Help me find this beautiful girl a home!
This is Nixie Ray. Nixie Ray is approximately 9 months old. She was given to us by a neighbor who only had her for about 2 weeks. I don’t have much information on Nixie’s past. She’s a happy girl but with some separation anxiety (likely due to having multiple homes in such a short time). Nixie does well with our other dog (male). She is skiddish around our toddler so we keep her separate from her. Nixie loves to cuddle, loves booty scritches, and is happy to see you every single time! She is not spayed and seems like she could be going into heat so we have been keeping diapers on her, she doesn’t seem to mind them. She is possibly house trained, we have not had her long enough to tell. We were told she is up to date on vaccinations but do not have papers.
