Meet foxy Roxy. She is a sweet, loving, energetic puppy who would like to be a lap dog. She loves to snuggle and share affection. Roxy gets along with children and other dogs. She loves to eat and she loves to play! Her favorite toys are chew toys of any kind. Roxy is a smart pup. She knows sit, come outside, potty outside and off. She is learning to walk well on leash, not jumping up and taking treats gently. She wants to please her people, so she's a hard worker and fun to train. Roxy is crate trained and housetrained. Add this sweet 6-month-old, spayed female mutt with a heart of gold and sweet, soulful face to your family. You'll be so glad you did. Adoption fee: $75 and includes vaccinations, deworming, spay and microchip
NOTE ABOUT BREED LABELING: Visual breed identification of dogs is unreliable and usually inaccurate. So, for most of our adoptable dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
Why is labeling a dog such a big deal? A label will stick with a dog for the rest of its life. A label can mean discrimination, losing its home or even death. Labels are a problem for the dogs when we, as the local experts on animals, allow adopters, politicians and community members to think that the label we assign can predict who that dog is or will be.

Adoption Process:
Complete the application at the link above or send an email to info@pawsforliferescue.org to tell us which pet you're interested in and we'll send you a questionnaire that will help us make the best match for you and your new pet. We then arrange a location, date and time for you to meet some pets. If the meeting goes well and everyone is happy, you begin the mandatory, minimum two-week adjustment period with the pet as part of your family. You will pay the non-refundable adoption fee at the start of the two-week adjustment period. This pending period allows your new dog or cat time to adjust to their new home, new people, new routine, etc., and for you to decide if it's a match and the right pet for you. At the end of two weeks (some people extend the adjustment time as needed and that's fine too), if everyone is happy, then we finalize the adoption. Feel free to email if you have any questions.
