Story
Onigiri came into rescue after being surrendered by his family when life got busy with children and he no longer fit into their plans. At first, it was clear he had experienced some mistreatment — he was especially afraid of men when he arrived. Despite this, Onigiri doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. He simply wants to feel safe, loved, and chosen. With patience and kindness, Onigiri blossoms into a playful, happy boy. Once he trusts you, his gratitude shines through in every wag, cuddle, and joyful moment. He gets along well with both dogs and cats and enjoys being part of a peaceful, loving home. Onigiri is smart, eager to learn, and very trainable. He will thrive with a family who makes him a priority and gives him the stability and affection he’s been missing. In return, he’ll give you unwavering loyalty and a whole lot of love. Onigiri is fostered in NYC and is available for local or out-of-state adoption as long as the adopter can travel to meet him. To get the adoption process started, please send us an application at https://bit.ly/rosr-adopt-foster. Apply for the pet here: https://tinyurl.com/5b7ypc5f

Story
Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.This tall guy is AVERY, actually he had another name after a Game of Thrones character but I did not know that and changed it.  He is a purebreed Standard Poodle who is 5 1/2 years old and 63 pounds. AVERY was an owner surrender to our organization at no fault of his own.  The living conditions changed in his house after an emergency and he could not go with them.  His owner was heartbroken as she had him all his life.  She owned AVERY before she had her own 2-leg kids!!!  AVERY is very comfortable around newborns and toddlers.  He does very well with them, he is patient and tolerate.   He came into an environment that is really different for him, more dogs!!!!  He is doing good though, he doesn't bother them and their barking does not bother him.  He has been playing with the smaller breed dogs while trying to figure them out. The vet says AVERY is a little underweight at 63 pounds and could stand to gain a little bit.  He has a healthy appetite and loves treats.  So far he knows how to 'sit' and I have not tried any other commands but I will.  When I got him, he was quite overgrown and in desperate need of a grooming.  The groomer said he is very good at letting her do what is needed except he does not like his nails clipped.  She was able to get it done but AVERY was not happy about it.  So if that is the only thing that is bad about him then he is a great dog! He readily jumps in the car and does not get car sick.  He is leash trained and crate trained.  Not a chewer or bothers any personal items. If you are interested in adopting AVERY, please submit an application on the website below.  Thank you. www.roxysk9rescue.org       ADOPTION FEE & APPLICATION REQUIRED   Roxxy's K-9 Rescue does not have a shelter, all of our dogs are raised in foster homes.  Each dog comes  spay/neutered (fixed), rabies shots appropriate for their age, and dewormed twice.  The dogs are up to date on vaccinations according to their age at the time of adoption.  They are microchipped, heartworm tested and on monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventative.  ALL OF THIS IS INCLUDED IN THE ADOPTION FEE. We transport across the United States. Medical records will come with each dog at the time of adoption. Our organization is run by volunteers/foster parents, please be patient to give us time to respond to your emails and/or phone calls.  We will reply to you.  Thank you.         January 22, 2026, 2:32 am
