Trixie is a nine-year-old female pittie/boxer mix that is sweet as can be! When you see her running around a backyard you won't believe she's a senior dog. She is so small (42 lbs) that you can carry her in your pocket. She loves to nap in a pile of blankets, roll over for belly scratches, and catch shredded cheese that you will inevitably be eating out of the bag in front of your fridge.

This gorgeous girl hasn't had the easiest life, and while she's working on adapting to life in a home, there are a few areas she continues to work on. She doesn't like to be left in a crate, but will happily hang out in one if a human is in the room with her. Otherwise, to reduce a crate-eating incident, Trixie prefers to be left in a spare room with the door shut, or roam the house when unattended.

Trixie walks nicely on a leash and LOVES treats so she’s super treat motivated which makes for great training opportunities.

She's interested and curious about other dogs, but would probably do best as an only-dog unless her owners were very dedicated to slow introductions and maintaining separate spaces for all dogs. Trixie feels threatened by other dogs near her toys, blankets, or high-value items.

While Trixie doesn’t live with cats currently, she was cat tested and did amazing!

We don't really know how old Trixie is, but her body condition upon rescue showed signs of neglect and lots of time spent outdoors in the elements. She deserves comfort and love from here on out! If you're looking to make special memories with a very deserving dog, consider Miss Trixie! She will make you laugh every day with her goofy antics and zest for life.
