Name: DudeSex: MaleDOB: 10/1/2024Breed: Shih Tzu mix Weight: 12 poundsLocation: BuffaloHi, I'm Dude! I am the biggest love in the entire world.  All I want is to be next to my human 24/7.  I give the best cuddles you could ever ask for!!!  I sleep through the night and no accidents as long as you keep me on a schedule.  I finally know what its means to be safe, loved and part of a home after living in not the greatest of conditions.  I prefer to have humans all to myself but I tolerate submissive, not in your face, female dogs.If you are interested in adopting Dude, please apply at https://www.716paws.org/adopt or message the rescue if you are already pre-approved. ##2576045##

Story
Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.This is a real gem of a pet, do not miss out on this gentle gentleman named PHILLIP. He is 2 years old and a very small 13 pounds. We all thought he barely weighed 10 pounds. How in the world could someone put this adorable little guy out in the streets? He was so matted and dirty and no microchip and after posting him on social media looking for his owner, no one came forward. I am honored to have him in my home, no faults for him, a total and complete package. He is routine, he knows where his house is and when you let him out he goes straight to the backdoor to go outside to potty. He ventures around a little outside, exploring new stuff and then comes back so he can spread all of his love. Okay, sorry for the hack job I did on grooming him but my main concern was just to get the matting off. I cannot tell you how giddy this guy makes me, he is such a good little sport. PHILLIP is non-reactive to dogs, he does not care if they are barking their heads off, he just goes trotting along about his business. There is no aggression in him anywhere. I love holding and kissing on him and you can just feel that he is so grateful. He walks great on a leash, no pulling and rides in the car without getting sick looking out the window to see what the world has to offer.Do not take time to think about this guy, he is a great catch and a wonderful family pet.

Story
Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.ANTWAN is a 3 year old, 20 pound Shih Tzu male who has a brother in SONIC, a 3 year old, 15 pound Pekingese.  They were owner surrendered by a lady who started a 2-legged human family and could not give these guys the time and love they deserve.  They certainly deserve a 2nd home that can offer them love. I do not have pictures of them together but included a picture of SONIC on here and you can look him up on our website below. ANTWAN is more independent than SONIC, ANTWAN is the leader.  But he is still a super sweet and mellow guy, he is bonded with SONIC.  As I am writing this, ANTWAN actually jumped the puppy gate and upstairs with me and SONIC is downstairs barking for him to come back.  Neither of them are barkers, both are very quiet.  I am not sure I can separate them and I am evaluating them while they are in my home.  They do play with other dogs but they stick by each other.  ANTWAN is the more outgoing independent one while SONIC is more of a cuddle bug baby. ANTWAN will need to be groomed regularly to prevent matting that hurts them.  He came to me extremely overgrown with mats and he was such a great boy at allowing me to shave him down.  I will get more pictures of him once I have completed his grooming but please overlook my handy work, I am no groomer. Both of them crave attention and love and they are very well-mannered.  They walk well on a leash and ride in the car without getting sick.  For the time being I would love for them to go to the same home together as the owner told me they have been together all of their lives. If you are interested in adopting both of them or at least have another dog in the home that either of them can bond with, 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.

Story
Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.I just cannot seem to get good pictures of him but do not hold it against him.  He is a pretty boy that will not sit still and pose!  ANTWAN is a 3 year old, 16 pound pure breed Shih Tzu who is better in person than his pictures appear. He is quiet, crate and potty trained, he rides in the car without getting sick and he walks well on a leash.  He learns quickly and adjust well to new environments.  ANTWAN was owner surrendered with his partner SONIC who is also posted on here and needs a home.  They do NOT need to be adopted together but each one of them would love to have a doggy playmate in the home.  Their previous owner welcomed a 2-legged human into her home and felt she did not have time to devote to their 2 dogs. ANTWAN is more independent and the leader of the 2.  He is not stuck under your feet all day but he does come around and lay at your feet when sitting on the couch, he likes to have his special time to get his hugs and love.  He is good with being groomed and taking a bath.  Really, ANTWAN does not complain about anything, he just goes with the flow without complaint.  He is easy to care for on a daily basis but he will need to go to the groomer every 6-8 weeks.  I will be shaving him down today so new pictures will be available.   If you are interested in adopting ANTWAN, 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 cute little boy is ANDY, he was named Raggedy ANDY because he looks so bad full of mats and overgrown hair.  He had been on the streets a long time by no fault of his own.  Someone on a street in San Antonio knew him and his owner.  His owner died and the family put poor ANDY on the streets.  The neighbors felt sorry for him and would take turns feeding him.  Once the winter got cold on a 26 degree night, a friendly neighbor put a sweater on him and allowed him to sleep in their gargage but that neighbor too tossed him back on the streets.  Another neighbor could not stand it any longer and called me to take him in. It took 2 days to groom ANDY with the hard mounds of mats on him and he just sat there very quiet and patiently waiting to get all of the stuff off of him.  Pictures are available. ANDY is 2 years old and 18 pounds and a great little guy.  He really likes following me around but he is pretty independent, not a velcro dog although he does like to cuddle and be close to watch TV.  He walks very well on a leash and does not get car sick and of course he still very well for a bath and to be groomed which he will need to be groomed about every 6-8 weeks. He gets along with the other foster dogs, crate and potty trained.  If you are interested in adopting ANDY 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.
