Trinity - Stratford

My story

Trinity is a large mix-breed sweetheart who’s as special as she is lovable. She’s the total package—affectionate, gentle, and happiest just hanging out with her people. She loves car rides, beach days, and lounging on the couch. While she can have bursts of playful energy, she’s mostly a chill companion who walks beautifully on leash and adores kids.What makes Trinity extra special is a facial deformity she was born with—it causes her face to twitch a little when she’s excited, but it doesn’t bother her and doesn’t require any treatment. She also has mild hip dysplasia, which is well-managed with an over-the-counter joint supplement to support her mobility.Trinity is dog selective and prefers to be the only dog for now, as she likes her space and slow introductions with new pups. She does have some separation anxiety and may go exploring in the trash if left alone too long—but with love and a bit of routine, she’s the most loyal, sweet, and wonderful companion you could ask for.Trinity isn’t just a good dog—she’s a one-of-a-kind gem.
