Cute as a bug, Pixel is a soft puppy, even cuter in person than her photos. Last week her ears were up and this week they have their little top flops adding to her charm.
Pixel (aka Pixie aka Pixie Stick) has been on lots of outings prior to the Bark in the Park event by hanging out at the park, heading to the pet store and learning all about pickleball at a tournament, getting used to being outside with new people, sounds and environments. Some of her excursions have been in a puppy backpack, some carried on to blanket to watch the world go by. All of the environmental exposures by her foster family prepared her so nicely for our event at Bark in the Park. She was such a solid pup at our booth.
Pixel's crate and potty trained. She's got lovely manners, knows sit, down, center, walks nicely on leash and is working on other skills too. She isn't bothered by nail trims and grooming either. With her final DAPP shot, she's now allowed on grass for more excursions on her 4 paws. When she's not sure of something, Pixel will sit for further direction when on leash. As a treat motivated little gal, she happily complies with what's asked of her.
Pixel's favorite toy is a flirt pole with a stuffed unicorn, captured on a short video and chasing her resident shepherd foster brother. Pixie loves food and eats everything with gusto, her favorite treats are beef liver and strawberries.
Pixel's happy to be out of the shelter environment and appreciates all the love. Who can resist this cutie pie? More vidoes of Pixel and our other adoptable dogs are at youtube.com/shepheroes. We'd love your views and subscription to our channel.
Pixel is living with a resident shepherd and easily gets along. Darling Pixel attended our booth at Bark in the Park San Jose greeting our visitors, snuggling with our volunteers and playing with Sir as they overlapped in their puppy shifts and also with Chester.
Although puppies require time, energy, patience, and love to raise, shepherd puppies require an extra level of commitment to raising neutral adult dogs. We ask that adopters interested in Pixel have experience with shepherds or similar herding or working breeds and the time and resources to commit to structure, environmental exposures, and training.
We are so thankful to our foster team, who love to help pups like Pixel who end up at shelters at a tender age.
As a foster-based rescue, ShepHeroes is always in need of fosters. An overwhelming number of shepherds in our local shelters need our help for a fresh start. Would you be willing to share your home and part of your summer to help shepherds find new families? You provide the love, and we'll provide everything else! Saying "yes" today truly saves a life. Complete this https://www.shepheroes.org/foster-form, and we'll be in touch ASAP! We appreciate your consideration.
