My name is Trixie!

TRIXIE NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!

Name:    Trixie      Best Guess for Breed:    Red Heeler and Terrier mix

Best Guess for Age:    3 years as of Sept. 2024       Gender:    Female

Approximate Weight:    48 lbs

Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven’t seen Trixie with kids, but she can be tested! Trixie should not go to a home with cats. 

Currently Living At: South Carolina shelter - Trixie needs a foster or adopter to make her way to the DC area

Special Adoption Considerations: Trixie is heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! This pup is part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs.  All dogs in the study are placed at random in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, the pups are eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care.  After treatment concludes, we work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test after 6 months, followed by a second test at 9 months. 

We are happy to discuss this treatment and which phase of the study this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left!

Trixie is Looking For: 

Meet Trixie, a 3-year-old red heeler mix with striking pointy ears and a beautiful white and brindle coat. Weighing in at 48 pounds, she’s the perfect medium-sized companion for an active household. Trixie is smart, loyal, and eager to please, with all the wonderful traits that come with her heeler heritage. Whether it's learning new tricks, going on adventures, or relaxing by your side, Trixie is ready to be your new best friend.

Trixie’s energy level makes her a great match for anyone who enjoys outdoor activities, but she’s just as happy curling up for some quality downtime after a fun day. If you’re looking for a loyal companion to share life’s adventures, Trixie is waiting for you to bring her home!

What My Foster Says About Me: Coming Soon! 

Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training. 

TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.  If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckydog

Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament.
