January 9th Update - Vixen is potty trained. She knows commands. She loves people and gets along with some dogs. She does not pull on a leash, and she rarely barks. She is actually very low maintenance compared to most dogs in rescue programs. Vixen has short hair and requires very little grooming. She is content to curl up on a pillow for hours. I recently learned Vixen likes to play fetch! She drops the ball at my side and waits for me to throw it again.

Vixen's foster mom, Lindsay, loves animals and enjoys writing. She authors a blog titled "That Mutt" where she often writes about dogs. Now that she is fostering Vixen, many of her posts will be about Vixen and her attempts to improve her training and behavior in the process of finding her a home. Below are links to some of her blog entries relating to fostering Vixen.
