About Trixie (Bernese mountain dog) in Canton

Trixie is waiting for you at Dog Star Rescue in Canton, CT 06019. Our girl Trixie is ready for her debut. Her gorgeous, good looks are the icing on the cake. What is underneath the exterior is even more intriguing. She is a 5-year-old Bernese mountain dog and weighs around 95 pounds. Life circumstances changed for her former owner, so Trixie was surrendered to us through no fault of her own. She is hopeful and looking forward to finding the perfect fit for her with her forever family. She is good with other dogs and cats. She needs another dog to live her best life so that she can pick up and follow cues to have her inner confidence emerge. She can express some nervousness, and she will require a quiet home and an owner with lots of patience who can provide comfort, care and security as she navigates through her new home life. Having one or more resident dog or dogs around will help her to adjust smoothly and live her best life. A resident companion canine for Trixie is a must so she can be the best canine family member possible. She does well with human attention and loves belly rubs. She is a medium energy gal so a bit of active with regular exercise and certainly lots of attention is the right combination to bring her into the family unit.Trixie is a bit of an escape artist and even with an outdoor fence she will need to be leashed as she is normally on alert to find ways around a fence. She will need a secure fenced in area/backyard with consistent supervision as she works on her leash skills. She is also working on her crate training skills. Trixie will need time, and a committed owner to help her learn her skills so she can be the best canine companion possible. She is a professional at her housetraining and will demonstrate how well she does to her new family. Although she is housetrained, it is important to remember that accidents can happen while adjusting to a new home environment. One thing is for certain and that is Trixie loves her humans.
