Story
Meet the adorable Trixie!
This sweet little six-year-old girl sadly finds herself in need of a new forever home. We do not know a lot about her background other than her elderly owners had dementia and were unable to care for her. Their daughter took her in, but she was left alone extended periods and was definitely not getting the attention she loves. One of JoJo's adopters rescued her from that situation and asked us if we can find her a wonderful home.
Trixie is about 15 lbs and we're guessing maybe a Yorkshire Terrier/Chinese Crested Dog based on her looks. Her back is just peach fuzz, like a Chinese Crested mix might be, but her cute little face looks like Yorkie or Mini Schnauzer (depending on her haircut?) It's an unusual mix, but she is lower maintenance than most Yorkies or Schnauzers because she doesn't have so much hair to get matted. She mainly will need face and feet trims to keep up her adorable appearance.
Trixie is a healthy girl, very playful and affectionate. She does have a little funny gait, but it does not seem to bother her at all. We do not know if it is from an early injury, a birth defect, or possibly the onset of a little arthritis (although she seems a little young for that.) Whatever it is, she does not show any sign of pain – she can run and jump just fine – she just has a cute gait when she runs.
Apparently Trixie's prior owners trained her to use pee pads, so she does do that. Her foster family said she is “semi-housetrained” and they are working with her to get her fully used to pottying outside. She is a smart girl and is learning quickly. She gets along with cats as well as dogs of all sizes, although she does find very hyper dogs to be a bit scary.
She will follow you everywhere and loves to cuddle and just sit in your lap. She is sweet, adorable, and a remarkably happy girl considering all she's been through recently. Her little world has been rocked, but she's bounced back just fine. We want to find this sweet girl a loving, stable home where she can live the life she deserves.
