Pixie

Hi, I’m Pixie! My owner gave me up because he fell on hard times and couldn’t care for me, but then I barely escaped the shelter with my young life! I was so scared but I still comforted my kennel mate. Now I’m with my foster family learning all kinds of things, like that dogs get beds to sleep on - plus, thinking about what I want in a forever home! I have a lot to offer, you see. My foster parents say I’m gorgeous, even if I am a little skinny at about 40 pounds. I’m heartworm negative and will be spayed before I go home with you! I was born in early 2023 so I’m about ten months old. I’m a perfect mix of silly and gentle. I’ve loved every dog I’ve met so far, and I only make a peep at night if I have to potty (beauty sleep is important, amirite?). I sit pretty to get my harness on and I love to wear my jacket to stay warm. I’m housebroken but still working on going whenever I get the opportunity (if you have a doggie door, I bet that’d be perfect!). My coat is super soft and I love pets and belly rubs. I’m also not destructive at all, impressive at my age! When I trust someone, I’ll lean my whole body against them and then flop over for a belly rub. I have a puppy friend who’s younger than me and I am the best playmate, I know he is working on his growls so I roll over when he does one. See? I’m a total catch. My dream home would have a nice person, a comfy dog bed, and another playful dog. My feelings about cats on my walks range from indifference to benevolent curiosity so far, even though I see my foster brother feels differently. I’m eager to please and just want to be your sidekick. This dog is ready for her forever home!
