Dixie the Lab/Terrier Mix Is a Happy Go Lucky Dog – Pet of the Week

Meet our B101.7 Pet of the Week Dixie, a less than 18 month old female Labrador Retriever/Terrier mix. She's available for adoption from the Humane Society of West Alabama.

Dixie has a shiny, smooth black coat with white markings. She is much smaller than a lab, which is why the Humane Society believe there is some Terrier in her. She weighs only 37 pounds, and this is full-grown.

A little background on Dixie, the Humane Society pulled her from our local animal shelter, where she was picked up by Animal Control. She was down there for almost 3 months with no one claiming her, she was ready to get out! 

Volunteers say Dixie is a great dog! They say she is very sweet, loving and playful! A very friendly and social, dog who calms down very nicely. Dixie loves attention and should be great with children. The shelter says she seems to do well with other dogs and tends to be the submissive one in a pack.

Dixie would probably do okay in an apartment, as long as she has daily walks. She will require a fenced in yard if left outside any unattended. We have started on her crate training.

Dixie is up to date on her vet care, spayed, heartworm negative and is microchipped. She is on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. She is a happy-go-lucky dog that is ready for her forever home!
