About Trixie

Meet Trixie! She's a bold, adventurous girl who seems happiest outdoors—soaking up the sun, sprinting through the yard, and investigating every new scent that catches her nose. Trixie needs plenty of room to run and play; a home with a yard will keep her at her best. She thrives on human attention and enjoys nothing more than being close to her people, mixing bursts of playful energy with cuddles when she finally winds down. Still very much a puppy at heart, she brings a lot of joy and enthusiasm to each day. Trixie should be matched with a family who can match her energy, ideally with older children who won’t be bowled over by her zest. She may get along with some dogs if introductions are handled well, but a home without cats will suit her best. If you're looking for a lively, affectionate companion who's as ready for hikes as she is for belly rubs, Trixie could be the one. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
