Meet Pixie, a tiny 2-3 year old Chihuahua who is initially shy but blossoms into a loving "stage 5 clinger" once she feels safe. She thrives on being close to her person, making her the perfect lap dog or "purse pup." Pixie gets confidence from small, calm dogs and is good with older, gentle kids. She is apartment-friendly and needs a calm, patient home where someone is around most of the time due to her separation anxiety. Potty training is in progress, and she is crate trained near her person.
Special Needs
Pixie has separation anxiety and requires a patient home where someone is often present, as new environments can be scary for her initially.
