Story
My name is Roxy. I am 11 years old, spayed, and looking to share my love with that special family. I am housetrained, leash trained, and love car rides, especially if I get a pup cup!! I can chill with the best of them, but I also have my sprits of energy - I love to play fetch! Curiosity is my middle name, and I get along with others. If you’d love to be my forever family, go to www.abetterlifeanimalrescue.com for an adoption application. We prefer to stay within a 75ish mile radius of Morganton, NC. Adoption: $100

Story
**PLEASE BE SURE YOU ARE READY TO ADOPT WHEN REQUESTING AN APPLICATION!!** 1-29-26::"Hello everyone, my name is LIL BIT and it fits me so well! I am a little bit of a doggie, weighing in at just 11 pounds, and I am full of sass and attitude! But that's not such a bad thing, AND I do need an owner who will understand that I am not a perfect dog--yet. Allow me to explain: I came to this great rescue with 2 of my housemates, after we were found abandoned on the streets, fending for ourselves. A nice Animal Control Officer came and rescued us, but while my 2 housemates were fine with everyone at the shelter, I was a little harder of a nut to crack. The shelter asked my Mom if she would consider taking all of us, and she didn't hesitate one minute, so here I am! Now, it was a little rough going for the first few weeks--I had to be picked up with a towel, but once picked up I was OK and will cuddle, but don't try picking me up without that towel! My Mom worked so hard and slowly with me, to show me that she wasn't so bad, and BINGO, it paid off--I can now be picked up without the towel, and no snapping!! I just need my potential adopter to know, that I will need that extra time to adjust, and to please allow me that time and not give up on me! I am good for my grooming, with the occasional nip, but I mean no harm. Mom says that I am about 3 years old, am spayed, chipped, current on my vaccines, heartworm negative, along with house/crate/leash trained. I do need a home with no small children, and I am good with other dogs, but cats I don't know" "Do I sound like a girl you'd like to have in your life, and have the patience to work with me a few weeks till I adjust, not give up on me right away? I promise I am worth the wait! If interested, email my Mom at citizens4animals@yahoo.com for an application or any questions you may have about me. PLEASE DO NOT call the number on here, email, as emails are constantly monitored! My adoption fee is $300.00 to cover all my current vetting" "Till we meet" Love, LIL BIT **GOOD VERIFIABLE VET REFERENCE REQUIRED**
