Meet Roux: This adorable 8-month-old female Chihuahua/Terrier mix joined our program due to the diligence and persistence of local rescuers who trapped her and her sister (Beignet) behind a local Drugstore after they had been spotted abandoned there and where too shy to come directly to the rescuers - as far as trapping goes, this rescue was pretty quick and easy, they were ready to be rescued!
Roux is sweet and curious, a little shy when first meeting new people, but curious enough to quickly get over that and accept pets and snuggles. Roux loves playing with other dogs, and is learning a lot from them, like house rules and routines, how to best snuggle with her person and playtime with toys. As a developing puppy, she loves to chew on antlers. She does not yet love being crated (she will eat in her crate but then protests confinement as soon as the meal is finished) and is also not yet a fan of the leash, as she has not yet learned of the opportunities available to her when leash walking has been accomplished, but she is smart and learns quickly. Living with another dog who can show her how its done is a huge bonus.
Roux is looking for a family who is home a lot, preferably with another dog, but she may be fine as an only dog, as long as she gets enough exercise and attention.
***Please note: All dogs are fostered in private homes of volunteers, so to meet a dog please fill out an Adoption Application on our website (http://www.twyla.org/adopt/our-adoption-process) so we may setup a private meetup with the dog or coordinate for an Introduction at the next general Adoption Meet and Greet (as listed on our website: (http://www.twyla.org/upcoming-events), as not all dogs attend all Meet and Greets***
