Meet Pixie – Your Future Best Friend!

Pixie is a 17-week-old Shepherd mix with a sweet, gentle spirit. Initially, she may be a little shy, but she’s quickly learning the joys of playtime, cuddles, and companionship. Living in a foster home with multiple dogs and a cat, she’s learning important social skills and gaining daily confidence.
Both she and her sister Trixie are available for adoption. Her foster calls Pixie and Trixie 'the piglets' - they're adorable low riders who can best be described as East Texas mutts.

Pixie loves her toys and playing with her sister, and she’s already working on crate training and housetraining. As a growing puppy, she’ll need a patient and dedicated family ready to guide her with positive training and lots of love. Her foster thinks she would do best in a home with older children (12+) due to her activity level.

Pixie will blossom into a loving, loyal companion with the right family. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate pup to be part of your journey, Pixie is ready to meet you!

The adoption fee also includes the transport fee when applicable

ATTENTION PUPPY ADOPTERS:  You must attend training/behavior classes with your new dog unless you are an experienced dog owner and your adoption coordinator is comfortable with your experience.  This requirement is for the benefit of you and your puppy, so if you experience behavior issues, you have a point of contact.  

PLEASE—Think long and hard before adopting a puppy. Consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with. He cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours until he's older. Puppy-proofing your home will be necessary. Puppies scratch and nip, so if you have small children, can they handle this? Training will be so crucial in this puppy's life. Do you have the time?

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue. Our dogs reside in various locations throughout the South and New England.  

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
