Lauralei Combs showcases today's puppy. Dixon is easy to leash but is so eager to get away from the barking dogs that he will pull hard to get away. Once out on the trail he walks nicely with you and is a favorite dog with our PE class.

He was treated at the shelter for heartworm disease in February so he will need to go for walks only until the first week of April. He is very treat-motivated and knows many commands, sit, say, down and shake. He is even seems house-trained!

Dixon's ID # is A646007 and he is in Kennel 302 of the Austin Animal Center. It is located at 7201 Levander Loop near the intersection of 7th St. and Airport Blvd.
