Pixie (in Foster)
Dogs – Lived with dogs before, so let's set up a meet and greet!
Cats – Lived with cats, test still to come
Kids – Yes
Pixie is a sweet senior lab mix with the kind of gentle soul that makes you slow down and enjoy the moment. She has one ear that folds down and one that stands straight up, so depending on her mood she can look absolutely goofy, and her foster says that face is impossible not to love.
She adores her people above all else, and she has the little routines to prove it. She loves a puzzle ball packed with treats, a lick mat with a little cream cheese, and the occasional lazy game of fetch when the mood strikes. Everyone here has a soft spot for this old girl, and her foster will tell you she is every bit as sweet at home.
Pixie has plenty of good years still ahead of her, and she is ready to spend them with someone who will love her exactly as she is. That someone could be you.

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
