Meet the cutest little guy around! He is a compact ball of love and we call him our "Walmart Greeter". Carson's person died a couple of years ago and he is needing a new home. Carson is a happy little guy who loves everyone and gets along great with other dogs. Carson is playful, housebroken, snuggly, likes to play with toys and would love a family to call his own again. This little guy is part Shih Tzu part.... Bassett?? A short, stocky little man for sure. Don't let those little legs fool you though, he likes to run and play with the big dogs. Carson is housebroken, so the hard work is done for you! He is an adult with a lot of life left! Let him snuggle up to you and you can heal his little heart. If you'd like to adopt Carson, please fill out our online application at www.goofyfootrescue.org Carson is in foster care in West TN and will be transported once his adoption is finalized.

Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.HAZEL says 'HI' and she would love to have a home of her own to love and care for her.  She loves to get her head rubbed and just hang out with her human to be close.  She is a great cuddler and just loves to hang around you.   At 3 years old and 12 pounds she makes a great companion for any family that is willing to let her hang out with you and just give her the love and attention she so deserves. HAZEL and her son were owner surrendered to me by a backyard breeder who only had the dogs in her home to make money.  Surprisingly HAZEL has a great, quiet and mild temperament with no aggression in any area.  When I put her out to potty I have to make sure to leave her out a while because she tries to get right back in to follow me around the house. If you are interested in adopting HAZEL, 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.

Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.I love this little boy, he is a real sweetie for sure.  NICK is only 5 months old and 10 pounds, he will probably be 15 pounds as an adult Shih Tzu. He gets along great with all of the foster dogs and follows them out to go potty.  He is crate and house trained and can be trusted to be left alone in home while I am away.  He does use a crate though because there are several dogs in the home. NICK loves snacks and he takes them gently. He does share his crate but not because he has to do so.  Sometimes the puppy pugs take over and he just looks at me like 'what to do now?!!'  He has no aggression in any area, seriously this guy is a total sweetheart and a carinig personality. He does need to be groomed and grooming will be part of his upkeep. If you are interested in adopting NICK, 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.

Story
Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.This beautiful girl is LUNA, a 7 year old, 12 pound pure breed Shih Tzu.  She is just a delight to have in my home.  LUNA is very quiet and so well-mannered.  She loves to cuddle with me and sleeps in one spot, no moving all over the bed like some dogs do.  She walks well on a leash and rides in the car without getting sick.   Even though she is a cuddler, she gets along with the other dogs in the house just fine, she shares her food bowl as well as her crate.  LUNA can be trusted to be left alone in the home while you are gone, she is completely crate and potty trained. Her personality is soft and sweet and she deserves her own home.  She had been owned by a family since she was a small puppy.  They rehomed her to someone else and that person rehomed her and she ended up on the streets which is where I found her.  Believe me there is no reason this precious lady should have been on the streets, she is no trouble at all. If you are interested in adopting LUNA 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.
