UPDATE 3/17/21 (by Sigrid):
This March, when vibrant, red and white Trixie moved into to Almost Home, she beamed with cheer, even though she had just undergone surgery to remove a large mass. There is no question, this girl is about as upbeat as a dog can get.
The vet believes that all the cancer was removed by surgery, and now with positive all-American Pit-Bull Terrier fortitude, Trixie is nearly all healed and off meds, except for Apoquel (for itchy skin not related to her surgery). She is that great medium size many folks look for, and at 5-years-old, she is past the crazy-puppy stage—though still has puppy love to give. She has not been a chatty dog. Instead, she shows her excitement with expressive eyes.
Trixie was well loved before she came to us and spent happy times with children and other dogs, and was even tolerant around cats that didn't like her. She was known to be a super-cuddler, love-bug, inclined to roam, and an appreciator of treats.
Here, she has been an absolute sweetheart, eager to please, and quick to flip over and give you her belly. It is pretty hard to resist when she is wiggling on her back, hoping to get you to touch her with loving hands. This girl would likely spend all day in your lap getting pets if you let her. Trixie embodies what being glad-to-be-alive looks like.
Trixie would do best in a home with a stable fence to keep her from straying. She enjoys being with people, children, and other friendly dogs.
