Story
Now Fostered in Bothell WA!! If happiness had a mascot, I’m pretty sure it would at the least resemble Koi. This boy is the definition of a peoples-dog, spreading wiggly affectionate and an enthusiasm for love everywhere he goes. To him, it is absolutely a thrill to be loved! The moment you start petting him, you can see him light up like it’s the best day of his life- tail wagging, body wiggling, whole-face smile.. Standing still for love is just not his style! Take a look at him in action- it's worth it- then come back to read more - https://youtu.be/_-aMxaMQHH4 Koi is estimated to be 1.5-year-old, he weighs 33-lbs and we suspect he is a pug mix but we cannot guarantee breed or birthday considering he is a rescue. Koi enjoys adventure and is an eager explorer who has basic leash skills and will polish to perfection with practice and the occasional gentle correction. He checks in often and is happy to deliver on your expectation. Dog-wise, Koi is a social and playful guy. No surprise right, you can just see it in him. We spent the afternoon introducing him to new dogs and watching him play and he was polite during on leash introduction, with a little excitement sneaking in here and there but it was all in a friendly nature. He loves a good playmate with matching energy- think medium-energy, fun-loving dogs who enjoy a mix of zooming around playing chase followed by extended chill-time. Koi’s ideal home will give him an outlet for his energy- walks, playdates, or backyard fun- and people who don’t mind his occasional joyful jumps or sneaky smooches (aka-face licks.) He’s a small package with a big-dog heart and a contagious joy for life.The perfect dog if you love hosting and have a dog-loving bunch of friends and family. He is friendly, outgoing, and greets new people with open paws and a full-body wiggle, so much so that people may want to come over just to hang out with him. He does jump up gently to give hugs so a family with slightly older kids who can handle his excitement would be perfect. This boy is going to be the sweetest sidekick and promises to help keep life fun. If the words compact bundle of sunshine or wiggly joy are on your list of must-have qualities for your dog, look no further Koi is your boy and his tail is already wagging for you!

Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.PUDDIN' and her mother PEACHES are 2 pugs that were dumped early one morning at a local car dealership.  Luckily there were some employees who are dog lovers and took them in for a little while until I was able to pick them up. As usually we look for the flaws in a dog if it was intentionally dumped but very few times do we find any.  That certainly is the case with PUDDIN' & PEACHES, there is absolutely nothing wrong with them.  Each of them is very happy, PEACHES is the more social butterful and PUDDIN' is more reserved.  They love each other and love to be with each other although they do play and interact with the other foster dogs in the home. PUDDIN' is 9 months old and 14 pounds.  PEACHES is 3 years old and 13 pounds.  They both like to cuddle and get head rubs but PUDDIN' lays on her back to get a belly rub.  PUDDIN' is also the one with the slight underbite that makes her look just that more special. PEACHES & PUDDIN' do not need to be adopted together but they would be very happy dogs to have another dog in the home to play and cuddle with. They already walk well on a leash and ride in the car without getting sick.  And on the plus side they are not yeppers, no barking or whining, just running around playing and kind of submissive.  I would love for them to be adopted together but to separate them there would have to be another playful dog already in the home that is interested in one of them.  Neither of them would do well as an only dog. Their activity level is normal, nothing hyper but they do love to run around the backyard playing with each other and toys. If you are interested in adopting PEACHES and/or PUDDIN', please submit an application on the website below.  Thank you for your interest. 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.

Quinn is a fast-moving, goofy, tiger- stripped lovebug with just enough spice to keep life fun at full throttle. She gets along with other dogs, but would love to be your one and only! She brings the comedy and fun wherever she goes and is always ready for whatever is next on the agenda. She can stand on her cute little muscled up hind legs and walk like her humans for her favorite treats. She is a little athlete, ready to chase and frolock with anyone up to her challenge. She delights in giving kisses and ear washes. This cutie is a pro on leash walks and is pretty good with her house training. She loves children and will be most happy to be their bed partner to keep away the monsters. She is a mighty 19 pound little firecracker just waiting on her perfect family to scoop her up! We estimate she is about 2 years old. Her adoption fee is $399 and if she requires transport from her foster home in WEst TN there will be an additional $200 fee. She will be ready by the 3rd weekend of March once her vetting is complete. If you are interested in adopting please submit the application at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FFRR/Dog

