Description:

Meet Pixie, she is being surrendered by her owner, who adopted her a year or so ago, due to lack of time and having human medical things going on.

They were honest in that they didn't do much with her and socializing her outside of the family.

Pixie is a typical shepherd that is looking for:

A leader to help her become the best she can be
Someone who won't make her be in charge, she really doesn't like it nor does she know what to do with it.
A German Shepherd savvy owner who wants to train her, socialize her, so awkward when meeting new people

She is house trained, well mannered for her family and really wants to be a social butterfly, but she needs focus and simple training to be able to do that. She is good with other dogs. Cats are unknown. Small kids might be a bit too chaotic for her.

A note from her surrendering owner

We adopted Pixie in October of 2022 and we have loved having her in our home. She is sweet and loving and very loyal to her people. She is an excellent guard dog and lets us know when anyone is close by. She loves to play fetch and she loves to run around in the yard. She doesn’t like sudden movements or loud noises. She is afraid of brooms, mops or anything that resembles a long stick. Pixie received one-on-one training through Happy Tailz last summer and she proved to be a very good student. She understands a lot of words and is extremely smart. We are sad that our situation has changed and has made it difficult for us to take care of Pixie. We hope Pixie can find her forever home where she can get all the time and love she deserves.

If you love German Shepherds and really want to make a difference in one's life, she is your girl!

*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!

Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.
