DIXIE

Female, mixed breed, 1 year old and 30 pounds

DIXIE UPDATE AUGUST 2026

Dixie has come SO far since that scared, skinny girl found nearly a year ago with her sisters. She has learned that it is ok to trust people, it still takes more time to trust new people but once you’re in, you’re her everything. She has learned that she can relax, that the whole world isn’t trying to hurt her. She has learned to play and share with dog friends, except for food (her food is her food). But she has learned to wait for her food and take turns with dog friends for treats. I think she will need a home with a dog friend, the seperation anxiety is still there when she’s all alone. She’s a smart girl and loves to learn new things (for food of course). She may never be that dog that wants to go run errands with you but she is such a good girl at home with the friends she trusts.

---

This sweet herding-type girl has a gentle soul and a shy streak that’ll melt your heart. Dixie is still learning that the world is a safe and happy place, and she’s looking for a patient home to help her come out of her shell. Around other dogs, she really shines — her tail wags faster, her eyes light up, and you can see her confidence bloom! A doggy friend could be just the thing to help her feel brave and loved.

With a little time, encouragement, and some secure fencing for her safety, Dixie will reward you with loyalty, love, and quiet companionship. She’s the kind of girl who may start out timid but ends up being your most devoted friend. 💕

✨ Give Dixie the chance to bloom — she’s ready to find her forever home! ✨

BETTY

Female, shar-pei mix, 5 years old and 65 pounds

UPDATE 1/21/26

Betty was in foster care for almost 3 months, and only returned to the shelter because her foster mom had a medical issue to deal with. Betty is hypervigilant, possibly due to some trauma. She initially is very shy and withdrawn, shutting down in new environments, however, when she first arrived in foster, it only took a couple of days before she came when called, and went straight into her crate, which is her safe space. She hangs out with a couple of the other dogs, but doesn't initial contact. Once a routine is established, she follows it without problem. She walks ok on leash, but again, is constantly looking around to make sure she's safe. It will take some time for her to develop trust in a human, but once she does, she feels more secure. She is able to bond, and has sat on the couch with her foster mom, putting her head on mom's lap. Betty is a home-body. The best home for her would be one that is predictable, calm, and peaceful.

---

Betty is a quiet soul with the softest eyes and the gentlest heart. Found abandoned, underweight, and suffering from skin issues, this 5-year-old girl has already been through so much. But thanks to some much-needed care and kindness, Betty is finally starting to heal — both inside and out. She’s still learning that people can be good and that the world doesn’t have to be so scary. Right now, she’s a bit shy and reserved, preferring to observe from a safe distance as she takes everything in. But with time, patience, and a calm environment, we know she’ll blossom into a loyal, loving companion. We’re still getting to know Betty, but what we do know is that she deserves a forever home that will love her unconditionally and give her all the time she needs to feel safe and secure.

If you have a quiet home, a gentle heart, and the patience to let Betty come out of her shell at her own pace — she just might be your perfect match. 💕
