Dixby (TX) is a male Shepherd mix rescued in Texas. Our veterinary partner estimates that Dixby is 8 years old at the time of intake in Nov 2022.  Dixby is good with people and other dogs.  This senior boy was found living in the dirt abandoned by his owners.  He had little chance of survival on his own but we've rescued him and got him the care he needs to start his new life.  He  is looking for a family that will cherish him and provide him all the comforts of a happy life.  He dreams of soft beds and love. This boy is a DOLL!! Dixby is an adorable ball of energetic love! Though his past he endured neglect and heartbreak, he is a happy energetic pup! He enjoys head petting, love and playing in the yard and going on walks. His favorite thing is chewing on his Benebone and rolling around the rug! He also likes to cuddle on the couch, napping on your  lap or having his paws touching you, he loves to be with his family. Because he loves to play a fenced in yard would be best for him. He's smart too and learning his commands, he is mastering sit, wait, come and off. This sweet boy is so full of love even after all that he has been through in his life.
