Shepherd and Husky Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Nixie - your daily dose of joy.

At just 10 weeks old, Nixie doesn't simply enter a room...she bounces in! This petite bundle of happiness is a spark of pure sunshine, always ready for a romp in the yard, an enthusiastic game of tug-a-war, or a round of fetch at the drop of a hat. Her zest for life is absolutely contagious- one look at her bright, soulful eyes and you'll be smiling for the rest of the day.

Nixie lives every day like it's her "best day ever." She adores her people, loves her canine siblings, and truly believes everyone she meets is a new best friend. Kids? Yes, please! Pint-sized playmates are some of her favorite companion. Other dogs? Even better! Strangers? She's sure they just haven't hugged her yet. Nixie's heart is as big as her enthusiasm.

While she's always up for fun, this smart girl also has an impressive off switch. When playtime winds down, she's perfectly content to snuggle on the couch, nap quietly under a desk, or cozy up in her crate. She would make a wonderful work-from-home buddy - happily playing when you're free and peacefully resting when you're busy.

On those hectic, stressful days, Nixie has a special talent; one gentle look from her expressive eyes and suddently the world feels lighter. She's the kind of pup who reminds you to slow down, breathe deep, and stop to smell the roses right alongside her.

Currently being fostered in northwest Arvada, Nixie is excited to meet her forever family. If you're looking for a joyful, affectionate, and endlessly loving companion, this little bouncing ball of happiness is ready to make your life brighter.
