Story
Hi there! My name is TRIXI, and here is a little info about me:Breed: Chihuahua mixAge: 10 yrsGender: FemaleWeight: 10 lbsHeight: 11 inchesCountry of origin: USA, New MexicoHighlights: Easy-going, charming, snuggler, guard-dog, happy
Stop scrolling, the search for your perfect lap warmer is over!Despite being a tiny Chihuahua mix, an extra-large personality lives within me, and a constantly wagging tail is my way of showing the world just how happy I am.
Life took a heartbreaking turn when my beloved owner passed away, leaving my cat sibling and me without a home. After being surrendered to a shelter and overcoming a health hurdle (Coccidia), I am now fully recovered and ready for a fresh start.
Transitions can be tough for a senior, but my resilient spirit is focused on finding a new couch to call my own.Being a total 'couch potato' is my specialty! Snuggling deep under the covers and burrowing into my people’s hearts are my favorite pastimes.
While I am incredibly charming, especially with the women I meet, I also take my job as a miniature guard-dog seriously and will let out a bark to announce any strangers.
I get along beautifully with dog siblings of all sizes and have lived successfully with cats, making me a versatile and easy-going companion.
A calm, loving sanctuary where I can serve as a dedicated lap warmer would be heaven on earth. Since it seems I was previously an 'inside girl' used to potty pads, a little patience while I learn the outdoor routine in my new home would be greatly appreciated.
My heart murmur is easily managed with daily medication, especially if hidden in a tiny piece of sausage! A family ready to provide a soft place to land and a steady routine will find me to be the most loyal friend they’ve ever had.

Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.
Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems.Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you.
Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website.
The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs.Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live.
While most dogs find escorting passengers flying directly to Vancouver, some will find flights through Toronto or Montreal. In that case, additional fees will apply to fly your dog to Vancouver by cargo. Unaccompanied cargo costs within Canada range from $350 - $550 depending on the size of the dog. LALDR will be as transparent as possible with you regarding these costs. You will NOT be asked to pay a passenger fee on top of the cargo fee.
[MID-EAST] *Vaccinations: Dogs from the Middle East are vaccinated for rabies, parvo, distemper, leptospirosis, adenovirus type 1 and para-influenza. Bordetella is not given, as that has not been a problem in the Middle East.[TURKEY] Dogs from Turkey receive a 4D SNAP test to include Leishmania, Heartworm, Ehrlichia, & Anaplasma, as well as Giardia, Parvo, Corona & Distemper.
