Here's what the humans have to say about me:
FOSTER LOCATION: Boise ID
Pixie is a 10 year old purebred Cairn Terrier who came to Fuzzy Pawz Rescue when her human mom had to move into a nursing home where she could no longer have this bundle of joy.
Pixie is an amazing dog; she is partially blind but she’s full blast, not afraid of anything and always ready to go. She sometimes bumps into things but never fails to be very adventurous and happy to be wherever you are. Any new person is someone to try to get pets from and any new dog is someone to try to play with. She loves to play with dogs big and small. She loves chasing anything that buzzes by her. When it's sunny outside she loves to sunbathe. She loves cuddling on the couch. She doesn't panic when left alone and she's good in a crate. She rides well in the car. She loves the wind from AC and heater vents.
Growing old comes with some pains but you can't tell by looking at her. Over the past few months that she has been with Fuzzy Pawz Rescue she has gone through a lot (she had most of her teeth removed and had stones surgically removed from her bladder) and she's never given up; tail wagging even as she was just leaving the vet. Now she's back in good health and looking for her forever home.
Because of the eye troubles she does require daily eye drops twice a day; the drops aren’t bad in price and she is happy to allow you to put the drops in because it means you are touching her. She is also on Prion (cheap) for her bladder and takes it like a champ.
Pixie is good with other dogs and would do best with another dog in the house that she can follow around. She would do best with no cats in her home and no kids under 15 please. She would love to live in a home where someone is home most of the time.
Happy go lucky Pixie makes even the rough parts of life look easy.
If Pixie sounds like your perfect dog, fill out an application today at http://fuzzypawzrescue.com/adopt/adoption-application-2/ and his foster parent will call you!!
Pixie is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped.
There is a $50 adoption fee for Pixie
