Hundreds of lost animals were able to find new homes after the tornado, but there is one dog that hasn't had that much luck.

"Dixie May" is a chocolate lab mix.

She was lost after the tornado and her owners never came back to claim her at the Joplin Humane Society.

Last June she was adopted by a family, but the new owners were unable to keep her.

She is now the last dog left from the storm.

Shelter managers say she has been through a lot and needs a good home.

Unfortunately you won't have a chance to adopt Dixie May. She's being sent to Chicago on Tuesday to a foster home.

Managers hope a new owner will adopt her there.
