Notes from Northern California Sled Dog Rescue

Meet Pixie — Your Dream Dog Is Waiting!

Some dogs have a way of capturing your heart almost immediately, and Pixie is one of them!

This beautiful girl spent 6–8 weeks on her own in Stockton, living alongside other dogs in a large park. Despite her difficult start, she warms up to people quickly and is wonderfully charming, friendly, and affectionate. She’s also incredibly smart and picks up commands quickly — a girl with beauty and brains!

Pixie has already shown what a lovely companion she can be. At her foster home, she happily slept in bed with her foster and the other dogs. She gets along beautifully with canine friends and loves to play. She’s the kind of dog who seems to understand that life is finally getting better, and she’s ready to embrace every bit of it.

Because Pixie spent time living on the streets, she’ll need some patient guidance as she learns to navigate leash walks and the hustle and bustle of everyday life. But at just about 10 months old, she’s at the perfect age to learn, grow, and blossom into an incredible companion. With a little encouragement, consistency, and love, she’ll be ready to take on the world — and bond so deeply with her person that it will be hard to imagine she ever had a different life.

Pixie is about 10 months old, weighing in at around 55 pounds, and she carries her size elegantly.

We simply cannot say enough wonderful things about this sweet girl. She’s beautiful, bright, social, playful, and full of promise. Now she needs someone willing to help her discover just how wonderful life can be.

Come meet Pixie! We think you’ll fall in love, too, and understand why everyone who meets her agrees: this girl is truly one of a kind.
