No home, no food, left Dixie feeling awful...Little Dixie was born under a porch at a tire shop, where her mom and siblings had too little food and too many bugs. Her luck changed when she and her family were rescued by Dr. Elizabeth. Dr. Elizabeth's friend Tracy then worked to find Dixie a wonderful home with an amazing little girl. This is the heartwarming, true story about a little dog who-despite the rough start to her life-ends up in the best home with a very special purpose.
A portion of the proceeds from this book goes to Tracys Paws Rescue which rescues approximately 350 dogs a year from Texas kill shelters. The dogs are rehabilitated with love and good medical care. When the dogs are ready, homes are found with loving families all over the United States. Over the years, Tracy Voss has rescued over 6,000 dogs. She decided to write about some of her favorite rescue dogs to help broaden the awareness of the pet overpopulation problem in Texas, saying "Through education, we can teach our children to have compassion towards all living creatures."
