Playful Lab Loves the Kiddie Pool and Toys – Pet of the Week

Meet a pretty Southern Belle who loves to play, especially in the kiddie pool with her toys. Introducing Dixie, the yellow Lab! She's our B101.7 Pet of the Week with the Humane Society of West Alabama.

This young lady needs a THIRD chance at finding the perfect family! Don't keep her waiting any longer!

Miss Dixie is a 3- to 4-year-old female Labrador Retriever. She is a big dog, weighing 54 pounds, and she has a yellow coat.

The Humane Society doesn't know what has happened to her tail! It was either cut off due to an injury or possibly from abuse, but she still knows how to wag it!

Dixie was pulled from our local animal shelter, where she had been originally taken as a stray back in September 2014. She was adopted out in December, but her adopters returned her in April because they could not handle her energy and her size.

She had been BACK down at the Shelter for almost 3 months so we knew we just had to get her out of there.
Dixie is a very friendly dog. She is high-energy and gets very excited. She would be a great dog to take on hikes, run with or go walking.

Dixie will require a fenced in yard so she can run and play to get that energy out of her. She is a Lab, and this energy is very typical of young labs.

Just remember that a tired dog is a good dog! Dixie will make a great family dog but would do better with older children just due to her large size, which makes it easy for her to bump into and knock over small children.
She is good with other dogs but tends to be the dominant dog, so a trial would be advised to make sure they dogs do get along okay. We have started her crate training.

Dixie is up to date on her vet care, heartworm negative, spayed and is microchipped. She is on heartworm and flea/tick prevention.

Labs are such wonderful dogs that are loyal to their owner for their entire life – how can you go wrong with that type of devotion?!?

Before you watch the video, see the after math of Dixie's toy in this photo. Yeah, she really did a number on it!

She wants that toy so bad. Haha! Watch the video featuring Dixie below and see her love affair with being in the kiddie pool. She can't get enough.
