Trixie (Courtesy Post)

Trixie is a happy and active 5-year-old dog whose owner is a single mom battling metastatic breast cancer. While she loves Trixie dearly, she no longer has the energy to give her the exercise and attention she needs. Trixie is crate trained, housebroken, and knows her commands. She enjoys car rides, sleeping in bed with you, and cuddling on the couch—once she settles down, of course! Trixie loves being outside and is trained to stay within the property boundary thanks to an invisible fence. She does like to chase the resident cat, but it's all in good fun; she just wants to play, even though the cat doesn’t feel the same way. Trixie hasn’t been around many other dogs, except for one female dog that she didn’t get along with, so we can't predict how she would react to other dogs. Trixie is great with children, showering her owner’s 4-year-old with kisses! However, she can be a bit rough and sometimes accidentally knocks him over. For this reason, we recommend a home with older children. Trixie is currently still in her home but needs to find a new one quickly.
