Pet of the Week, Pixie

Meet Pixie! She is an amazing little girl who's looking for her forever home.

Some of her likes include: ear scratches, playing fetch, bully sticks, squeaky snake toys, learning new tricks and hanging out with her foster brother!

Pixie is a clever little thing and she's most excellent at figuring out what will get her treats. She loves tricks and games like sit, speak, lay-down, shake-a-paw, sit-pretty, fetch and keep-away with her foster brother! She's still learning about walking on a leash and is improving daily, but still pulls a little. She has almost perfected house training and is amazing in an x-pen when she's left alone at home for a few hours; she will nap and play with her chew toys and not get into any trouble at all. Pixie also sleeps all night on a doggie bed and would probably love to share a bed with someone if her forever home lets her. As clever and well mannered as this little girl is, you do have to watch your shoes around her! She's mostly just a thief, but you never know, she is still teething! Sometimes Pixie will bark for attention, but is learning that this never really gets her anything so she's learning not to do it!

Pixie is a litte shy at first and will get startled at sudden movements, so the ideal home for her would probably be one with older children – she also enjoys attention, so usually gets over her shyness quite quickly. She also gets a long with other dogs.

Pixie's ideal home would be a home with dog savvy, kind-hearted people who will keep her busy and are interested in doing various training and ongoing activities with her. She has lots of smarts and amazing potential and would likely be a good companion for someone interested in doing agility or some other dog related sport.

If you're looking for a canine companion that will truly be a life-time of fun and games, Pixie's your girl. Don't wait and fill out that adoption application today!
