Bio of my Bestie

Meet Finnola, who prefers Nola and is formally known as Pixie, a mishmash of Jack Russell, Chihuahua and mystery dog. She doesn't like to reveal her age, but hints at being in the seven to eight year old range. Her talents include springing straight up and down like a pogo stick while her meals are prepared. Nola excels at ripping apart stuffies to remove the squeaker. Her record is two minutes. She is health conscious and prefers to snack on cucumbers, strawberries and raw goat milk. The girl can run!

Before joining her forever family, Nola lived on the streets of Philadelphia. Her torn hear is a reminder of that past life. She passed time in a shelter and an abusive house. These hardships took a toll on her mentally and physically. She was scared and wary of people. She has overcome many of these obstacles through her mom's compassion and patience. Her trust level has grown and her fears have diminished. Nola remains cautious, but has learned to enjoy life and accept love.

When Nola is not begging for food or destroying toys, she can be found playing shadow pup with her favorite person. She enjoys a good round of roughhousing with her stepsister dog Jozie. Nola's favorite hangout is hiking on her family's mountain property. She sticks her nose in any and every hole she finds and wades in the shallow creek. She has a strong bond with her mom built on love, trust and consistency.
