This petite 20-pound, 5-year-old girl was likely used for breeding and possibly research, as she has a small slice missing from one ear. Despite her past, Pixi’s love for people shines through. When Pixi first came into foster care, she was afraid of stairs, floors, and almost everything unfamiliar. In just under two weeks, she has made incredible progress. She’s learning how to “dog” by living alongside several dogs and a cat, taking cues from their calm behavior and slowly building confidence of her own. She gets along wonderfully with the revolving door of pet-sit dogs and absolutely loves the resident cat. Pixi keeps her blanket-covered kennel clean overnight and currently has free roam in the house with regular outdoor breaks. Her foster believes she is house-trained and she is also kennel trained. She’s learning basic commands like “sit” and “off,” while “stay” and “come” are still works in progress. Leash walking is challenging right now, and she does best with a martingale collar, patience, and encouragement. Outside, Pixi’s playful side is beginning to emerge. She enjoys running around the yard and has started engaging in zoomies and play with the other dogs. She’s curious and adventurous, so a fenced yard is recommended. She’s also beginning to show interest in toys. Pixi can still be startled by new experiences—thunder made her tremble recently—but she recovers quickly and continues to gain confidence every day. She’s curious about the neighbor children behind the privacy fence, though she hasn’t directly met kids yet. Pixi is a gentle, resilient soul who has already come so far. With patience, love, and a secure home, she will continue blossoming into an amazing companion.
