Why I need a new home

Landlord permission issues

My story

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


This is incredibly hard to write. My sweet Roxy is 16 years old and a calm, gentle senior girl. She spends most of her days sleeping, waking to go outside to potty, eat, and then return to her cozy nap spot. She is blind and a little hard of hearing due to age, but she is peaceful and not anxious.

Due to a housing situation beyond my control, I must move to a rental that does not allow pets. I am heartbroken, but I want her to spend her remaining time in a loving home rather than a shelter.

She needs a quiet, compassionate home where she can rest and feel safe. If you can offer a hospice-style home for this sweet girl, please reach out. She deserves warmth and dignity in her final chapter. šŸ’›
