Story
Trixie is approximately 2 years old. Very lovable and loves to run. She can not eat solid foods soft foods only. She is timid around new people but once she feels you out she's lovable wanting attention. She loves to inform you of people being near your home. She has a bark. I just can not keep her anymore unfortunately.

Ziggy came to us pregnant from a rural shelter and was on the list to get euthanized. Not good with lawnmowers, weed eaters, most anything small with a loud motor. She is a great Mom, gets along with everybody and is now ready for her furever home.
