Gov. Kay Ivey has introduced Huntley, the new First Dog of Alabama.

Huntley is a three-year-old, female yellow Labrador retriever.

“Huntley is amazing, and I am excited to introduce her to my fellow Alabamians,” Gov. Ivey said in a statement. “She and I enjoy practicing her commands and tricks, playing with her toys, and we have even had a chance to break away for a weekend at the lake. Huntley very quickly adjusted to life at the Governor’s Mansion, and she is loving it!”

Huntley resides with Gov. Ivey in the Alabama Governor’s Mansion. She will even have the opportunity to occasionally join Gov. Ivey in her Capitol Office, according to the Governor’s Office.

As Action 8 News has reported, Gov. Ivey’s dog Missy, died in April. She was a collie mix and was about 10 years old. Gov. Ivey adopted her from the Montgomery Humane Society in 2019.
