Happy November! Snowy days are on the horizon, and that will make our next Featured Friend VERY happy. Pixiestick (aka Pixie, Pix, Pixel, Pinky Pie, Pig, Pork, Baby Dog, Creature, Gremlin, Cricket… we could go on), our manager’s 4.5-year-old Pittie mix with a BIG personality, an even BIGGER heart, and a colorful style all her own!
Pixiestick’s journey to her forever home started when Mom mentioned she was maybe looking for a SMALL second dog. Then Missy (as Pixie was called back then) arrived at Roscoe’s for a First Day with her foster mom, sporting an “Adopt Me” leash and approximately 45 pounds of pure love. The whole lobby turned to look at not-yet-Mom, and Pixie promptly made herself at home on someone's lap. So much for a small dog! Mom introduced her to Jellybean “just to see if they’d get along,” and it was instant soulmate status. A few photos and videos later, Dad knew Mom was already in love. Before Pixie even finished her trial day of daycare, the adoption paperwork was underway! By the end of the week, Missy had become Pixiestick, and the family had found the missing piece they didn’t even know they needed. Pixie and Jellybean are practically inseparable, and she fell head over paws for Dad as soon as he came home from a work trip, too.
Pixie’s love language is ALL OF THE PHYSICAL CONTACT. Sitting down? You’re now her bed. Standing nearby? Prepare for a love-filled body slam. And if you haven’t picked her up and held her like a baby yet, she’d like to speak to management. She loves every human she meets and has enough affection to go around!
Nothing makes Pixie happier than shredding a soft toy! Her second favorite toy? Whatever her sister Jellybean happens to be playing with, of course. And you can’t forget her nightly Greenie!
Back in the day, Pixie had a habit of launching herself out of the indoor play yards at Roscoe’s and zooming around the building, tackling unsuspecting people into hugs. The landings weren’t exactly graceful, but the commitment to spreading love was unmatched! Thankfully, she’s since been trained out of this little stunt. We still laugh thinking about it!
Coming up from the South, as many Maine rescues do, Mom wasn’t sure how Pixie would feel about her first Maine winter. Turns out, she LOVES the snow! Eating it, rolling in it, digging in it… if it involves snow, Pixie is ALL IN.
Her favorite part of coming to Roscoe’s? HER PEOPLE! Pixie adores the staff and loves one-on-one attention with her favorite humans and a select group of doggy friends, especially her boyfriend Noodles. She may play hard, but at home, she’s just as happy loafing around in someone’s lap while getting her ears rubbed.
Have you noticed Pixie’s fabulous, ever-changing look? Roscoe’s groomer Anissa works her magic with the most fun, colorful dye jobs, and Pixie absolutely LOVES all the extra attention!
Pixiestick is a toy-shredding, snow-loving, rainbow-rocking cuddlebug who brings laughter and love everywhere she goes. We’re so lucky to have her as part of the Roscoe’s family!

Testimonials:
"We all knew Pixie was a special lady the second she walked through Roscoe’s front doors! Formerly known as Missy, she came in as a foster dog just looking for some socialization. She walked in like she owned the place, butt wiggling all around, and plopped right into my lap (some things never change). If you work at Roscoe's, you know how dangerous it is as an employee to meet any adoptable dogs. At this point I already owned 2 of my own and couldn’t take on another. All the employees looked over to our general manager, Kelli, who was obviously already in love. It didn’t take much convincing for Kelli to introduce Pixie to Jellybean (her first dog) and they also hit it off immediately. Long story short, Pixie found a loving home very quickly with all of her charm and pittie wiggles and she really couldn’t have gotten any luckier with the family she chose! Pixie really is one of a kind, with her suffocating snuggles (just how we like it), occasional zoomies, and unwavering love for life. We love you Pixie and a big thank you to Kelli for taking on this sweet lil land seal
