Trixie

My story

I`ve been fostering Trixie for 3 months now. She`s a beautiful dog with a great personality! Trixie is very energetic & intelligent. She is friendly with every person & dog that she meets. However, I would not recommend she be placed in a home with children under 18 as she can be temperamental with people who make quick or unexpected movements towards her. She can be mouthy when playing, but she is easily corrected. She does have some trust issues, but they dissipate as she gets to know you. Trixie does have a tendency to be food-possessive, and I have not been able to break her of that. (We recommend continued training & research for these behaviors) She knows several commands, & she is an excellent walker on the leash. She does need a home that has a fenced-in backyard or a dog park nearby as she does have A LOT of energy which is typical for her breed. I would recommend exercising her 4 to 5 times a week. She was a little picky about her food, but now she seems to like anything I give her. She loves riding in the car and enjoys Rita’s ices…lol` This is the list of commands that I have taught her so far:sit + stay + down + wait + let`s go + this way + leave it + kennel + come + give + fetch.` Trixie appears to be enjoying her time in foster care, but she truly needs to find an adopter who can be patient, loving, & willing to provide consistent training. If you are interested in being her new favorite human(s), submit your application today.

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.
