Housebroken: Yes, we are super impressed with how well she has been doing with potty training. Nixie knows to go potty outside and has only had a few accidents in her new foster home. Nixie often plays before doing her business.

Energy Level: High

Reaction to New People: She is a little shy at first but warms up very quickly.

Kid Friendly: Nixie has been deemed "kid approved!

Fence: Not required, but would be an asset. Otherwise tie downs in the yard would serve as well. She currently only likes to spend time in her foster's fenced yard if accompanied by her people or the family dog. When we are out there with her though, she loves to zoom around the yard and play with her foster sister. She sure is speedy!

Solo or Sibling's: Would love to have a high energy sibling. She could be a solo dog if her family had ample time to spend with her.

From the Foster: Meet Nixie! She is a sweet and friendly 1 year old who enjoys spending time around the family. She isn't much of a barker and is helping to train her 9 year old foster sister how not to bark at everyone 🙂 Nixie does have some puppy-type energy and enjoys chasing squirrels around the yard.

Nixie had a rough first 7 months of her life and due to low exposure to anything outside of her original home, she started her journey in foster care scared and shy. She has really come out of her shell and knows how great it is to be a dog in a loving environment. Since being in foster care, she has learned how to loose leash walk, enjoys playing with her foster sister, and spending time with her people. We are working on exposing Nixie to a variety of different stimuli to teach her about the world and work on not being afraid of new things. She has shown that she can adapt quickly and is able to learn. Nixie is a total sweetheart. Even though she was fearful, she warmed up to her fosters almost immediately and will climb right up on your lap to cuddle. Nixie will scooch into any space available so that she can snuggle right up to you. Occasionally, the cues her foster sister gives Nixie needs to be reinforced by her people and she does a good job at redirecting. She's a smart girl! Nixie has developed so much in the short time she has been in our care that we have very high hopes for this sweet girl. She is a great puppy and will make her future family very happy.
