About Trixie

Trixie is a smart, social German Shepherd who bonds tightly with her people. She’s around two years old and a sturdy 65 lbs, perfectly sized for a family companion. Trixie returned to rescue due to a change in her previous family’s situation, but it’s clear she was much loved and given a solid foundation. If you have experience with this breed, she’s your girl. She gets along well with other dogs and adores people, but she’s a bit too interested in chasing cats, so a feline-free home is probably best. She listens well, knows basic commands, and picks up new skills quickly. Off-leash work will come easily to her with the right guidance. Her short sable and black coat is handsome in person, and she’s both eager to please and ready to fit into a new routine. Trixie’s good manners, affectionate nature, and readiness to connect make her a must-meet—she really does have that heart-stealing factor. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
