Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Dixie has been with us for over 10 years now. She is a sweet girl and we love her to death, but we have a five year old son who is very energetic and doesn’t understand boundaries yet and she doesn’t seem to have much of a tolerance for him. Twice in the past two years, she has nipped at him causing minor injuries not requiring medical attention. We feel that re-homing her would be the best option since we now have and infant in the home as well. She gets along well with adults, older children, and our other dog, a pitbull. Both incidents involved our son getting too close to her face and we think she just got scared. We desperately want to find her a new home where she can live out her remaining years. She is located in Wichita but I am willing to transport her to wherever and will also provide her kennel, food, etc. In addition I will also reimburse whatever adoption fees this website charges.
