Meet Trixie – The Ultimate Lap Dog in a Tiny Package!

Trixie is a 1-year-old terrier mix who weighs just 6 lbs—but don’t let her size fool you, her heart is huge! This sweet, ultra-affectionate girl would happily spend her entire day snuggled up in your lap. She craves connection and wants nothing more than to be close to her person.

While she’s a cuddle queen at heart, Trixie is still very much a playful pup—she needs daily playtime and enrichment to keep her happy and healthy. She’s a bit shy at first, so she’s looking for a quiet, patient home with adults only or kids over 10.

Trixie would do well with a calm, confident resident dog to help show her the ropes, but she’d also thrive as your one and only—as long as you’re around often to keep her company.

If you're looking for a loving little shadow with puppy energy and a heart full of snuggles, Trixie is your girl

If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application  .

The adoption fee of $550 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed!
