Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Little Trixie and her brothers (Chewbacca and Klinger) are super lucky little guys. Their poor mom was taken to a vet, supposedly as a stray, who was pregnant. When the owners found out mom had heartworms (not contagious to the puppies), they asked the vet to kill mom, because they had no interest in dealing with heartworms or even taking mama to the local no kill shelter right down the road. Thankfully for Trixie and her brothers, the vet decided to save the little family. Now that the pups are born, they are in our rescue looking for their own homes!
Trixie is currently 7 weeks old and about 10 lbs. Mom is a rat terrier mix and the father is unknown. Trixie is the smartest of the pups and is quite precocious! She is very striking with her flashes of chrome (white) on her chest and toes, and her ears have finally stood up so she is a "mini me" of her mama! Trixie is up to date on all age appropriate vaccines, has been dewormed, is on heartworm prevention, and will be spayed and microchipped prior to adoption. Trixie is working on her housebreaking and doing great so far. Trixie loves her siblings and will do well with another dog or cat in the home. She is currently being fostered in a home with both another dog and cats. Trixie prefers to sleep with her humans and follows her humans everywhere they go! She is a typical puppy, needing to chew things, and she loves shoes!
Unfortunately, we do not have any local puppy fosters, so Trixie will likely remain in Georgia until an adoptive family is found, at which time she will come to MD and go right into the approved adopter's home, providing the meet and greet goes well.
Interested adopters need to email MJsAnimalSanctuary@gmail.com to request an adoption application. Applications found online or from any source other than our email address will not be accepted. Adopters subject to reference check, vet reference, home visit(s) and meet and greet(s). Adoption fee applies.
