Our previous puppy, Hershey - adopted through a rescue agency whom we won't name here - became extremely ill and died from canine distemper just three weeks after our family adopted her. It was a heart breaking (and financially expensive) experience.But we never lost the desire to rescue another puppy, and visited Animal Welfare in Chicago Ridge, IL on an almost weekly basis.One lucky day, we met Dixie ...Dixie had been adopted from Animal Welfare, received all her puppy shots and had been spayed. Unfortunately, her adoptive family had lost their home and couldn't keep her in the apartment they were moving to.We adopted Dixie on the same day she had been returned to the shelter.Dixie is a wonderful, sweet, loving little girl. She's already a valued and adored member of our family.Dixie is one lucky dog - she gets all the USA rawhide bones she can possibly chew. One of the perks of i-pets.com being the family business!We think Dixie looks like she's a Rottweiler, shepherd mix - anyone have any other suggestions?Photos by Julie Corsi
