Dixie needs home by 1/31/22

Phoenix AZ

Description

LOCATED IN Phoenix, AZ Hi, I'm Dixie (shelter ID number #A4681559) 🐾 I am set to be euthanized 2/1, 8 am. Why am I E-listed? Simply put, I am STRESSED from living in a shelter with all the noise and chaos. It’s just not humane to keep me here in this condition. 🔥Dixie was seen being antagonized by her former owner while she was in a crate at intake so it’s understandable that she is miserable being locked up in a kennel. I’m a 2-year-old, female, white and gray Staffordshire Terrier (69 lbs.). My owner surrendered me because he was moving. He told the shelter that I was friendly with people sometimes need a little time to warm up. He also said that I lived with a 10-year-old boy, a dog and 2 cats. No problems were reported. I was terrified, confused, and overwhelmed when I arrived at the shelter in a crate. Within 2 days, I was “falling apart,” biting and pulling at the kennel gate to the point my gums were bleeding. When I’m comfortable I will come when called, seek affection, lean into petting, and play with toys. I pull hard on leash, but a harness modification to the leash helps me. I have been easy to take from my kennel and easy to return. I just need to be out of the shelter ASAP and into a home. The shelter says I need an experienced adopter, a family introduction, and some in-home training. I am hoping someone will come for me! Can you save my life? Love, Dixie❤ If you would like to adopt or foster me, please message me for more information or complete the form below https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FPP/Dog
