Meet Mixie

This dog will be at Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, March 12th and Sunday, March 13th from 12-3pm or until adopted. If you would like the first opportunity to adopt, please fill out an application to be considered. Adoption Fee: $500 Mixie is a 2 year old Dachshund mix with a song in his heart that says “Let Me Be Your Best Friend Forever”! Mixie lept straight from his shelter cage into the welcoming arms of his rescuer and he has never looked back! This 14 pound cutie has a gorgeous gray coat, a wagging tail, and a love of adventure. Read on to hear about how Mixie will remix your life for the better!    Mixie is a world-class loverboy who has a heart of pure gold! He loves playing with toys, lounging around the house, and sniffing around the yard. He takes some time to get used to new people, but he loves his family above all else. He’s the kind of dog who needs correction when necessary but he looks up to you for everything once he knows you’re looking out for him! He is a total velcro dog who would love to follow you around the world if you let him. He is very smart as well and already knows to sit, stay, bed, and watch me. He is very treat motivated and a very good listener, so we know that list will only grow! Mixie is an amazing blend of playful and cuddly, so he can follow all your adventures.  Mixie starts his day at 6 AM with a wagging tail as he heads outside for potty time. He has breakfast once he comes back inside and then hangs out in the family room as his foster people get ready for the day. He joins the walk to school and says goodbye to the foster human siblings before he heads home for a long snooze in his warm dog bed. He loves running around the house showing off his toys and his bright smile. He happily hangs out in the crate when his foster people leave the house. In the evening, he gets a second meal before his second walk of the day. He spends some time snuggling his foster family before he goes to his crate for bed.  Mixie does well when his people can give him directions and leading. He needs reminders, especially on leash to “leave it” when he passes other dogs. Once he gets through an initial introduction, he can live happily with other dogs and adores playing around the yard.  Mixie loves to trot on the leash and has been working on his polite introductions to neighborhood pups. He’s been making fabulous progress and we expect his forever home to continue that progress. Mixie is fully house trained and crate trained.    Mixie would probably do best as a solo dog, or as a companion to a submissive pup. No kids in the household for Mixie, he prefers to get down with the adult crowd.
