Life’s magical with Pixie!

Greetings! I’m Pixie, a 1 year old Shepherd mix, and I’m here to sprinkle a little bit of magic into your life! I may not have wings, but with my playful energy, you’d think I could fly! Originally, I came from the Tootsie litter but was relinquished when the older dog in my first home developed a heart condition. Now, I’m on the hunt for my furever home—a place where I can run, play, and cuddle to my heart’s content.

I’m great with other dogs, and I absolutely love to frolic in the water—whether it’s the beach or a splash pad, I’m all in! My favorite things include going on long walks or runs, chasing after chew toys, and of course, curling up next to you on the couch.

I have a little bit of puppy magic left in me, which means I can be high-energy when it’s time for fun, but I’m also perfectly content to relax and nap throughout the day. I’m potty trained and doing well on the leash though I could use a little extra guidance there. Sometimes I get a bit anxious when you leave (just a tiny whimper—no big deal!), but I settle down quickly. Oh, and while I adore kids, I’m still mastering the art of not jumping, so a home with older children (10+) would be ideal.

Why adopt me? Because I’m not just any pup—I’m a clever, playful, and incredibly loving companion who’s ready to join you on all of your adventures. I’m a fast learner, and with a little guidance, I’ll become the most enchanting part of your family. If you’re active, enjoy the outdoors, and want a loyal companion who will bring a bit of pixie dust to your life, look no further!

My adoption fee is $500 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip. If you want to take me home, please fill out the form on the website here: https://theanimalpad.org/adoption-application/
