Dixie (A013721) is an 8-year-old, spayed female, red merle Australian cattle dog, and she remembers better days.  She loved to kick up her heels and dance and prance; now she hopes for a leisurely walk with a friend.  She used to be a serious scholar and learned to sit, lie down, and shake paws (left and right!); now she’s waiting for new games and enriching activities with a new pal.  She used to have a home; now she’s alone with her memories and so hopes for a new family to share new adventures.  This gentle, mature girl has plenty of life and love to give somebody who appreciates a seasoned gal.  Dixie’s not a fan of cats or small dogs, but we suspect she’d be fine with another larger dog.  And what she really wants is you!  Please come to the Bernalillo County Animal Care and Resource Center to meet this lovely loving lady.
