Critter Details

Stop scrolling, you found me! My name is TRIXI and here is a little info about me:Breed: Chihuahua mixAge: 10 yrsGender: FemaleWeight: 10 lbsHeight: 11 inchesCountry of origin: USA, New MexicoHighlights: Easy-going, charming, snuggler, guard-dog, happyI have an extra-large personality for such a tiny dog, and trust me—my constantly wagging tail proves I am a happy girl!My whole world was turned upside down when my person was found dead and their family could not keep me. My cat sibling and I were surrendered to the shelter. While there, I contracted Coccidia, but I have been treated and the issue is completely resolved.As a truly easy-going senior, I am a total couch potato! Hanging out with my people to snuggle is a favorite pastime, and I burrow deep under the covers when I sleep. Though a snuggler, I have a bit of a guard-dog spirit too: I will bark when strangers come to the house. Showing my charming side, I especially love the women I meet and do very well with my foster dog siblings, large and small.It seems like I may have been an inside dog using a potty pad. So your patience teaching me about going out is appreciated. I do have a heart murmur that is managed with medication. You can hide my pills in a little piece of Vienna sausage—it works every time! My rescuers will be having dental work done soon, as I likely need some extractions. Update to come.If I could find a calm home that needs a dedicated lap warmer, who will fiercely (and loudly) love their family (from the safety of the couch), I will be in heaven.Videos to come.Energy Level: Moderate to lowI get along with:Dogs: YesCats: YesKids: UnknownFears: none observed.

This includes my transportation to near the US/Canadian border.Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems.Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in – at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you.Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website.The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs.Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live.While most dogs find escorting passengers flying directly to Vancouver, some will find flights through Toronto or  Montreal. In that case, additional fees will apply to fly your dog to Vancouver by cargo. Unaccompanied cargo costs within Canada range from $350 – $550 depending on the size of the dog. LALDR will be as transparent as possible with you regarding these costs. You will NOT be asked to pay a passenger fee on top of the cargo fee.[MID-EAST] *Vaccinations: Dogs from the Middle East are vaccinated for rabies, parvo, distemper, leptospirosis, adenovirus type 1 and para-influenza. Bordetella is not given, as that has not been a problem in the Middle East.[TURKEY] Dogs from Turkey receive a 4D SNAP test to include Leishmania, Heartworm, Ehrlichia, & Anaplasma, as well as Giardia, Parvo, Corona & Distemper.
