Story
December 26, 2025. This good looking guy is a great family pet. He gets along with everyone. Fun, playful and well-mannered. This pretty boy is MILO, a 1 year old, 45 pound lab mix and we are not sure what he is mixed with we know for sure that he is a great buddy to humans and super playful pet companion. MILO came to us from our very high kill city shelter when he was extremely emaciated and barely weighing 3 pounds at 3 months old. With much love and plenty of groceries, MILO quickly caught up and started enjoying life as a goofy dog. His goofiness has stayed him. MILO is fiercely loyal and very loving and of course he wants to be a lap dog but simply stands at my side and allows me to rub his head. If anyone else is getting attention, he runs over to get his share. MILO is also crate and house trained. Since he is in a foster home, he is normally crated when the human doggy momma has to leave the house because there are other fosters around of which MILO play very well with. He would love to have a home of his own where he will receive more attention and walks that he loves to do. If you are interested in adopted MILO, please call me or submit an application on the website below. Thank you for your interest. www.roxysk9rescue.org

TYSON has been in a home with both males and females and kids. He has a healthy appetite and quickly gaining the weight that he needs. He does do well on the leash without pulling and would enjoy walks. He rides in the car well without getting sick. He would be a loyal and loving companion and a great playmate to another dog.

Story
PUDDIN was dumped along with her mother at a car dealership early one morning in San Antonio, TX. I am always suspect as to what could be wrong with a dog that their owner dumped them to fend for themselves. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with PUDDIN. She is very happy and trusting. She is obedient and learns very well. She can be a bit submissive as she rolls on her back for a belly rub right away and when she she playing with the other foster dogs. PUDDIN is 10 months old and weighs 14 pounds, we do not expect her to get any bigger because her mother PEACHES weighs the same thing. These 2 absolutely love to run zoomies in the backyard as soon as they go out to potty in the morning. They play with all of the foster dogs, big and small and loves playing chase with toys. 1 thing that is great about them is that they do not bark or engage in barking when the other dogs are barking at the door or nothing in particular. They sleep all night cuddled up together. Their potty training is going excellent, they hold it until the backdoor is open to go potty and since I do not have a doggy door, I open the backdoor often. I have videos I can text. Thank you. I would love for them to be adopted together but they do not need to be BUT since they like to play a lot, it would be ideal if there was another dog in the home. I do not have cats so I am not sure how they would do around cats. If you are interested in adopting PUDDIN, please submit an application on the website below. Thank you. www.roxysk9rescue.org

Story
This special little guy is RYAN. He is a 1 year old, 12 pound Lhasa Apso/Shih Tzu mix who is simply a loyal lover. He is looking for someone to return his love. RYAN gets along with other dogs. I do not have cats so I am not sure how he would do in a cat home. RYAN was found in a very rural area with GROVER, a 1 year old male Chihuahua. They are best buds but they do not need to be adopted together. It would be nice but not necessary. He is not a barker and does not have an aggressive bone in his body. He was a hot mess of long matted hair when found but he was a true trouper while being groomed. He allowed the groomer to handle him and make him look gorgeous and feel better. If you are interested in adopting RYAN, please submit an application on the website below. Thank you. www.roxysk9rescue.org

Story
Maisy is a wonderful dog. She’s an amazing walker, does great with kids, other dogs, and cats. She is happy going out on long walks and playing in water, but is also always ready to snuggle on the couch. We would love to keep her but we have a senior dog who regardless of all our efforts, is not acclimating well to her. For her safety we have to keep her separated from the senior and I feel she deserves more attention than we can give right now.

Story
I am a 6 yr old male mixed breed. My owner passed away recently, and I’m looking for a new owner that will give me the attention I need. I do best with adults and grown children and I’m used to being the only dog, but love playing with dogs my size or bigger so I would love a buddy. My instinct is to chase small animals and can be a little scary with small children, so it’s not recommended that I am left alone with them. I do love my treats and I’m really smart and trainable, but sometimes I can test my boundaries, so I would do best with owners that are consistent with my training. I’m a great watch dog, I’m crate trained, leash trained, and I love going on walks. I love to run and play so a house with a yard is ideal. I can also be lazy and love to cuddle on the couch or lay at my owner’s feet. I’m up to date on all shots and checkups.
