Who is that adorable doggo with the cute permanent puppy face? Well that handsome gent is me, Blaze! And believe it or not, at 33lbs, I am actually closer to 2 years old though my looks and personality remind most of a young puppy. I am a pretty energetic lad who LOVES being around my other dogs friends my size or bigger. Especially those big old labs I love wrestling around with in my foster. I could play with them for hours! I am still learning when to take breaks, so I might be too annoying for older dogs. So a confident dog friend who likes to play but can also teach me some manners would be ideal and needed in my home! When I first arrived at Pixie from Texas, the hustle and the bustle of inner city living was just so overwhelming and I wasn’t a fan of going outside. Thus, a house in a quieter low traffic neighborhood or suburb can help me gradually practice my leash skills and just be more comfortable for me overall. Having another dog as the leader, really helps me open up since I can be a sensitive guy at first, so being able to watch them confidently roll down the street may help me come out of my shell as well!  Being a Beagle mix, I do love those tasty treats, which will help with my basic training. TRAINING CLASSES/LESSONS ARE REQUIRED FOR MY ADOPTION! I am pretty quick to open up to my human friends over 12 and am instantly a bouncy ball of energy ready to play. Cute, sensitive, and silly, I am eager to find my family and starting playing with my new doggy sibling today! Fill out an application to set up a meet. I come to you neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped with an adoption fee of $350. 

Greetings friends! They call me Old Uncle Henry! But don’t let the name fool you. They just call me that because I have an old soul as I love to listen to smooth jazz, play BINGO, and take long naps on the couch. At 8 years old and 113 lbs, I am big fellow with an even bigger heart who absolutely loves being with his favorite people. As you can see, my back legs don’t work 100% correctly and I tend to trip over myself sometimes, but the vet says it is due to a neurological issue which just means that I won’t have any further complications from it down the road. It instead just makes me extra special! I can still walk around my foster’s house just fine and sometimes need an occasional boost up a stair or two, and thus I would definitely need an owned home and would have a hard time in apartment style setting. Things like long walks or hikes would also be difficult for me and not really my style. In fact, a few houses up and back is all the exercise I need for the day and then its back to snuggle times with you on the couch. I seem to really light up when around my animal friends and get along just fine with my foster’s kitty and also met a few Pixie dogs that I get playful with! In fact, I would love to have a mellow furry friend in my home to keep me company. I am a very friendly guy with everyone I meet, but I can sometimes be a little wobbly and unsteady, so a home with kids 12 and up would be best. Being a goofy guy, I am down to play here and there, but ultimately I am all about those snuggles as we watch some of my favorite black and white classics on the telly. Giant and sweet, I just can’t wait for us to meet! Fill out an application today. I come to you vaccinated, micro-chipped and neutered with an adoption fee of $350. 

Oh hi! My name is Rufus though they call me Rufus the Goofus because I am just a silly and lovable gent! At 10 years young and 55lbs, I am still a very playful Lab/Cattledog mix with a love of pets and an extreme love of food and tasty treats!! I am a happy guy eager to meet my human pals and other doggies too. In the home, I would prefer to live with kiddos over 15 and because I am little too interested in kitties, no cats in my home please! Though I am still quite spunky, I do have some old man hips and with the help of some pain meds, I have been feeling great. But I would probably have a hard time in a home with a lot of stairs, so a place with easy access to outside would be better for me. And though I would still probably try and go on 5 mile hike, short walks would be more ideal. I do still enjoy playing with my toys, with my favorite being two ball fetch!  I am still working on the “drop it” part, but with me being pretty food motivated, I will be easy to train! And forget what they say about not being to teach an old dogs new tricks. It’s a total lie and with your help, I can show you all that an old dog can actually do! I am an easy going chap who is very friendly and always down for some hang time with my favorite peeps! So let’s get to chillaxing and relaxing together today.

