Trix is an 8-month-old, 35-pound Pitbull mix with the sweetest, smartest soul, though she's a bit shy. She and her brother were surrendered to a shelter, and Trix, being more withdrawn, needed extra time in foster care to build her confidence. She's significantly undersocialized and initially fearful of humans, but she has never shown any reactivity. Instead, when unsure, she finds a safe place to hide. Trix is gentle, quiet, and incredibly observant, picking things up quickly. She figured out the doggy door in just a couple of days and is always learning. With patience and time, she begins to soften, eventually playing with toys when she thinks no one is watching, running with other dogs, and even cuddling on the couch or sleeping in bed with her humans.
Ideal Home
Trix needs a home where someone is around most of the time, as she's still a puppy and building trust takes time and consistency. She is not a ready-made confident dog and requires patience, compassion, and commitment. She does well with other dogs after proper acclimation and would likely thrive with a confident canine companion. Adopters without another dog should have a thoughtful plan for socialization and confidence building. She has been around children and is shy at first. Her history with cats is unknown.
Ongoing Health
Trix is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations.
Training & Support
Trix is housebroken, loves her crate, and is learning to walk on a leash. She is very quiet. Her adopters will need to be patient as she continues to build confidence and trust.
