Trixie Belle Litter 28 Pup 2

My story

Age/Birthdate:1/23/25 * Location: Mokena,IL * Fully Vetted: Yes* Expected Weight: 30lbs Any Special Medical or Special Needs:No Temperament with: Dogs:Good Cats:Unsure Children list specific ages: Teens Strangers:Shy at first Training Needs: Crate Trained:Yes Potty Trained:Yes Hi, I’m Trixie! 🐾 I’m a sweet, petite girl weighing in around 20 lbs, and I’m learning how to trust the world one paw-step at a time. New people can be a little scary for me at first, but once I warm up, I’ll be your loyal shadow—and if you stop petting me too soon, I’ll gently paw your hand to ask for more cuddles. 🥹 I love other dogs and would be happiest in a home with a confident dog buddy to show me the ropes and run around with me in the yard. I’m super playful, especially outside, and I’ve never met a squeaky toy I didn’t like (my foster mom says I have a bit too much fun with them sometimes 😅). I’m potty trained with occasional accidents, crate trained, and I walk nicely on a leash. I’m also very food-motivated and eager to learn. My energy is a perfect mix—I’ll play hard, then happily snuggle up for a nap. I’d thrive in a quieter home with patient, loving humans who will let me come out of my shell at my own pace. I’d prefer older kids or adults since sudden movements can make me nervous. But once I choose you as my person, I’ll love you forever. If you’ve got another dog and a kind heart, I just might be your perfect match. 💛 This dog is currently located in Chicago's southwest suburbs and can be seen by appointment once an adoption application is completed and approved by the rescue. Please note that we cannot hold dogs for any reason. If the dog or puppy is not yet fully vetted, we can only consider applications from adopters within an hour's drive or 40 miles of Lemont, IL, due to required vet visits at our partner veterinarians. For fully vetted dogs or puppies, we welcome applications from out-of-state or beyond the 40-mile radius. Please only apply if you are ready to meet and welcome a new companion into your home within five days of approval. Breed and Age Information: Unless the puppy was born in our care, we cannot guarantee the breed or age. Breed and age estimates are based on veterinary advice, shelter records, physical appearance, and information provided by previous owners. Adoption Fee: $XXX The adoption fee includes: Spay/neuter (performed at one of our partner veterinarians as scheduled by the rescue) Microchip Rabies vaccine DHPP vaccine Bordetella vaccine 4DX test (Heartworm, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichia, Lyme Disease) General wellness care, including deworming, heartworm prevention, and flea/tick prevention Your adoption fee also helps support medical care for other rescue animals, including heartworm treatments, surgeries, and emergency care. Spay/Neuter Policy: We spay/neuter dogs at 16 weeks or older, at the discretion of the rescue and in consultation with our partner veterinarians. While some veterinarians recommend delaying the procedure based on a breed’s projected size, as a rescue, our primary goal is to prevent unwanted litters. Spaying and neutering also provide significant health benefits, including cancer prevention and reducing behavioral issues. The American Animal Hospital Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association support pediatric spay/neuter for cats and dogs as early as 8–16 weeks. We carefully assess each case to determine the best timing for the procedure. Interested in Adopting? Submit an adoption application at www.rubywhiskers.org/adopt
