Arrival story: Roxie was an owner surrender to an animal shelter when her owner lost his home. It was very difficult for him to surrender her, but he knew he could not care for her and could no longer provide her with food and shelter. The staff fell in love with Roxie and put out a plea to save her. WT stepped in to give this girl a new lease on life! Although she lived her life in an outside kennel this smart girl knew what she needed to do with her second chance at life.....Roxie has good house manners and is house trained and crate trained.
Personality: Roxie is finally recovered from having knee surgery (she had a torn ACL) and is ready for her forever home. Roxie is overweight due to lack of exercise and also has an under-active thyroid. She is taking medications twice a day to help this. Roxie is a very affectionate dog who loves people and gets along great with other dogs. She enjoys playing in the yard, chewing on bones, and cuddling. Roxie listens well and knows her basic commands such as sit and down.
Forever home: Roxie is a laid back gal who will fit well into most situations. She will need to be kept active and get exercise to help her lose weight and keep it off. Roxie is looking for a family to call her own who will shower her with love and hugs and kisses.

Waggin Tails Dog Rescuefor the latest information. Arrangements can be made to meet our rescue dogs outside of Saturday adoption events after an approved application is submitted. This application does not imply an obligation to adopt by the applicant or by the rescue group.
Our volunteers have made rescue a second job that they do in their spare time after coming home from full-time jobs. E-mail inquiries are the quickest way to obtain information about a dog.