Looking for a little dog with a whole lot of heart? Meet Ian! Ian is a 1.5-year-old black and white sweetheart who proves every day that a rough start does not define your future. This pint-sized boy previously suffered a hip injury, which has healed beautifully, and his happy, playful spirit never missed a beat. Ian is fun, boisterous, and full of contagious joy. He loves attention, enjoys romping around with his toys, and is always ready for a cuddle when playtime winds down. He does well with other dogs and would make a wonderful addition to a home with canine friends. Ian also loves his food and is happily not picky. He eats from a slow-feeder bowl to help him enjoy his meals at a healthy pace and aid digestion. Medical Transparency (the important but reassuring part): Ian has Diabetes Insipidus, which is not the same as diabetes mellitus. This condition affects how his body concentrates urine and has nothing to do with blood sugar. • Oral medication only — no shots or injections • Takes medication twice daily to maintain healthy urine concentration and support full bladder emptying • Medication may be lifelong or temporary, depending on future veterinary guidance • Medication cost can vary depending on the veterinarian or pharmacy • Needs frequent potty breaks Ian does wonderfully on his routine and is otherwise a happy, active, affectionate young dog. He is looking for a loving home that will appreciate his joyful personality and continue his simple daily care so he can thrive for years to come. Are you ready to give this resilient, playful boy the forever home he deserves? Basic Info: Male, 1 yr old, Boston Terrier/Chihuahua, Coat: Black and White, neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots and preventions, preventatives. Local adoption fee (Texas) - $200 Out of state adoption (includes transport to your area) ‐ $450

Meet Iris Moon! 🌙💗 Hold onto your hearts, because Iris Moon is about to bulldoze her way right into them — literally and figuratively! This little nugget of joy is short, stocky, and made entirely out of sunshine, slobbery kisses, and wiggles. With her big expressive eyes, smooshy smile, and that perfect little nub tail that never stops wagging, she’s basically a walking serotonin boost. Iris is what we like to call a “tiny tank” — compact, confident, and completely hilarious. She plays like a true bulldog: all heart, all energy, and maybe a little chaos sprinkled in for fun. She’s all about body slams, joyful grunts, and rolling around with her doggy friends. She’s the life of the party in playgroup and does fantastic with other dogs who can handle her big bulldog enthusiasm. She’s currently fostered with larger pups who match her play style perfectly, and she’d love a home with another big doggy buddy — or she’d be just as happy being the center of attention as your one and only cuddle queen! Go see what this girl is all about in her video! https://youtu.be/Z2i608RWnoU?si=fwRhJ5fBC9cmbUIU When she’s not busy making everyone laugh with her silly antics, Iris is a total sweetheart. She adores her humans and wants nothing more than to be snuggled up next to them. Couch time? She’s there. Movie night? She’s got the popcorn eyes ready. Nap time? She’s your girl. She gives the kind of cuddles that make every bad day better. And don’t even get her started on toys — they are her absolute favorite thing in the world! Whether it’s squeaky, bouncy, or fluffy, she’ll carry it around proudly like it’s her greatest treasure. Pair that with her treat motivation and smarts, and she’s a total dream to work with. Iris is crate trained, doing great with her routines, and would thrive in either a cozy apartment or a home with a backyard. She’s a great little mix of energy and calm — playful when it’s time for fun, but gentle and mellow when it’s time to chill. She’s smaller in size, so she’s easy to handle on leash (even if she likes to pull a bit when she’s excited to explore). She’d be best in a home without cats (she thinks they’re a little too interesting!) and would love older kids who can keep up with her bulldog zoomies and occasional “I love you so much I’m gonna barrel into you” moments. Iris Moon is pure joy in dog form — a snorting, smiling, wiggle-butt ray of sunshine who loves big, plays hard, and cuddles even harder. She’s got the bulldog sass, the puppy heart, and the kind of sweetness that fills a home with laughter and love. Whoever adopts this little moonbeam is getting the best of both worlds — the goofy giggles and the softest snuggles imaginable. 💗 Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
