My story

Trixie Age: 7-9 years Gender: Female Breed: Pit/Boxer mix Weight: 42 lbs Crate trained: Yes Potty trained: Yes Dog friendly: No Cat friendly: Yes Kid friendly: Yes Energy Level: Low-Medium Vaccinated: Yes Spayed: Yes Heartworm: Negative Microchipped: Yes Location: Trixie is being fostered in Wheaton, IL. No out of state applicants, please. Characteristics: Affectionate, silly, soulful, loyal. 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 (45 lbs) that you can carry her in your pocket. She loves to nap in a pile of blankets, roll over for belly scratches, and smell every tree in the neighborhood. This gorgeous girl hasn't had the easiest life. 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. Trixie prefers to roam the house when unattended, because being shut in rooms makes her nervous. Trixie walks nicely on a leash and LOVES treats which makes for great training opportunities. She likes puzzle toys and lickimats. She's interested and curious about other dogs, but would do best as an only-dog unless her owners were very dedicated to slow introductions and maintaining separate spaces for all dogs. 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. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DHDN/Dog

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Trixie, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
