Trix is an 8-month-old, 35-pound Pitbull mix with the sweetest, smartest soul, and a heart full of courage waiting to blossom. She and her brother were surrendered to a shelter, and while her brother has found his forever home, Trix needed extra time in foster care to build her confidence. Trix is initially shy around people due to being undersocialized early in life, but she has never shown any reactivity. Instead, she seeks a safe space when unsure. She is incredibly quiet, observant, and learns quickly, mastering things like a doggy door within days. With patience and intentional trust-building, Trix softens, eventually enjoying toys, playing with other dogs, and even cuddling with her humans. She does well with other dogs after proper acclimation and would likely thrive with a confident canine companion. Trix is housebroken, loves her crate, and is learning to walk on a leash. She has been around children and is generally quiet. Her history with cats is unknown. She appears to be a low-rider mix and is expected to be a medium-sized dog when fully grown. Trix will need a home where someone is around often to provide consistency and help build her trust. She is a diamond in the rough who will reward patience, compassion, and commitment with extraordinary love and trust.
Ideal Home
Trix will need a home where someone is around more often than not, as she is still a puppy and needs time to build trust. A home with a confident canine companion would be beneficial for her to learn from, though not an absolute requirement if adopters have a thoughtful plan for socialization and confidence building.
