About Pixie

What an incredible journey Pixie has had! Brought all the way from a high-kill shelter in Texas to Colorado, she narrowly escaped euthanasia, making her rescue story truly remarkable. If you are interested in hearing the details, her foster would love to tell you about it! Pixie, a petite 2-year-old Pittie mix, is a delightful presence with her lovable face and the sweetest big brown eyes. At a gentle weight of 35 pounds, she embodies charm and grace in a compact package. Pixie is truly a joyous and affectionate soul, radiating happiness and love with every wag of her tail. The fact that she grins when petted or talked to adds a special touch to her endearing nature. It speaks volumes about Pixie's resilience and her ability to find joy in human connection despite her challenging past. Pixie's initial experiences in the shelter revealed her hesitation and lack of socialization, as evidenced by freezing with raised hackles in a playgroup setting. Despite not initiating play, it's noteworthy that she didn't display aggression. The signs of fear reactivity on the leash with her foster or when she sees another dog (which can look aggressive), however, suggest a history of limited interaction, possibly as a backyard dog with minimal exposure to people and other dogs. She's barking and lunging, but also wagging her tail. Pixie's foster family has recognized her need for an invested owner, and with the guidance of a trainer, she has the potential to develop excellent social skills and learn the boundaries necessary for positive interactions with other dogs. Additionally, continuing her basic obedience training will contribute to her overall growth and well-being. Pixie's potential for growth, both in terms of social skills and overall well-being, shines through. A family that can provide her with the love, patience, and dedication she deserves will undoubtedly be fortunate to have such an amazing addition to their home. Pixie's love for kids adds another layer to her endearing personality. She is an ideal companion for families with older children. Her quick grasp of house-training, with only two accidents, and her exceptional behavior in the crate highlight her eagerness to learn and please. She is currently learning to sit and wait before going through doors. A true food enthusiast, Pixie's heart is easily won over with treats. Her high energy level and playful nature make her an excellent candidate for a hiking or running buddy, ready to accompany you on outdoor adventures. However, during quieter moments and when a more relaxed atmosphere is desired, Pixie transforms into the perfect couch buddy. Pixie's favorite pastimes include giving kisses, playing with her stuffies, relishing tummy rubs, observing her humans, and cuddling with anyone willing. As Pixie eagerly awaits her forever family, she brings with her a heart full of gratitude for the second chance she's been given. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this thankful pup, Pixie is poised to fill your life with joy, companionship, and love. Will you be her 'furever' home?
