"My name is Dixie and I am so misunderstood.

I came to CARA as a puppy and I am mostly lab - if you know anything about my "people" we have a lot of energy we labbies, and all I want is a home with a big yard (with a privacy fence) so I can run and play. I just want to play and be with you. I have not had a lot of experience in a home so I need to learn my manners and I just need someone to have the patience to show me how to be a good girl. I like to play and I am good with most other dogs as long as they are nice to me. I am smart too - I can sit and lay down and fetch! I just need a chance.

Let me tell you some of my fantastic skills and qualities:

I can run very fast, but I love to run back to you when you call my name!

I play fetch like a boss!

I can climb chain link fences - I do not like them, this is my way of telling people I prefer privacy fencing.

I can catch a hotdog slice in mid-air.

There is really too much to mention about me - the best thing to do is come meet me and see if we can be friends! "

Every animal that comes into the CARA program is here because one or more events occurred that led to this animal needing not only a home, but a person or family to love and protect them. Each animal has been loved and cared for by a small and determined group of people who want nothing more than to know each animal is safe for the rest of his or her life. Thank you for looking to adopt!
