Pet of the Week ... Pixie! Pixie is a 3 year old (42lbs.) spayed female Labrador retriever that is super loving. She prefers the company of humans over other dogs and would do best in a home where she can be the only star. She is easy to walk on a leash and likes to be petted. She also knows the command, “sit.” As Pet of the Week there is no adoption fee for Pixie to join your household. Shelter ID #111745
