Mixy's Story

Maple & Mixy! A perfectly balanced bonded pair looking for their forever home.<br/><br/>Mixy is a stunning black tri female, weighing around 50 lbs, with an adorable nub tail and an irresistibly wiggly personality. She's happy, social, and full of life - the kind of dog who makes you smile without even trying.<br/><br/>Mixy is the higher-energy sister and really thrives when she has space to play and burn off energy. She loves running, playing fetch, and is especially obsessed with tug-of-war. Affectionate and goofy, she shows her love with enthusiastic kisses and happily flops over for belly rubs (one of her absolute favorites!).<br/><br/>She's a smart, food-motivated girl who listens well and already knows sit, down, stay, shake, and high-five. She walks nicely on leash and is crate trained, making her an easy addition to a routine-based home.<br/><br/>Mixy enjoys playing with her sister and coexisting peacefully with other dogs, though she can be a little shy when meeting new dogs at first. Given time and calm introductions, she settles in beautifully.<br/><br/>Because she's intelligent and energetic, Mixy does best with structure and enrichment. When bored, she may chew on non-food items (especially fluffy things), but with proper exercise, mental stimulation, and supervision, this is very manageable - and she truly shines when her needs are met.<br/><br/>Mixy is a loving, playful, and loyal companion who's ready to thrive in a home that appreciates her big personality and smart, sensitive nature.
