My name is Pixie!

Pixie is a 3-year-old, 55-pound Pit mix with a heart of gold. Despite her rough past and lack of proper care, she remains incredibly sweet and loving. Her resilience and gentle nature make her a wonderful companion, and she's ready to share all the love she's been holding onto with her forever family.

Pixie was found as a stray roaming with several other dogs, completely neglected and suffering. She lost most of her fur due to years of neglect.  When we saw her we knew we had to step in and give her the chance she deserves. Her skin is already healing in a short time with care.

Pixie is so affectionate and very eager to please.  She knows some basic commands already. Loves children of all ages, even toddlers. Pixie also seems to be fine around cats and loves her fellow canine pals.

Pixie just arrived in NJ this weekend and needs a foster or adopter to come forward asap.  Her condition is not at all contagious and she is on the road to recovery with medication and a proper diet.  Are you the savior Pixie needs?

To apply to adopt Pixie please go to https://peace4paws.org/adoption-application from a laptop or computer.
