Vixen Doll the Pocket Pittie Cutie

Vixen Doll looks like someone took a full-sized pittie, hit the "shrink" button, and then added a pair of tiny Dorito ears for extra cuteness. How is one dog allowed to be this cute?! This sweet girl is affectionate, silly, social, and has the kind of face that makes people instantly fall for her. One look at Vixen and it's easy to understand why everyone who meets her falls a little bit in love. Everywhere she goes, people comment on how adorable she is, but once they spend a few minutes with her, they quickly realize her personality is even better than her looks.

Vixen Doll is approximately 1.5 years old, weighs just 38 lbs, and we believe she may be a Pittie mix. She's not even 40 lbs! She has all the adorable pittie features people love packed into one compact little body. One of our favorite things about Vixen is how perfectly balanced her personality is. She's social, affectionate, playful, and silly all rolled into one adorable package. She genuinely enjoys being around people and seems happiest when she's included in whatever is going on. Whether that's joining you for an adventure, hanging out in the backyard, playing with friends, or simply soaking up attention, Vixen is happy to be part of it. Her ears have a way of expressing every emotion she's feeling, and combined with her petite size, they give her an endless supply of charm.

Vixen is dog friendly and has done well with every dog we've introduced her to so far. She can get excited and pull toward potential new friends because she's eager to say hello, but after a few minutes, the excitement settles and she's off exploring, playing, or making herself comfortable. She has a bouncy, playful play style and especially enjoys games of chase and romping around with other dogs. While she enjoys canine companionship, she doesn't seem to need another dog in the home to feel comfortable or confident. Vixen loves people and would be perfectly content soaking up all of your attention as the center of your world.

Vixen also had the chance to spend time with an 8-year-old boy and did wonderfully. She immediately walked over to him and leaned into him for affection as if they had been friends forever. She happily accepted all the pets and attention he wanted to give and even enjoyed playing tug-of-war with him. There were a few moments where she got a little mouthy during play, but nothing unusual for a young, excited dog and something that can easily continue to be worked on. Overall, she showed us so many qualities that suggest she could make a wonderful family companion.

Ideal Home

We think Vixen would absolutely love a home with a backyard where she can stretch her legs, play, sunbathe, and keep you company while you garden, work outside, or simply enjoy a nice day. That said, because of her manageable size and easygoing nature, we also think she has the potential to thrive in an apartment setting with proper exercise, enrichment, and social opportunities.

Ongoing Health

Vixen is up-to-date on all vetting, which includes DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, flea prevention, and a 12-month heartworm preventative injection. She has also been tested for heartworm.

Training & Support

Vixen is smart and eager to learn. She is crate trained, potty trained, treat motivated, and already knows how to sit. She occasionally jumps up when she's excited, but considering how much she loves treats and interacting with her people, we think continued training will be a breeze.
