My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Pixie Chick!

Pixie was surrendered to Chesterfield Square Shelter by her family in the middle of a vestibular episode. As a senior without any adoption interest at a very over-crowded shelter, Pixie Chick was scheduled to be euthanized, but happily, on May 28th, Pixie Chick instead became a Frosted Face, and her safety and well-being will never be at risk again.

This sweet beauty is 14 years old and weighs 37 lbs. She has arthritis that causes stiffness, but when she gets moving, she doesn't want to stop! Pixie Chick loves being outdoors and going on our week FFF hikes, alternating between walking slowly and when she needs a rest, riding in a stroller. She is a friendly and good-natured girl who is great with kids, cats, and dogs! She is quiet, and you can scoop her up like a baby!

Pixie Chick's sweet and mellow personality makes her a natural choice to represent FFF at a community events with volunteers and other Frosted Faces. She is a gracious social butterfly, happily meeting people and stopping at every outstretched hand for petting.

Pixie Chick has been living in a wonderful Foster home since late September. Her foster mom shares:

"Pixie is great with our other dogs. She loves people food, we cook her two meals a day and feed her in between with dog food. We sometimes have to hand feed her if she's having a hard time with her arthritis.

Pixie will tell you she had to go. When her tail point outs, she needs to potty. She also wants to be taken out right away upon waking up,and she will be urgent about it. She occasionally can leak or have an accident. but she's upset when she does. She knows to go when outside.

Pixie has really bad arthritis and moves slowly and awkwardly, but she doesn't let that stop her from enjoying life!. She does like walking outside and sometimes will speed up and really get moving, but you need to be around in case she falls. She 's a super sweet girl. Lots of soul and spirit still left!

Pixie went on a long road trip with her foster family (including 4 other dogs) to Vegas, Mammoth, Santa Cruz, and Santa Barbara. She was a superstar travel buddy!

Pixie is looking for a loving and patient forever family who can help her thrive. If you have a spot in your heart for this gentle granny, please email adopt@frostedfacesfoundation.org to schedule a time to meet her.
