Story

💕 Meet Trinket! 💕 At 10 years old and just 12 pounds, sweet Trinket is a little lady with a whole lot of love to give! 🥰 She is friendly, gentle, and happiest when she can be the center of someone’s attention. She enjoys being outside and does wonderfully with other dogs. 🐶💗 Trinket would be perfectly happy sharing her forever home with another dog—she might even enjoy having a furry brother or sister! She loves going for walks, eating alongside her foster dog sibling, and soaking up his companionship. They even sometimes share a bed! 💞 Trinket is fully crate-trained, non-destructive, relaxed around food and toys, and absolutely wonderful with guests. She has also done beautifully with an 8-year-old child and will probably do well with kids of any age. 🥰 Trinket may have some hearing and vision limitations, a quieter home where she can be the focus of her family would be ideal. 🏡💕 Trinket is still working on potty training and has occasional accidents, so her forever family will need to be patient and understanding. She would be happy in either a house or apartment, and while she loves having outdoor time, a fenced yard is not required. ‼️SPECIAL MEDICAL NOTE: Trinket has a spay and mammary mass removal surgery scheduled for September 10, 2026. Her adopter will be responsible for making sure she gets to this scheduled surgery. Trinket may be a senior girl, but she still has plenty of love, companionship, and happy days ahead. If you're looking for a sweet little shadow who would love to be your special girl, Trinket may be the one for you! 💕🐾
