My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

****Please read our detailed and extensive adoption process on our website!

Roxy is an 11 year old female black and tan Shiba Inu who lived with one family and her sister shiba, Lexi, her entire life. Roxy and Lexi were well-loved and taken care of but their family is no longer is able to keep them; now both senior sisters are in rescue with DC SIR. Roxy is great with people, children, other dogs and cats. Roxy is currently on phenobarbital for seizures which are affordable pills. She had an episode of cluster seizures back in 2007 but has not had an episode since. DC SIR’s Vet would like to see if we can remove medication and manage with diet. DC SIR will be putting Lexi and Roxy on their Senior Health Program and doing a thorough vet check and senior panel to make sure these senior sisters are in tip top shape before they go to a real forever home. Roxy misses her former home and family, but was happy to explore the garden in her foster home and is used to being quite active for a senior gal. Roxy is a small Shiba with a great smile and a strong personality. She would love a kind family who would open their home to both sister shibas.
