Story
Meet Pixie People Lover!
Pixie is a little under three years old and is believed to be a Pit Bull / Bull Terrier–type mix (rescue mystery, of course). What she is without question is adorable, affectionate, and absolutely full of life. She’s got the cutest floppy ears ever, one spotted, one solid, that fold and bounce depending on her mood, a tiny curl at the end of her tail with a little white tip, and that big ol’ pittie smile that makes it impossible not to grin back at her. Pixie is truly joy on legs.
Pixie loves people. Like, really loves them. She’s the kind of dog who happily walks right up to say hi, asks for pets, leans in for cuddles, and wants to be near her humans as much as possible. Booty scratches? Yes please. Couch naps? Her favorite. Hugs? Absolutely. She’s social, affectionate, and would do great in a home that enjoys having visitors because Pixie thinks everyone is her friend.

When it comes to playtime, Pixie is all in. Toys are her jam — stuffies, balls, tug toys, chew toys… she loves them all. She’ll play fetch with you, tug like a champ, or zoom around the yard entertaining herself when the mood strikes. She’s got a fun, bouncy energy but also knows how to settle and enjoy a good, long nap once she’s had her outlets.
Pixie walks nicely on a gentle leader, which helps her stay grounded when exciting things pop up on walks. She can get a little amped at first (maybe sharing a few words with other pups on walks across the street), but she learns quickly and continues to improve as she works on checking in with her handler and staying focused. She enjoys being active and does best with regular exercise and a bit of structure, it helps her shine! She even went to a board and train where she made leaps and bounds going on pack walks and learning to stay neutral!
Dog-wise, Pixie is selective. She can be playful with certain goofy, easygoing dogs and enjoys social time in the right settings, but she doesn’t want to share her home. Pixie would be happiest as your one-and-only pup, soaking up all the attention and not having to worry about managing other dogs full-time. And no kitties for this girl, way too tiny and fun to chase!
Pixie has not officially been kid tested or been around kids much! So for now we’re guessing she’d be happiest with 10 and up! However with her people loving nature, we assume she’d be an amazing family dog!
Pixie is looking for a rural home (no busy city life) with an experienced, confident handler who enjoys being involved, going on walks, and continuing her training in a positive, structured way. She’d love a yard to zoom in, a couch to nap on, and humans who want a loyal shadow with a big heart and a silly streak. Pixie thrives on companionship and connection and would be happiest in a home where she’s included in daily life and never feels like she’s missing out. The more time you’re home to spoil her, the better!!
Pixie is not a “plug-and-play” dog — she’s a relationship dog. The kind who bonds deeply, loves hard, makes you laugh, and fills your home with warmth. For the right person, Pixie won’t just be a pet… she’ll be your best friend. 💗

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
