About Dixie

Dixie is a sweet female Labrador Retriever and Dalmatian mix, arriving at 15 years of age. Her black coat and silvery-white muzzle reflect a life rich in companionship and love. After spending her entire life side by side with her pal Marley, everything around them is new and a bit overwhelming. Despite the changes, Dixie remains a gentle spirit. At about 50 pounds, she's house trained and does well with children, dogs, and even cats. She knows basic commands like sit and stay, making her a trustworthy addition to any household. It’s hard to imagine such a devoted dog like her spending her senior years in a shelter; she deserves a quiet home and soft bed where she can feel secure. We hope Dixie and Marley can find a loving home together. She brings a lifetime of affection and loyalty to whoever chooses her. Come meet Dixie in kennel 827 and give her the second chance she truly deserves. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
