Pixie is a very loving playful girl. We rescued her a year ago. She was found very malnourished and skittish. She has really grown into her personality and is so comfortable and happy now. She loves playing under a blanket, loces tug of war, loves to wrestle and chew on antlers, and she loves to cuddle. The only thing is she can't be around other pets or little kids. This has been the issue in our home. We have another male she will not get along with and still goes after any chance she gets and she is still sketchy around our 4 yo. She is food aggressive at times but has gotten better. She doesn't like the rambuctiousness of our little girl and we've never been comfortable with them together without total supervision. It isn't fair to either dog or little girl and we really hope to find someone who will love her as much as we do. We hope to find a safe loving environment that includes no little kids ( she does well with our 17 yo). She needs to be the only animal in the home.