Fourteen years ago in the prehistoric early 2000’s, a rare, lustrous and unique gem was unearthed hidden within a fossil. Her beauty and elegance would make her the most sought-after Pearl of all of time! Who is this hidden gem you ask? Why, it’s me of course! I mean just look at my radiance and shine. Have you ever seen a happier dachshund?! It didn’t always used to be this way of course, and I have had my ups and downs. But with just a few baths and some basic medical updates, I am making great strides, both looking and feeling good! My gorgeous iridescent fur is even coming back in again. Happy as a clam, I get my moments of spunk, especially when it’s my favorite time of the day: food time! But then it’s back under the covers where I reside most of the day. Though my opulence makes me stand out from the crowd, I am quite modest, and get along with just about anyone and everyone I meet! In fact, even when the other dogs sit on me when I am hidden and tucked inside my clam shell made of blankets, I don’t let out a sound and just let them be. Being older and more on the delicate side, I would enjoy a home with older kiddos over 8, not a lot of stairs, and with someone who isn’t gone for super long workdays. Food, butt scritches, lots of love and attention are really the only things needed to maintain my shine. Simple and easy! And I will of course offer you lots of snuggles and companionship in return. Cheerful and sweet, your life will never lack luster after we meet! Fill out an application today! I come to you vaccinated, micro-chipped, and spayed with an adoption fee of $250.

Orange, round, and perfectly sweet, I am the cutest Sweet Potato you want to meet! At 8 years old and around 14lbs, I am a silly gal that takes a minute to come out my shell. But once I do, I am full of lots of cuddles and snuggles! My favorite things are food and belly rubs, not necessarily in that order. I am on a bit of a weight loss plan, but so far am rocking it! I do really enjoy my walks but can get pretty barky when I see those scary large dogs in particular. Thus, I would do best in a low traffic and quiet area, so I can practice my leash skills. Or even better is a yard I can trot around in instead! I am not a hardcore fan of toys, but if the mood strikes, I will definitely go for some playtime with the squeaky ones. I don’t mind meeting dogs my size or smaller, as long as they are mellow and less puppy like. Before I was in foster, I would hang out with the gals in the office as well as the Pixie office cat, and so a dog savvy kitty in my home would be just fine. When I do open up, I quickly get attached to my favorite people, so making sure I practice some alone time and independence is key, as well as being in a home that doesn’t share walls with neighbors. Since I can be a little sensitive, I would do best in a quiet and patient home with kiddos over 13, who will let me open up to them on my own time. Adorable, silly, and cuddly too, I am just a little dumpling eager to meet you! You know what they say, it’s just not the holiday season without a little Sweet Potato to spice up your life!

Smokin hot, this handsome pup is the best Brisket in town. Howdy! You heard right…the name is Brisket and as you can guess, I hail from the South-Texas to be exact. At 2 years old, I am a spunky energetic cattledog mix weighing in around 40 lbs. At first I was pretty mellow, but after settling in I became much more of a puppy than originally thought! So I am going to need some of the basics for sure and lots of commitment and stability, but I am very food motivated which helps with my training. Though I am quite boisterous, I am also a sensitive guy with some initial stranger danger, and it can take a little to warm up to new people, especially men. This just results in me being a bit barky, but with the help of some tasty treats, I will eventually warm up. This makes activities such as hikes, dog parks, going on trips, hanging out at the nature park very overwhelming for me since there are a lot of new people we may run into. In fact, I am in a foster home with a big fenced property that I run around all day with the other dogs and that really seems to be more my speed. Thus, I am looking for a dog experienced adult only owned home in a quieter low foot traffic neighborhood or even rural environment would be ok too. I really love to romp with my doggy pals and am currently in a foster home with a few. It is super fun and I really need to have another doggy friend in my home to help boost my confidence! No kitties in my home please. As you can see, I am a playful gent with a love of squeaker toys. Look how much they make me smile! Though I have lots of learning still, I am so worth the extra effort as we snuggle the night away on the couch. So grab the corn and the salads, but don’t forget the best part of every BBQ is the Brisket! Fill out an application today and we can set up a meet. I come you neutered, vaccinated, and micro-chipped with an adoption fee of $350.
