NOTE: TRIXIE IS WITH HER PERSON IN CARMICHAEL, CA. GSRSV HAS NOT MET TRIXIE. WE ARE LISTING TRIXIE FOR ADOPTION ON THIS WEBSITE ALONG WITH OUR OWN DOGS TO GIVE HER MORE ADOPTION EXPOSURE. PLEASE SEE END OF THIS PROFILE FOR CONTACT INFO. “Trixie” is an approx 53-lb, 2-yo spayed female GSD who is sweet, protective and somewhat anxious. Trixie is very affectionate with her people and loves to give kisses. Trixie is healthy, up-to-date on core vaccinations and microchipped. She is on a daily 32 mg dose of fluoxitine (Prozac) to help with her anxiety. Trixie is protective of her home and her person (Krista). She barks at people when they enter the house, and likewise barks at strangers she sees when on walks at night. She has not had much exposure to strangers since she was adopted in October 2025, nor has she been around children since that time. So far, Trixie has been fairly reactive towards other dogs. However, she did OK with the other dog in a six-session obedience training class. On leash, she lunges and barks at some dogs, while ignoring others. Trixie is NOT good with cats. She is also highly predatory towards squirrels. Trixie is housetrained, but Krista leaves her in a crate when she is gone for more than an hour. At night, Trixie sleeps on Krista’s bed. Trixie participated in a six-session group obedience training class so she responds well to some commands. She pulls a bit on leash (without the distraction of other dogs), but the use of a Gentle Leader has helped in this regard. She pulls strongly when she sees a cat or a squirrel. Trixie enjoys going for car rides and is a fairly calm passenger. However, she is very reactive when people approach the car when parked. Trixie has two stuffed toys she loves to play with and loves to chew on yak sticks. Krista’s daughter adopted Trixie from the Sac City (“Front Street”) Shelter in October 2025. She quickly realized that she wasn’t prepared to take care of an anxious, energetic German Shepherd, so Krista took in Trixie to prevent her from going back to the shelter. Recently, Krista learned that she will have to undergo hip surgery in the next few months that will require a six to nine month recovery period, during which she won’t be able to walk Trixie. Thus, she is seeking a new home for Trixie. Trixie is located in Carmichael. Her adoption fee is $100 (per GSRSV’s insistence). Please contact Krista Hohler at 415-407-3088 or kristahohler@gmail.com.
