Story
Why is this dog’s name Jumper? Well, it’s because he will scale any height to capture his one true prize: your heart! Jumper is the perfect lap dog, and he is always happiest when he is held close. A sweet and short little socialite, he isn’t attached to any one person, though– he will accept cuddles from everyone! This means Jumper would make a lovable family dog, or a doting pet to a single pet parent. Jumper is curious about other animals and would likely fit into a “pack” given a proper introduction. He likes to play and explore when he isn’t busy soliciting snuggles. At just a year old, he is eager to learn, although he appears to have good house manners already. Jumper also poses perfectly for photos, and with those Papillon ears, he is simply irresistible. Apply to meet him today!

Prospective adopters must be able to travel to San Antonio to complete the adoption process.  Please apply online at http://texasgreatdane.org/adoption-application/ ** Meet Aaron – Your New Best Friend with a Bonus Tongue-Out Smile! Aaron is a 2-year-old, 23-pound Lhasa Apso/Terrier mix who is equal parts sweetheart and comedian. One look at his adorable little tongue peeking out (thanks to a missing bottom canine tooth) and you’ll be completely smitten. This handsome boy does wonderfully in a kennel and is housebroken with the use of a dog door, making him an easy addition to your home. Aaron is a gentle, affectionate pup who loves people and enjoys being part of the family. He gets along best with female dogs and would thrive in a home where he can have calm canine companionship or be your one-and-only prince. Aaron has a sweet nature, a soft soul, and just the right amount of spunk to keep life fun. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with a one-of-a-kind smile, Aaron might be the perfect match for you! Please understand you are committing to providing a good home for his entire life (up to 15+ years or more.)

Story
Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.Meet JERRY, a very happy guy who simply gets along with everyone, humans and dogs, big and small.  JERRY is a Papillon mix with a very soft coat to go along with his soft soul.  He is 1 1/2 years old and weighs 10 pounds. This guy was left behind at an apartment complex when his owners moved out and I cannot make any sense of why they did not take him because I have not had any trouble out of him.  He is quiet, crate and potty trained and walks well on a leash.  There is no aggression in him anywhere, he shares his food bowl and his toys with the other dogs. He lives to cuddle with you and at 10 pounds he is easy to pick up and he will not grow any bigger.  You can take him everywhere and expect a well-mannered gentleman at all times. If you are interested in adopting JERRY 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. 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.         May 4, 2025, 1:32 pm
