Hi friend! The shelter staff call me Pixie, because I am a sweet little fairy underneath my Rottweiler (Lab mix) exterior. I'm only 2 years old, so I still have a lot of love and learning to do as I grow. Though my life so far has not been long, there has been some tough parts.. including some unkind people treating me badly. This makes me feel shy and scared sometimes when I meet new people or am in a new environment. Once I am given time and patience, I really shine! I am great on leash, love to carry my toys around with me, settle well in my kennel, and am the cuddliest 75lb lap dog you've ever seen! If you're looking for a lifelong companion that is loyal, consistent, and perfect for taking the edge off after a long day - please consider adopting me, Pixie!
