Pixie Dixie is the kind of dog that turns an ordinary day into a good one the second she walks into the room. With her floppy, fantastic ears bouncing every which way and that big, happy personality of hers, she has a way of making people smile without even trying. She’s silly, full of joy, and completely devoted to her people. The type of girl who loves hard and isn’t shy about showing it. Whether she’s making you laugh with her goofy antics or leaning in close for affection, Pixie has that rare, feel-good energy that just makes everything better.

Pixie Dixie is a little under three years old and is believed to be a Pit Bull / Bull Terrier–type mix (rescue mystery, of course). What she is without question is adorable, affectionate, and absolutely full of life. She’s got the cutest floppy ears ever, one spotted, one solid, that fold and bounce depending on her mood, a tiny curl at the end of her tail with a little white tip, and that big ol’ pittie smile that makes it impossible not to grin back at her. Pixie is truly joy on legs.
Pixie loves people. Like, really loves them. She’s the kind of dog who happily walks right up to say hi, asks for pets, leans in for cuddles, and wants to be near her humans as much as possible. Booty scratches? Yes please. Couch naps? Her favorite. Hugs? Absolutely. She’s social, affectionate, and would do great in a home that enjoys having visitors because Pixie thinks everyone is her friend.
When it comes to playtime, Pixie is all in. Toys are her jam! From stuffies, to balls, tug toys, chew toys… she loves them all. She’ll play fetch with you, tug like a champ, or zoom around the yard entertaining herself when the mood strikes. She’s got a fun, bouncy energy but also knows how to settle and enjoy a good, long nap once she’s had her outlets.
Pixie walks nicely on a gentle leader, which helps her stay grounded when exciting things pop up on walks. She can get a little amped at first (maybe sharing a few words with other pups on walks across the street), but she learns quickly and continues to improve as she works on checking in with her handler and staying focused. She enjoys being active and does best with regular exercise and a bit of structure, it helps her shine! She even went to a board and train where she made leaps and bounds going on pack walks and learning to stay neutral!
Pixie is dog friendly, does well walking by other dogs in public and has been in multiple playgroups. She brings that Beyonce confidence to any play group and struts her stuff like she owns the place. It’s pretty funny. Some of her best friends are dogs that are goofy, happy to play, not bothered by her vocalness, and know when to take a play break. In a home she would be best matched with a happy go lucky goofy male that likes to run around, play chase, tolerant of a more rowdy play style, and a dog that will take play breaks on their own. Pixie would also do great as your one and only as well! She is a confident happy go-lucky social little butterfly that does not need the company of another dog to help her open up and feel comfortable. She would actually love to be the center of your attention and be the princess of your world. As far as kitties go, scarlet would do best in a kitty free home.
Want to know what would make Pixie so happy?! This happy girl would absolutely love to find a home with a big back yard and with an experienced confident handler who enjoys being involved, going on walks, and continuing her training in a positive, structured way. She’d love a yard to zoom in, a couch to nap on, and humans who want a loyal shadow with a big heart and a silly streak. Pixie thrives on companionship and connection and would be happiest in a home where she’s included in daily life and never feels like she’s missing out. The more time you’re home to spoil her, the better!!
Pixie is not a “plug-and-play” dog, she’s a relationship dog. The kind who bonds deeply, loves hard, makes you laugh, and fills your home with warmth. For the right person, Pixie won’t just be a pet… she’ll be your best friend. We are willing to test Pixie Dixie with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen. Just let us know.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
