For families who want to stay warm at home this winter, Trixie may be the dog for you.

ALEXANDRIA, VA — Nothing sounds better than snuggling up on the couch on a cold winter day, and adoptable dog Trixie knows this.
Trixie is one of the adoptable pets at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria animal shelter. Patch regularly features available pets to help them find homes.
If you bring Trixie home, her first instinct might be finding a place to snuggle. She loves cuddling, even with her toys. In between naps, she's also up for walks around town, snow or no snow.
