Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Trixie is a sweet, playful and loving, 18-month-old, 11-pound, female, Affenpinscher/Cairn Terrier-Mix looking for a loving guardian.
Trixie was rescued from Chicago Animal Care and Control. She was so frightened in her cage that she snapped at workers and a big E was stamped on her kennel card. Luckily, she was rescued right in the nick of time by Famous Fido’s Rescue. When Trixie is not feeling threatened, which is about 99% of the time, she is the most fun-loving, snuggly and playful girl. She is full of kisses and tail wags within minutes of meeting dog-lovers. She’s also good with other dogs.
Trixie is healthy, de-wormed, vaccinated and heartworm-tested. She will be spayed and micro-chipped upon adoption. Her adoption fee of $200 benefits Famous Fido’s Rescue Group. To meet and possibly adopt Trixie, please fill in the adoption application at: http://famousfidorescue.com/rescueforms/machform/view.php?id=26727 and follow up by contacting Gloria at fido@famousfidorescue.com or 773-907-0305.
The rescue has dogs of all sizes and ages looking for loving guardians. They spend their days at 5430 N. Clark Street in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood. Make an appointment to stop in and meet some of these lovable souls.
