Alexandria Pets Of The Week: Cuddly Trixie and Playful Beatrice

ALEXANDRIA, VA — At Patch, we regularly feature adoptable pets from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria to help them find forever homes.

This week, two pets is better than one to feature. Trixie is a gentle dog who enjoys her down time. Our other featured pet, Beatrice, enjoys playing and being active.

Here is more information on each pet from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.

Trixie

Are you looking for a loveable, snuggable house hippo? Well, Trixie may just steal your heart ... along with your couch and blankets.This queen of comfort loves nothing more than lounging around with people. Her foster pawrent reports that she is gentle, affectionate, and sensitive. Instead of playing with her toys, she really just likes to cuddle up with them. Trixie likes belly rubs and cozy sweaters, too. Trixie is 6-years-old and 39 pounds and is also house trained. She knows some commands and loves to play with her snuffle mat food puzzle. Trixie is working on her leash and walk manners, which is probably the most excitable that you'll see her. If you think Trixie sounds terrific, email adoptions@AlexandriaAnimals.org or call 703.746.4774, option 2 to set up a meet!

Beatrice

Strikingly good looks and an even better personality ... Beatrice is the whole package! This easy going, friendly gal loves to play with toys and solve food puzzles. Her favorite snacks are liver treats, and she'll dazzle you with her repertoire of tricks (like sit, paw, and down) to secure them. Beatrice is affectionate and will lean into you for pets and attention. At 4-years-old (and 58 lbs), she's past those puppy shenanigans and is a great combo of active and affectionate. If you think Beatrice sounds like the bee's knees, come meet her!
