Dixie is a 3-year-old female Bluetick Coonhound weighing 67 pounds. She came to the Humane Society of Sandusky County 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 her. The Humane Society shows  dogs 1 to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1 to 3:30 p.m. Saturday.
