Hi, I’m Pixie!

I am an active and fun girl who loves to play with tons of toys. I love my stuffies and frozen kongs filled with wet puppy food for my teeth. 

I run and play with my doggy foster brother until I can’t run anymore and then I like to curl up on the couch or my dog bed for a long nap. 

I am working on my housetraining and getting better at going on my pee pads but am a bit behind on this because I came into rescue with a bladder infection. I’m all better now and that is helping me figure it out but I might need some patience. I am fully crate trained. I sleep in my kennel for 7-8 hours every night. I only cry for a minute or two and then fall fast asleep on my blanket. I don’t like when my family leaves during the day too much so my foster mom makes sure to leave me something nice to chew on like a big bone or a frozen kong filled with puppy food. It makes it easier on me. I do cry as they leave but calm right down within a minute or two. My foster mom says it’s good for me to learn this because I am going to be a big girl.

I am good with other dogs but my foster mom says I shouldn’t go to a home with a very small dog as I like to play quite energetically and I am strong. I love to play with my medium sized foster brother or would love a big dog friend too! 

I haven’t met a cat but my foster mom doesn’t think I would be very gentle with one.

I am currently living with kids and although I love them, I like to chase them and nip so I would be best with children over 10 who can be firm with me. 

I am not a puppy for a first time owner unless you are willing to put me in time outs rather than physically correcting me as I like to nip back when I am told no. I am getting much better as my foster mom gives me time outs in my crate when I’m not listening. I am starting to realize my teeth are only for my toys. 

I haven’t been able to go for walks yet as I’m not fully vaccinated but when I’ve had to leave the house for vet visits I love going out the front door on my leash and I love meeting new people and other dogs. I am very outgoing. 

I am a fun loving and silly girl who would love to run and play with you and make you laugh with all my silly antics, then snuggle you during nap time. 
Do you think there is space for me in your family?
