You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Billie, the 16-pound marshmallow who recently pulled off the greatest prison break in San Antonio history. Born around January 2023, this white Maltipoo mix traded his "ruff" life at the pound for a life of luxury, and frankly, he’s not looking back. Billie’s current hobbies include being aggressively sweet, making friends with every dog he meets, and basking in the spotlight like the tiny celebrity he clearly is. He’s currently working on his PhD in "Going Potty Outside" and is showing some seriously promising progress. If you’re looking for a low-shedding sidekick who thinks he’s the main character of your life, Billie is your guy. You can submit your application to be his personal assistant (officially known as an "adopter") at  A Doggie 4 You . His adoption fee is $400—a small price to pay for a lifetime of fluff and unconditional love. This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $225. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 16, 2026, 10:42 am

Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.This little guy is having so much fun living a good life and he would like a home of his own to continue his adventure.  ACE was an owner surrender but came very matted (picture included) so he needed to be shaved down to clean him up.  He is a much happier dog now. ACE weighs 8 pounds, gets along with all of the foster dogs in his home, walks well on a leash and rides in the car without getting sick, he enjoys looking out the window.  He is potty trained but I keep a belly band on him for my comfort just in case he wants to follow the lead of another male dog here who is a leg lifter.  He does go potty outside with the other dogs. ACE is loving getting love and attention, although he follows me around he is quiet about it and still independent but he melts when I give him head rubs.  He does not jump on the furniture but loves it when I lift him up to cuddle. although he doesn't stay long, he jumps down and starts to play! I recommend that ACE go to a home with kids above 12 years old who know how to interact with a very small dog.  He would make a great companion to a retired person/couple who are looking for that special buddy. If you are interested in adopting ACE, 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.
