My name is Pixie in KY - Sweet, Docile & Loving!!

Sweet, lovable Pixie is just a youngster, ready to find her perfect forever home. She is as amazing as she is beautiful. From the moment she walked into her foster home, she fit right in, instantly loved by the entire family. Pixie is currently living with big and small dogs, children, and cats. She loves people and is very gentle with the small children at home. In her foster mama’s words: “Oh my goodness, the more we have Pixie the sweeter she is!! Pixie is SO docile and loving.” She is very sociable with everyone she meets. Pixie is crate trained and is learning leash skills. She loves to walk through the fields, running with the children and other dogs. Pixie is very respectful of the resident dogs who have had such a positive influence on her. She is very attentive to the puppies also in her foster home, taking special care in play with them. She loves to lay in the grass in the sunshine, and to get her head scratched. Pixie would love a home with a canine brother, a secure fenced yard to patrol and play in, and a family to continue her training and provide her with the love and attention she so deserves. Pixie will be a devoted companion to any family.

NYS Registered Rescue # RR102

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
