About Pixie

Meet Pixie, a spirited 9-week-old female Australian Cattle Dog puppy. She came into the rescue with her siblings after an overcrowded shelter in Georgia opened its doors for her family. With her charming personality, Pixie thrives on playing with both her siblings and her older foster brother, enjoying a typical puppy's lively energy. Pixie is already crate trained at night and has mastered sleeping through the night without messes. Occasionally, she even puts herself to bed in her crate, showcasing her cleverness. House training during the day is in progress, and she loves being around other dogs, making her ideal for a home with a canine companion. She is also friendly with both younger and senior cats. This little adventurer has an engaging and enthusiastic spirit, greeting both humans and other dogs with gusto. When first meeting someone, she has a magical way of melting into their lap. It's important to provide Pixie with a home where she can stay mentally and physically stimulated, preferably one that won't keep her crated for extended periods. She will be adopted out with a spay contract, and she's about 13 pounds, microchipped, and ready for her new adventure. Get ready to fall in love!
