TRIXIE

Trixie is a 5-year-old Rat Terrier. She is shy due to previously faced hardships. However, after spending time at Pets in Need, she has started to trust humans and check out the comfort of laps. Trixie just needs a little extra love and attention from a loving family.

Although a little overweight, she is now on a diet and well on her way to a healthy shape.

Trixie has had a few litters of puppies, but she is now spayed, up to date on shots and housebroken.

She was raised with a Golden Retriever mix.
