Chihuahua and Pomeranian Dogs Available for Adoption in New Orleans, Louisiana

Meet Trixie

Trixie is a 1-year-old, 13-pound long-haired Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix serving tiny diva energy in the absolute best way possible. With her fluffy little tail, bright eyes, and permanent smile, she looks like she walked straight out of a cartoon and fully expects everyone to tell her how pretty she is. Honestly? They usually do.

This happy little girl loves people, does great with kids and other dogs, and has the sweetest, most cheerful personality. Trixie is the kind of dog that makes every outing more fun and every couch cuddle feel a little cozier. She's playful without being wild, affectionate without being clingy, and cute enough to get away with basically anything.

She's crate trained, heartworm negative, and scheduled to be spayed soon. Whether she's proudly trotting beside you on walks, supervising snack time, or curling up nearby for a nap, Trixie is happiest just being part of the fun.

Trixie came into rescue with Katya after their owner became ill. The girls are not bonded and can be adopted separately, but they adore each other and would also make an adorable ready-made duo for anyone looking to double the tiny dog happiness.

If you're looking for a little dog with a huge personality, fluffy hair, and nonstop happy energy, Trixie is ready for her spotlight.
