Description
Dog Breed: Italian Greyhound / Toy Fox Terrier (short coat). Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please fill out an application to set up a private meeting. Meet Trixie! Trixie is a sweet senior Italian Greyhound mix (about 14 lbs) with a heart full of love and plenty of pep in her step! Don’t let her age fool you — this lovely lady still loves to run, play, and explore. She’d be happiest with another playful dog around her size or larger who can keep up with her zoomies. Trixie is crate trained and potty trained, though she’d much rather curl up next to her favorite human for naps and bedtime. (She’s an excellent nap partner — verified by her foster!) She’s a great eater, travels well in the car, and gets along beautifully with other dogs. When she’s not dashing around the yard, Trixie’s favorite things include snuggling on the couch, having her ears scratched, and chewing on a good bone. She’s not much of a barker, but she does need a home with space to stretch her legs — so a yard would be ideal. Trixie is simply wonderful — affectionate, gentle, and full of joy. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion who still has a playful spark, Trixie may be your perfect match! Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there*** If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiriesunderdogrescuemn> ADOPTION EVENTS: Adoption events are updated at the top of each dogs animals' as their foster home signs up. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. If an event is not listed within their bio above, the animal is not planning to attend. Please understand that all of our pets are in volunteer foster homes and sometimes "life" happens and the foster family cannot make it to their scheduled adoption event. If you are traveling from a far distance to meet a specific animal, please understand we cannot guarantee event attendance. We recommend filling out an application and we will set up a private appointment. Private appointments are only scheduled after an application is submitted and approved. ADOPTION PROCEDURE: The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website: .underdogrescuemn/adoptionprocess/ Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN. All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at .underdogrescuemn/contact-us/ if you have further questions. FOSTER CARE: All of our animals are fostered in individual homes or doggie daycare facilities. While they are in our care, they are part of our families and given lots of love. We work on training, crate-training and socialization prior to adoption, but each bio is written by the foster as they see them, in their home. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality, but it cannot be guaranteed. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves in time and with patience. If you have an interest and ability to be a foster home, please visit our website .underdogrescuemn/foster-applications and fill out a foster application. NUTRITION: Nutrition is vital to the rehabilitation and life-long health of our pets. All of our foster animals are fed a premium diet such as NutriSource, Canidae, Orijen, Nature's Variety, Fromm, Pure Vita, Stella and Chewy's, Primal, or balanced raw diet. All adopters are required to continue providing premium diets for the life of the animal. YOU CAN HELP: Not able to foster or adopt right now? Please consider sponsoring an Underdog.

Breed overview
Italian Greyhound
A.K.A.: IG, Miniature Greyhound, Piccolo Levriero Italiano, Piccololevriero Italiano, Italian Sighthound
Overview:
The elegant Italian Greyhound, or "IGGY," is a diminutive sighthound with an ancient lineage, tracing back over 2,000 years to the Mediterranean Basin. Physically, they are the epitome of grace: miniature versions of their larger Greyhound cousins, boasting a sleek, muscular build, fine bone structure, and a short, smooth coat that comes in a variety of colors. Their delicate, expressive faces are often accented by large, alert ears and captivating eyes. In terms of temperament, IGs are known for their affectionate and gentle nature, forming strong bonds with their families. They are surprisingly playful but also enjoy lounging and being close to their loved ones, making them excellent companions for apartment living. While generally good with older, respectful children, their fragility means they might not be ideal for boisterous young families. Key health considerations include a predisposition to bone fractures due to their fine build, as well as dental issues and progressive retinal atrophy. With proper care and a loving home, these charming and loyal dogs bring immense joy.
