submit an adoption application for review. The staff does not offer same day adoptions.
