Adoptable pooch Trixie loves snuggling, sniffing and snacks

By James Cullum

Ten-year-old Trixie is full of excitement and is up for adoption with the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.

The dachshund/beagle mix loves three things most of all: snuggling, sniffing and snacks, according to AWLA spokesperson Gina Hardter.

“Don’t let her frosted face fool you,” Hardter said. “Trixie has quite a bit of pep in her step and loves adventures where she can get outside and explore the world.”

Trixie recently had a mastectomy, and due to the size of the mass, it is likely that is was not able to be entirely removed, and AWLA can discuss next steps and Trixie’s medical records.
