Shadow is an approximately 2 year old female Dutch Shepherd mix who weighs 48 lbs. Shadow is good with other dogs and older kids but no cats for this sweet baby. She’s housebroken and crate trained.

She’s good on a leash but sometimes she needs a little encouragement. Shadow would love a family who can continue to show her the love and trust she deserves!

Murphy is a 6mo male Dutch Shepherd mix who was rescued as a stray in Memphis.  Good with other dogs and living comfortably with another dog in his foster home (see video).  Not yet cat tested. Great with kids and recommended for children 6 years and older just because of his exuberance.  Medium energy level outside, quiet and well-mannered in the house.  Crate trained and housebroken. Learning basic commands.  Loves to be with his people.  Good on a leash, rides great in the car.  Healthy and fully vetted, current on shots, neutered, weighs about 40 pounds.  Murphy has an occasional limp L rear leg which vet attributes to an old, healed injury but it doesn’t impact his mobility at all.

Story
Meet Zara!  Breed Guess: Dutch Shepherd/Corgi MixAge: Young Adult...best guess is 2-3 years oldWeight: A very compact 23lbs  Other Animals: Zara wants to play with her fur foster but he isn't interested in playing with her and she respects his boundries.  She does give him kisses which he accepts from her.  We feel that she would probably do well with a doggy companion.  We were told that she was not reactive with cats and she doesn't try to chase squirrels or geese.Kids: She is very nervous when meeting strangers right now so feel that calm teens would be bestHouse training: She is totally fine but may need a little time to learn a new routine in a new homeExercise needs: Zara is a low to medum energy pup.  She LOVES going on walks and is good on leash.What she's great at: When she earns your trust, she is a great cuddler.  She is house broken and happy to be in her crate.What she's working on: Trusting new people.  Coming from a hoarding situation she didn't have exposure to much so she is learning that there is a big beautiful world out there.Personality: Zara is a sweet little girl.  She warmed up to her foster family very quickly but she is nervous when meeting new people.  She would prefer to come to you in her time frame.  She was recently at an event and, in a relatively short amount of time, she was started making friends with people as long as they ignored her and allowed her to approach them.  Zara's Story: She was found in a hoarding situation in Grand Cayman.  She lived with a foster family there for a short time until they were able to get her to us.  Dream Home: She would love a quiet home with a patient family that will give her time to come out of her shell.  We feel that another dog would help her feel more comfortable but also feel that she may be fine on her own.  Zara would love someone that will take her on walks and maybe eventually a hike!  She also loves to cuddle on her foster dad's lap so seems to be the best of all worlds! ##2009612##

Story
Meet Jolene, the charming 2-year-old German Shepherd looking for her forever home! This sweet girl was discovered tied to a cluster of mailboxes with her pink leash, abandoned and confused. Initially cautious, Jolene quickly realized her rescuer was ready to help and leaped into her car - the rest is history!  Despite her past abandonment, Jolene is resilient and loves people. With her affectionate nature, Jolene is a people and dog enthusiast, always ready to play and make new friends. Don’t be fooled though, this fun girl loves a good nap cuddled on the couch with her people. Up-to-date on her shots and fixed, this lovable girl is eager to embark on adventures and bask in the love of a devoted family. Jolene’s zest for life requires an active household, as she’s prone to bouts of boredom that might manifest in the occasional chew or dig. An apartment left empty for hours won’t suit this loyal girl; she craves companionship and activity to thrive. So, if you’re seeking a sweet, loving, loyal girl to join your adventures, cuddle on the couch and be your best friend, look no further than Jolene, the German Shepherd with the most loving heart.  If you are interested in adopting Jolene, please contact her foster below: Mary Brandt, 210-601-9654, mary@chuckstransport.com You can also submit an application at the website below:  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.

Story
2 yr old Rocky is an intelligent and docile boy. He is a gentle giant. He is a happy-go-lucky boy who learns commands fast. He came from a home with many dogs and has never had any issue with them. In his current home, he has been kept separated from his foster brother who is reactive to other dogs, but he sees them through the gate and never once barks. Rocky is little timid in new situations. He loves car rides. He is excellent with children. He loves for the neighborhood kids to pet him. He is so polite and never jumps on anyone. Rocky is potty-trained and crate trained, although he is rarely crated, since he is very perfect outside a crate. During the freeze, he was patient about going out, and never once demanded to be taken out. He is a really sweet and tolerant pup. Rocky likes to run around in the backyard but once he is inside the house, he loves to lay on his foster parents’ bed or on the couch to feel closed to his humans. His foster dad says that he is the perfect dog. Rocky is 80 lb, neutered, is microchipped and is on heartworm and flea prevention. He can travel to most states and Canada for the right home. A fully fenced yard is mandatory for our dogs. Rocky is a flexible dog and lives to make his human happy. Rescue story: Rocky's owners always used to leave him outside and he would come up to the neighbor's home. Finally they moved and did not take Rocky with them. His neighbor took him in and is fostering him.
