Meet the lovely Dixie! This gentle 5-year-old black Labrador is a heartwarming bundle of joy packed with love and a bit of emotional baggage. Just think of her as your bright star who’s looking for a safe space to shine again! ⭐️ Dixie has a soft heart, especially for kids—oh, how she adores them! 🧒❤️ Living peacefully with a cat, she’s the perfect snuggle buddy. But let’s be real, this darling girl has been through some tough times. Her original guardian passed away suddenly, leaving Dixie feeling a bit scared and confused. Imagine trying to find your footing in a world that suddenly feels strange! 😢 While she’s still navigating those emotional ripples, there’s a particular person in her new home who makes her feel a little uneasy. But fear not! Dixie’s not a biter; she expresses her feelings through some gentle barking and occasional shakiness when unsure. She’s simply a sensitive soul seeking a consistent, loving environment. 💖 When feeling safe, she transforms into a tail-wagging cuddle machine, just begging for belly rubs and cozy snuggles. She thrives on calm, loving energy and genuinely wants to share her heart with the right family. Having stayed with other dogs and having visited doggy daycare, she knows how to play well with others! 🎾 At about 75 lbs of pure love, Dixie is ready to find her forever home where she feels secure once more. If you think you can be the soft landing she’s been dreaming of, or if you want to learn even more about this sweetheart, it’s time to take action! **Make sure to apply through the Buddy App** to show Dixie that love and safety do exist. 🐾
