About Trixie

Meet Trixie! This 5-7 month old Shih Tzu is packed with sass and charm. Trixie loves to indulge in puppy mischief, mixing her playful antics with a touch of independence. Sadly, her previous home lacked structure, leaving her to roam freely rather than enjoy the company of her humans. While she’s undeniably adorable, she needs a patient owner to help her learn basic dog etiquette—things like potty training, establishing routines, and understanding why her own adventures aren’t the ideal path. Trixie is eager to learn and filled with personality, but she will require a commitment to training and guidance. If you’re in search of a fluffy little companion who needs some work and has a vibrant spirit, Trixie might just be the perfect fit. Adoption fee is $350. Click apply to start the adoption process.
