Daisy
Hi everyone. My name is Dixie. I am a beautiful, small 4-year old Treeing Walker Coonhound.
My life didn’t start out too well. For most of my first 2 years, I was abused & neglected. I was tied to a tree without access to food or water, except for what the neighbors brought over for me. The neighbors finally convinced the people I lived with to surrender me to a Shelter. By that time, I was almost emaciated. That was when my life turned around!
A very nice woman took me into foster where I lived with 7 other dogs. She says I am the sweetest thing on 4 legs. Then, I was adopted by a woman who has another Treeing Walking Coonhound and spent the next year living the life of Riley with them. However, my mom’s circumstances changed. She became engaged to a man who has a toddler, and I didn’t do well with the toddler. The toddler isn’t old enough to give me direction. So, I took advantage and tried to boss her around and do some demand pulling. My mom reluctantly decided I would be better off in another home. So, I am currently living in a foster home near Madison, WI.
I am very affectionate and people-oriented. I love lying at your feet or resting my head on your lap. I actually get along very well with children, but one-on-one, they need to be old enough to give me direction. I am an active girl and like to chase & be chased. I love playing with other dogs. My ideal family would have a fenced yard so I can run around & play chase & fetch with them without a leash. My ideal family would also be committed to working with me, acting as my leader and providing me with structure and routine.
I am crate-trained and housebroken. I’ve been to Obedience Class. I am up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, spayed & on heartworm preventative. I will not make a good hunting dog, but, with the right family, I will make a great companion.
