Dixie – In Foster – North West
Dixie
Please welcome 3 year old Dixie into our Springboard family
Sadly Dixie had had 3 homes by the time he was a year old, but when he found his last owner it was always supposed to be forever and they have enjoyed nearly 3 wonderful years together
However, life throws us lemons and because of a change in circumstances Dixie was no longer able to stay with his owner
The owner has spent many weeks trying to find the right place for Dixie, somewhere where he would be safe with someone who would make sure his beloved boy would always be loved and looked after. So when we were approached, there was only one answer we could give – and it was a YES
At the weekend Dixie was collected for us by Tracey Aroney who has agreed to foster Dixie for us in the North West. Massive thank you to you Tracey, we are very happy to have you on board as a foster, and we hope you will enjoy the experience
Dixie arrived and has been a bit unsettled, but he is bonding with Tracey’s other dog Bella and today has been a bit of a turning point
As you will see Dixie is a bit of a ‘gorgeous chonky’ and this has exacerbated an infection in his tail pocket. He has started a diet, and we are hopeful that he wont need his tail removed and that with weight loss we can keep his tail pocket clean, but we can’t rule out surgery in the future
Dixie will be having his vet check and once he has lost some weight, we will discuss his neuter but for now, he is loving life and enjoying Bella’s company
So please welcome this sweetheart of a dog, who hasn’t done anything wrong but need’s the love and support of our family to start the next part of his journey – welcome Dixie
