PIXIE HAS A BEST FRIEND NAMED KEVIN BACON. KEVIN BACON IS A CAT.  PIXIE AND KEVIN GREW UP TOGETHER AND LOVE EACH OTHER. MAYBE CONSIDER ADOPTING TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE. 
  May be adopted together or separate

Meet Miss Pixie! She is about 4 1/2 years old and has come into our care through very sad circumstances. Her mom had dementia that was progressing quickly and she was no longer able to care for herself or Pixie or her cat brother , Kevin Bacon II. 

Pixie is an even-tempered, friendly but aloof medium-sized dog. She came into her foster home a week ago, and we are still getting acquainted. When Pixie first meets a stranger in an unfamiliar place, she is very scared. She may sniff you, but she will not want to be petted or to accept treats. Once she spends a little time with you, she opens up a bit and will happily accept treats. 

Pixie's favorite thing in the whole world is to play fetch with her Kong ball. She could play for hours! She has wonderful ball manners and will bring the ball right back to you every time. When she has trouble finding the ball, she will stay on task until she sniffs it out.

Pixie sleeps happily in her dog bed inside her crate all night long. She walks well on the leash. She may pull a little, but will let up with just a word. She has done great with relearning to always potty outside. She does fine with other dogs and even cats, and she is not very vocal. 

While Pixie does not adore cuddling or much petting, she loves to be near her people.

Pixie does not get sick while riding in a car, but she also hasn't had many great experiences that resulted from car rides. As of right now, she will willingly hop in and ride, but she is anxious and shaky while riding. I think with time and experience of the car not always removing her from familiarity (or taking her to the vet), she would have no problems with car rides.
