Story
Dixie - 23321 - Kennel 827 - Arrived October 11, 2026 - Labrador Retriever and Dalmatian mix - black and white - female - 15 years old - 50 lbs - Spayed - Up to date on vaccines - Heartworm negative
Dixie has a soft black coat, a silvery-white muzzle that tells the story of 15 years, and a big, open smile with her tongue hanging out. She looks like a dog who has spent her whole life at the side of her best friend. That friend is Marley, and she is standing right next to her in kennel 827.
Dixie and Marley arrived at Cobb Animal Services on October 11, 2026. They have been together for every one of their 15 years, and everything around them is suddenly new. They are still adjusting, and in these first days they have kept a close watch on the parking lot. That tells you how deeply they feel things, and how much love they have to give.
At 50 pounds, Dixie is a gentle senior girl who is house trained, knows sit and stay, and is good with children, dogs, and cats. A dog who has spent 15 years learning how to live with people is a gift to the household that welcomes her. It isn’t fair that a girl who has been a companion for this long is spending her golden years in a shelter, and she deserves a soft bed, a quiet routine, and someone who is glad she is there.
Dixie and Marley have never known life apart, and we hope they can go home together. Dixie will bring a lifetime of devotion to any loving home. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and heartworm negative. Come meet Dixie in kennel 827.
