Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Pixie!
Pixie is a very sweet little girl who lives to cuddle. I got her from the Humane society in May..all I know is she is originally from Tennesee...she didn't seem to know much about having a good home..she seems very enamored with my cat but my other dog not so much. I believe she may have had to compete for food and attention so it just isn't working..I love her and my heart is breaking but I live in a one bedroom apartment and having to worry about her lashing out at my other dog is not going to work. She sleeps with us just fine but I feel like my other dog who still wants her to be a pal is becoming depressed and avoids her. She still true to play with her to no avail so being An only dog would be her best situation. She is just not a fan of other dogs. She's smart and funny. She isn't as high energy as Jack Russell's are . She is on the small side...I just feel like she would be happy in a one dog home. I've never had her around kids other than on walks and she doesn't seem interested..she is fearful of squeaky toys, fireworks and thunderstorms...I'm not sugar coating anything..she is a sweet girl but she has her quirks..I just want her to be happy and I don't see that happening here...I have been struggling with this decision. She definitely hasn't had a great past and all I want is for her to be happy..I really do love her she can be most of the time a doll...
Pixie's adoption fee is $100 and is available in Milwaukee, WI.
What is a "Courtesy Cupid"?
Courtesy Cupids are beloved pets that need to be re-homed because of varied circumstances. They are living with their current families, and are not part of the Canine Cupid foster system. Due to the third party nature of these courtesy postings, Canine Cupids makes no guarantee, and claims no knowledge as to the accuracy of the information provided regarding the pet and cannot be held liable for any misrepresentation or misunderstanding between the current owner and the applicant.
Applicants must fill out an online application in order to be placed in contact with the surrendering family. Canine Cupids will only be responsible for processing the application and screening any provided references as a courtesy to the family surrendering the pet. It will then be up to the current owner and applicant to then communicate, in as much detail as requested, the animals age, health, behavior, background, schedules, eating habits, sleeping habits, play styles or anything else that may assist in making a good match between the surrendered pet and the applicant. Because all our Courtesy Cupids are fostered in private homes, an approved application MUST be on file before proceeding with a meet-and-greet. The online application can be found at http://www.caninecupids.org/adopt-.html.

Our Thoughts on Visual Breed Identification
Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable. For most of our adoptable Cupids we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We think it’s most important is to get to know each dog as an individual! We then do our best to describe each of our adoptable Cupids based on their personalities in order to determine whether they’ll make good companions based on prospective adopters’ lifestyles. Dog behavior is not exclusive to breed — it’s a complex mix of nature and nurture.
