Trixie

Meet Trixie! Trixie is approximately 3 years old and is thought to be a Chihuahua/American Eskimo mix. <br/><br/>Trixie was surrendered after having lived on a farm and wanting to be a house dog, but was kept outside. Because of this, we are hoping to find her someone who is willing to let her be an indoor princess. She did live around other dogs, cats, children & farm animals. <br/><br/>Trixie has been a bit bashful during her first few days at the shelter - we're sure it's just a culture shock coming to a place like this for the first time, so we're simply taking it slowly and letting her absorb all of her new surroundings. We want to make sure her new family understands that time and patience will be required. We don't want her to be overwhelmed, but instead to feel safe and loved in her new home no matter how long it takes her to settle in. <br/><br/>Trixie is incredibly loving and enjoys being petted and held. We're told she likes to play fetch, but she isn't quite ready to show us that just yet. The family who surrendered her said they believed she was housetrained before they got her, but a refresher course will be recommended so that she can get used to a new schedule. A nice cozy kennel space for herself would be beneficial as well, that way she can retreat if she feels the need. <br/><br/>Even though she's been bounced around a little bit and that has caused Trixie some confusion, we know she'll overcome this trauma and settle in nicely with the right person. As long as you are patient, loving and understanding, Trixie will be devoted to you. <br/><br/>We are doing all meet n' greets BY APPOINTMENT ONLY after an adoption application has been approved: <br/><br/>https://monroecountydogshelter.com/apply-adopt.html<br/><br/>Trixie will be fully vaccinated & spayed prior to adoption. Her adoption fee is $240.
