Meet Blondie! Our Pet of the Week!

Mar 30, 2026 | News


As you might be able to guess from her name, Blondie is a fun-loving gal! Her bright eyes and perky ears reveal her happy, ready-for-anything personality. Blondie is a Labrador/ Blackmouth Cur/ Hound mix who’s about two years old, and she weighs just under 50 pounds. She was taken in by some kindhearted people who provided vet care and had her spayed after she wandered onto their farm as a stray. Since she’s been in our care, we’ve seen Blondie’s sweet personality develop, but she longs for a stable home.

In addition to being an all-around sweetheart, this pretty pup likes to maintain an active lifestyle. She loves to go for walks and play in water, and she even completes 360-degree spins when she’s excited. One thing that makes her really happy is seeing the people she cares about, so we know she’ll make a great family pet. Although she’s not a fan of cats, Blondie wouldn’t mind having a canine playmate, especially if they can run around together in a nice fenced-in yard!

Blondie is up-to-date on vet care, is heartworm-negative, and has been spayed and microchipped. She is current on heartworm and flea/tick preventatives. If you’re interested in Blondie or any other animals at the Humane Society of West Alabama, please fill out an adoption application.
