Pixie - Maltese and Poodle Dog for Adoption in Millcreek, Utah

Meet Pixie! ✨ Pixie is a tiny, white Maltese mix, about 2 years old, and her petite 9 lbs fit into a doggie purse. She is incredibly sweet, gentle, and sensitive.

Other dogs bring out her social Tinkerbell! 🧚‍♀️ She is especially drawn to confident pups with a nurturing, take-charge "mother hen" personality and may pair well with a little canine Fairy Godmother who can show her th. at the world is a wonderful place. Or perhaps her Prince Charming has four paws and a wagging tail! 🐾✨ Regardless, when she is with her peeps, she is playful and chases, rolls around, and follows her favorite pup! She isn't particularly interested in toys, but give her a furry playmate and she's ready to party! 🥳🐾

With people, Pixie is cautious, timid, and highly alert to her surroundings. She is docile, can be nervous and easily startled, and is still learning that humans are not villains. She needs someone who will give her the space and patience to build trust at her own pace. Once she feels safe, her cuddles shine through, and she will happily drift off into Neverland for hours by your side. 🤍

Pixie is still learning the basics. She is not yet house trained and is working on leash skills. She decides the best way to handle a leash is to chew through it. 😂 And she's quick! Her teeth can magically make a leash disappear in no time, so a chew-proof leash will be essential while she's learning. Who needs a leash when you'd much rather be transported in your carriage anyway? 👑 Pixie is also practicing coming inside and working on basic commands, but this will take time. A magic carpet or the twinkle of her nose would probably make much more sense to Pixie. ✨

Pixie may flourish in a calm home with a kind, dominant dog who can help show her the ropes. She is fine with cats, and we're not yet sure how she is with children.

This little princess will need a patient adopter who is ready to give her the consistency, kindness, and guidance she needs to blossom. She may be petite and adorable, but she is still discovering the world, and her new family will help her grow into her full potential.

If you're looking to rescue a little damsel in distress, perhaps she's destined to encounter your love. All she needs is someone willing to sprinkle a little pixie dust into her life and give this sweet girl the safe, loving future she deserves--and her very own happily ever after. ✨
