Hi! I’m Pixie 💕 I’m 8 years young, weigh about 15 pounds, and I’m currently being fostered by the wonderful humans at Senior Hearts Rescue & Renewal in Bradfordwoods, PA.

I may be a “young senior,” but don’t let that fool you—I’m active, outgoing, and absolutely love people. When I’m out on a walk, I might pull on my leash or even jump up on strangers… but only because I need their attention and pets. And honestly? No one can seem to resist me.

I could be a great match for a first-time adopter who’s active, patient, and understands that dachshunds (like me!) come with a little stubborn streak. I’ll need some help polishing my manners, but I’m totally worth it.

If you already have other dogs, I’m looking for humans who know how to manage a multi-dog household—bonus points if you’ve had dachshunds before! I really thrive when there are clear rules and structure. I’m a smart cookie and learn quickly when my humans are committed and ready to teach me.

I do have something called diabetes insipidus—don’t worry, it’s not regular diabetes. If it’s not managed, it makes me drink and pee a lot, but thanks to my vet, it’s totally under control. I just need eye drops a few times a day to keep everything in check. Easy peasy, I promise!

I’m up to date on all my vaccinations and current on flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives.

If you’re looking for a joyful little lady who will make you laugh and brighten your days, I just might be your girl. 🐾💖

Pixie can be adopted into a home within a two-hour radius of Pittsburgh, PA. If you are interested in giving Pixie a furever home, you must first complete the adoption application at www.seniorhearts.org/how-to-adopt

❣️A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has gone to Liora’s Whole Pet to donate items for our seniors❣️

It's the second week of this collaboration and we are still receiving more items- especially canned Weruva !! Our seniors are a bit picky with their food and Weruva has been a life saver so please keep it coming!

If you’re in the area- please stop by Liora’s in Rockville, MD to purchase some goodies for your fur-babies and consider adding a few items for our pups at HWAH 💗. We’ve decorated some aisles with gift tags of your favorite senior pups, simply look at the back of the gift tags, select the items, and make a residents’ day!! You can also mention HWAH to a staff member and they can help you out.
