Description:
Pixie came to us from a rural, high kill shelter. Her time was running out, and we got the news that there was one small spot left in the transport vehicle just her size. So, she hopped on!

Pixie has been known to be an escape artist. She will try to sneak through spaces under fences if she finds them. She will need to be on a leash or monitored while outside.

UPDATE FROM PIXIE'S FOSTER:
Pixie, who seems to like the name Gabby better, is a very pleasant little girl. She loves everybody. She has almost got "sit" down. She seems to be a very quick learner, and is motivated by praise. She wants to please her human, desperately. She gets along fine with our dog, who is a Corgi. She seems cautious about playing with her, like she doesn't understand what she wants. She'll get it though, she is just extremely cautious. She has learned that snacks and treats are yummy. I don't think she had a lot of experience with treats at first. She still does not know what to do with a toy, and has shown no interest in any of the ones we try to get her to play with. She shies away from tennis balls, and seems afraid of anything stuffed and squeaky.

She is not interested in any of the dog beds here, preferring to sleep on the chair in the living room in front of the window. We were told when we got her that she had been sleeping in a crate at her other foster home, so we have continued this, and she crates very well at night. She would prefer to sleep with someone, but she has been fine in a crate.

She's had a few accidents in the house, but they were when we first got her and it was so cold outside. I'm not convinced she is 100% housetrained, but she's done very well since. She's pretty mellow for a terrier. She has lots of energy, but not puppy-like energy. She does not like to be carried around, but LOVES to be in your lap. She is a snuggly little lap dog.
