Soooo, Alan and I adopted a little dog from a local shelter. She was a stray that had to be trapped to be captured ... imagine how scary that must have been! We've gone round and round with ideas for her name, but think we've finally settled on Pixie. It fits her!
She's very thin, very quiet, and cheerful but cautious. We think she's got a big personality just waiting for the right time to come out. Twiggy has a HUGE personality, so the adjustment may take a little extra time. She enjoys going on walks, even with Daisy and Twiggy!
We hope she settles in, and feels comfortable in her new home.
Oh--I want to kiss Pixie on her cute nose. Only great people adopt shelter dogs.

Pixie is the cutest! Warms my heart to hear of you adopting a rescue pup! :)

Anna, I am always glad when a rescued dog finds a good home. After a very bad life experience, it will take a while to fit into a new one. Pixie is a fortunate dog to find a home like yours and will soon forget all about the past life.
Have a great Pixie day.

Awwwwww! A lot of loving and a little patience will bring her out of her shell in no time. What a super lucky dog to have found you! She's a cutie for sure!

Congratulations to all of you! I know she's going to be a great dog - she looks like she is full of fun! I know she will love living with you on the farm. We adopted our dog from the shelter here and she was similar when she came here. She was really thin and very cautious. Now she has gained some weight and is such a patient and loving dog - my constant companion! So glad to see more pictures of Pixie now! She's going to steal your hearts!

Wondeful!!! everyone should check the shelters first before getting a dog. They require more love and affection but in the end are so worth it. We adopted a little pomeranian when our Pom died. Sparky came from a puppy mill and was used for breeding. When we got him he was skin and bones. We had to have 11 of his teeth removed and some fell out. He wasn't house broken because he had lived his life in a wire cage. We had to teach him to go up and down stairs and he hated grass or muddy surfaces to walk on. He is such a sweetie and we are so glad to have him.
