Story
From racing in the hallways to snuggling in the sheets, this brother and sister duo know the ins and outs of winning your favor! Tokyo and Drift are two sweet pups that once lived together in a home. After unexpected circumstances caused them to switch gears, these siblings roared on over to SNIPSA for a second chance. Tokyo and Drift are funny, unique, and total sweethearts — we know it won’t take long for them to cross the finish line with a new family! Someone trained them very well, because they have great manners and seem to tolerate other animals. They have also mastered their puppy dog eyes at mealtime, they rarely bark, and they’re full-grown at just under two years old. They would make the ideal lapdogs for your favorite action-packed movie binge sessions. We would love to see Tokyo and Drift get adopted together, but they are so easygoing that they may choose to spin their wheels on different roads. So, start your engines, because these two will quickly leave us in the dust! 3…2…1… Apply today!

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!

Story
Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.Okay, this little boy came with his name AVIS as an owner surrender!!!  But he does not respond to the name at all.  Even when he laying on my side relaxing does he respond to his name.  He loves to lay with you and cuddle but he is very obedient when you put him down because you need some room for yourself. AVIS is a 3 1/2 year old, 15 pound Lhasa Apso/Shih Tzu.  The owner swore him as a Shih Tzu but he vet determined that he is mixed with Lhasa Apso.  Truth is he is just a mixture of beauty!!  And his temperament is sooooo sweet.  He was a bit shy when I first got him and he needed a few days to adjust before he became comfortable enough to run around with the other foster dogs.  He doesn't bother them and they do not bother him although he seems to enjoy watching them play.  He came from a home with a 12 year old dog. AVIS was owner surrendered because of some major lifestyle changes and she could no longer care for him.  In the past few months he has been living in several different environments.  I bet he would just like to be normal and stable in a loving home.  AVIS only had the 1 owner since he was a baby. He walks great on a leash, no pulling and he walks at your pace.  AVIS is a very easy going guy.  He for sure needs to be groomed but if I groom him it will be more of a hack job!! If you are interested in adopting AVIS, 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.         August 20, 2025, 12:57 pm

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.
