Meet Trixie- the small dog loving gal!
This beautiful girl weighs 55 pounds and is estimated to be 5 years old. We think she is a husky/boxer mix, but we arent really sure, so we just call her our Texas Special- the very best breed!
Trixie is being fostered with nine small grumpy dogs and has been a big foster sister to many more. She loves to gently play with them and takes it in stride when they growl and snap at her. She shares toys and will lets them take toys from her even though she is 6 times their size! A game of chase?? Yes Please- she loves to run and play!
Trixie is shy with big dogs and prefers to stay on the sidelines during big dog play group. She has calmer big dog friends she likes to go walking with, but in general prefers low energy big dogs who give her time to warm up and respect her space. For this reason, we think she would be best in a small dog home.

Trixies bond with her foster mom is tight. Shes become her little shadow, quietly trailing from room to room to be nearby in hopes of sneaking in a belly rub. No one in the house is happier to see her foster mom when she comes home than Trixie, who bounds up to her like she has been gone days, even if it has only been 15 minutes.
Looking for a buddy to grab a morning coffee or late-night ice cream treat with? Trixie would love to join you! She is an excellent car rider and knows how to load up. She is great on the leash and loves to go for walks and to dog friendly stores. She walks by people and dogs with ease. This girl does like to watch squirrels and bunnies- and would give them a chase if allowed.
Trixie gets lots of zoomies and loves to go outside and run laps in the yard. She also enjoys basking in the sun watching the world go by. A home with a fenced yard she can run around in would be ideal for her.
Trixie potty trained and crate trained. Just give her a treat and tell her to "get in bed".
Trixie met our housecat Biggie and was gently curious, giving respectful sniffs before moving along. Shes considered cat tolerant and could do well in a home with a dog-savvy feline who wont mind the occasional gentle inspection.
Trixie is searching for a quiet, peaceful home where she can feel safe and adored, a place with a yard to explore, and a person to lean into and little dogs to play with. She would love to go on a good walk or an adventure up the mountains.
If you think Trixie might just be your perfect match, apply here and her coordinator will reach out!

We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+.
