About Pixie

Meet Pixie, an adorable ~15lb Terrier mix with playful, wiry hair and a big personality. Pixie came to us after being found as a stray and never reclaimed. She loves spending time with people and engaging with toys. However, Pixie would thrive best in a home without children, as she can be startled by quick movements and grabbing hands. This spirited girl does not get along with other dogs, which can make walks challenging, so having a securely fenced yard would be ideal. Pixie needs a home where she can decompress at her own pace, and an owner who understands the quirks of Terriers. She’s looking for someone who can help her channel her energy in positive ways to avoid getting overstimulated. Let’s give Pixie the loving home she deserves. Ready to meet your new best friend?
