About Pixie

Pixie travelled to a foster home on the 23rd February so as not to get left behind in the shelter. She is the only sibling in her litter to not find her forever home yet, and we’re not quite sure why she’s been overlooked, but hopefully now she’s in the UK it won’t be long before the right family find her.

Pixie and her siblings were abandoned outside the shelter in a cardboard box. Three of her siblings found loving homes in Cyprus, two in the UK, and one tragically passed away soon after their rescue. Before now, Pixie had never stepped foot inside a proper home before, so it’s a very big change for her to navigate. In just a few short days though she is making good progress.

Pixie is used to being around other dogs and often looks to them for reassurance and confidence. She can get a bit worried in new situations, and needs patience, kindness and time to adjust at her own pace. Once she feels more settled her personality really starts to emerge and she becomes braver and more playful. She is currently in a foster home with a resident dog and is getting on really well with her.

When excited, Pixie is clumsy with her silly paws and so wiggly! At the shelter, she always really enjoyed playing with her sister and the other resident pups she shared her compound with, so longer term we think she would definitely enjoy a home with another dog although we don’t feel it’s a dealbreaker either, as long as she’s given time and understanding to adjust.

Shepherd types are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and strong family orientation. These qualities make Pixie highly trainable and ideal for families committed to their continued socialisation and training. She is still only a young dog, so, ongoing introductory training will help her develop into a well-balanced adult dog. Shepherds are smart dogs, so without training and enrichment they will become bored, and it’s therefore important that Pixie’s new family can offer her both mental and physical stimulation.

Pixie is very sweet, cuddly and friendly with people and gets along well with other dogs. She could thrive in households with children aged 7 or older (and is currently living with kids aged 7 and 9, but prospective adopters should carefully consider the energy and dedication needed to balance young children and a growing puppy, as it can be a lot!

Pixie will do best in a home with a moderately active lifestyle and someone who has the time to dedicate to her training. She would prefer a home with a garden, and would rather live in a calmer area outside of the city so as not to find things too overwhelming,

Pixie is currently based in Kent and is ready to find her forever home!
