My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I’m Stix! I’m a high-energy pup with a big personality and even bigger smile. I absolutely *love* my toys—like, really love them. When we play fetch, I’ll grab the ball and bring it right back to you. If you say `wait,` I’ll just sit there, staring at the ball with total focus until you’re ready to throw it again. It’s kind of my thing, and I think it’s pretty adorable!

I’m also super curious about everything and everyone. Meeting new people is exciting for me—I’ll greet you with enthusiasm and be so interested in what you’re up to. I love being around my people, so I’m happiest when we’re together, whether that’s running around outside, going for walks, or just chilling on the couch while you give me pets. I’m all about that balance of play and relaxation.

I’m a pretty special dog—people tell me my smile is what makes me stand out. It’s hard not to smile back at me when I flash it. I`m adventurous, a little silly, and always up for a good time. I love my toys so much that I’ll drop whatever I’m playing with to check out a new one—and then probably do the same thing with the next one. But don’t worry, after a good play session, I’m perfectly content to snuggle up with you and relax, especially if you’re giving me some pets.

My perfect family? Well, I’d do best with people who have the time and space to keep up with my energy. I’m not a fan of being left alone all day every day, so I’d love a family that’s around a lot and ready for some fun, adventure, and a lot of love. I promise I’ll make you smile every day!
