Story

Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.This stunning, smiling little guy is ROCK. Maybe I should not say little as he weighs a whopping 25 pounds, which is kind of big for a Shih Tzu but he is that. The vet says he needs to lose at least 20. He is 4 years old. ROCK was an owner surrender to a small Texas shelter from the son of an 83 year old man who has dementia. We are hoping to place ROCK in a home that he'll be happy and keep that glowing smile! He is in a foster home with other dogs as we do not have a shelter. I do not have any cats so I do not know how he would do with them. ROCK likes to hang around you but he is independent and quietly follows you around the house. He is not a barker unless he wants something. I do not have a doggy door, I just let the dogs out of my backdoor every few hours for a potty break and that is the word I use 'Potty.' Even though he has not missed a meal, he does enjoy breakfast and dinner time! He walks well on a leash, rides in the car without getting sick and would make a good companion for anyone. If you are interested in adopting ROCK, 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. We transport across the United States. Medical records will come with each dog at the time of adoption. Our organization is run by volunteers/foster parents, please be patient to give us time to respond to your emails and/or phone calls. We will reply to you. Thank you. December 7, 2025, 1:38 pm

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Pickles. This social little guy has a history as a neighborhood explorer! He was found running loose in a subdivision, charming everyone he met. Much like his fellow canine adventurers, he was rescued multiple times, but his determination to roam led him to cleverly dig his way out of every yard he was placed in. He is eager to trade his escaping days for a secure yard and a forever family who can give him the attention and secure environment he craves. Pickles is a true social butterfly who thrives on human interaction and affection. He promises to be a delightful addition to any family. He was born around 12/03/2024 and weighs 14.9 pounds. During his vet visit, it was noted that he has a Grade 1 heart murmur, which is the mildest form of the condition and is easily manageable. This little diagnosis hasn't slowed him down one bit! If you’re looking for a joyful, affectionate companion who is full of life and personality, Pickles is your perfect match. His adoption fee is $400. You can apply to bring this sweet boy home today at www.adoggie4you.org. 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.

Story

Brodie and his two sisters, Bubbles and Buttercup were surrendered to a kill shelter because their owners just had too many and couldn’t find homes on their own. Their mom is a long-haired Chihuahua and their daddy is a Shih Tzu and they were born on February 2nd this year so they are nine months old. Brodie has been neutered, is up-to-date on vaccines and heartworm negative. He’s also microchipped. He weighs just under 12 pounds and is probably full grown now. Brodie is great at the Vet and The Groomer and loves riding in the car. He needs a little practice on the leash and he’s making great progress on his house training. Brodie absolutely loves being held! He is a real snuggler! He would be fine with older children, and he loves his sisters so after proper intro he would like other 4 legged family members. If you would like to give this super affectionate love bug his forever home, please email omlc7@hotmail.com or dogs4mylife@gmail.com. If you do not see a response, please check your spam folder.
