This sweet girl appears to be a Berger Picard (or Picardy Shepherd) mix. In fact, the Animal Control officer who reached out for help was affectionately calling her Winn-Dixie after the famous Berger Picard book and movie character. Dixie, for short, is approximately 1 year old, 40 lbs, beautiful, very sweet and affectionate, and good with other dogs. Dixie was picked up as a stray, limping with a swollen paw (she got possibly stung by an insect), and she ended up in a very small rural shelter in Oklahoma that is not able to hold dogs for very long. Dixie, who is a little shy but incredibly sweet, quickly charmed the shelter staff. She enjoyed hanging out in the office with them, going for car rides, playing with the other dogs. When we saw that she was running out of time, we just couldn't let it happen.
Dixie's adoption fee is $375, all of which goes back into offseting our high-cost vetting expenses and rescuing more dogs. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, fecal, deworming, flea/tick and heartworm preventative, heartworm tested if old enough (treated if positive), and microchipped.

Why are Sponsorships & Donations so important?
HUGS provides dog food, supplies, necessary vet care (emergency, acute, routine), heartworm and flea/tick preventative to the HUGS foster dogs while they look for their forever homes. This can be quite costly and challenging in many ways. Additionally, some of the dogs that we rescue arrive sick or injured and require hospitalization, expensive surgery or long-term medications or other treatment. This places a huge strain on our vet fund, and can affect our ability to help future dogs.
Sadly, without sufficient funding to transport, vet/treat, feed the dogs that we take in, we could not continue saving them. As a volunteer group that runs solely on donations and adoptions fees, we truly need your support.
