Trixie
This cute-as-a-button mini-Australian Shepherd has been with her family since she was a puppy and has been well-cared for and loved. Now with an active 2-year-old toddler, the two working parents do not feel they are able to meet Trixie's needs. Presently, Trixie is crated for most of the day while her family is working. Knowing it is best for Trixie, they made the difficult decision to seek a more suitable situation for their beloved pup.
One of our rescuers totally lost her heart when she went to meet and evaluate Trixie. Our volunteer shares, "Be still my heart! This little lady is as friendly as they come and warmed up to both my husband and myself within a few seconds! Trixie is well-trained and so incredibly friendly. She knows the commands sit, down, paw, leave it, and crate. She is very smart and when out walking on the leash, she took to my correction quickly when she started to pull. Trixie is eager to please and is seriously so darn cute!!"
Her owners describe her as "sweet, kind, and loving." She is good with their toddler and our volunteer watched Trixie follow the child from room to room with a cookie in his hand. While she was hoping he might drop it, she never tried to take the cookie herself. Such a good girl! Trixie was patient while being brushed, laying on the couch and enjoying the attention. Trixie can be dog-selective but she gets along well with family members' submissive dogs - one is a female Yorkie and the other is a male German Shepherd. Her family reports that she is okay with cats. Trixie is good in the car but could use a little work on leash walking skills.
Trixie is trustworthy in the house and is house-broken. For the past year or so she needs to urinate about every 3-4 hours, not unlike most of us! Her owners had her tested for UTIs and had both x-rays and ultrasounds done to see if there was a reason for her more frequent need to pee, but all the tests show there is nothing physically wrong. We believe that once Trixie is in a quieter home, this need will subside. We are seeking a home for Trixie where someone is home most of the day and where being crated is the exception to the daily routine, and is not the norm.
Trixie will be 4 years-old on 9/7/25 and has a moderate energy level. She weighs about 40 lbs, is spayed, vaccinated, and is heartworm negative. If you are approved to adopt through SGRR, have a calm home, and your specialty is TLC, please contact Donna to be considered to become Trixie's new best friend. If not yet approved, please fill out an application. Trixie is in NJ and is ready to meet you!
Rescued dogs come with a range of needs - from behavioral to emotional to medical. When approved applicants adopt such dogs, they agree to continue the rehabilitation we have begun.
