Are you looking for a wonderful, sweet, fully-trained adult dog to snuggle with? Are you looking for a dog with no known health issues who is spayed and fully vaccinated? Look no further - Pixel is here!
Pixel is a 45 lb, 6 year old mix breed dog that we've had since adopting her at ten weeks old. She is affectionate, goofy, and loyal with a huge heart. She is fully house trained and doesn't jump up on furniture unless asked. She loves Nylabone chew toys but otherwise is not destructive in the home.
We love our little miss Pix dearly, but she has some anxiety that has manifested in biting our other dog, and she doesn't do well at doggy daycare either, so she'd do best in a home without other dogs. She has never ever shown any signs of aggression towards our young children. We've never had cats so I'm not sure how she'd do with them.
She would be perfect in a calm home where she could be a companion to an adult or a family with calm energy. She's so fun and chill and sweet, and just wants to spend time with her loved ones.
