Story
Tango is one handsome dude and he is proud of it.  He is also very grateful to have been saved/rescued and in a loving foster home.  He has been a good guest and causes no problems for his foster mom. Tango is 3 years old and 60 pounds.  He was found on the streets of San Antonio and taken to our very high kill shelter.  Their faces just begged to be saved so we pulled them. His behavior and temperament has been mild and calm.  He likes to go for walks and walks well on a leash.  Tango actually wants to do whatever you want to do, he is just happy to hang around you.  We believe he would do best in a home as the only dog because he has a little temper tantrum when having to share his foster mom. Tango rides well in cars without getting car sick.  We transport across the United States.  Thank you for looking.   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 5, 2024, 5:32 pm

I'm the result of a litter from an unspayed mom. Just a youngster that is wanting nothing more then a loving home. I'm such a sweetie that it won't take long to have you wrapped right around my paw!! I'm only 7 months old, an active playful and adorable pup ready to have a blast with my new family. Let's get ready...for everything!! Neighborhood strolls, nature hikes, camping trips or trips to town, it's all fun stuff for me! I come in at about 38lbs and shouldn't get a whole lot bigger at my adult weight. What a pawsome size for all those fun activities and action packed adventures. But guess what? There's still plenty of room for you on the couch so we can get our snuggles on!! I've got a very sweet and submissive demeanor that will make for me being a great family addition!! I love people both tall and small and I do great with the other foster pups here. I'm working on my house training skills and am doing really good with it, knowing how to use the doggie door when I need to go out. Are you looking for the sweetness factor along with the energy level to keep up with all your activities? Oh my, you just found me! Hurry and fill out my adoption application so we can start having all that fun all the time!! These 2 brothers include - Jay and Bowser

Meet Keiko!! WE ARE A TX BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application found at haydudeequine.org Keiko - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! The name Keiko is of Japanese origin meaning 'happy child'. That name sure fits me to a T as I'm such a happy happy girl with always a smile on my face. I'm about 10 months old and an active gal that is also super affectionate and cuddly. Nothing comes close to getting snuggly with my people! Since I am still just a pup although a fully grown one but a pup none the less, I will need lots of exercise and playtime. I do great with dogs and kids and wouldn't mind at all if I were to get a sibling of either variety to have a blast with in the yard or I'd also be a happy happy gal getting all the attention as your one and only! I'm a smart lil cookie (I know cuz my foster mom tells me it's so!) and have already mastered a few basic commands such as sit, shake, down and am improving on my leash skills. I love to learn, being as I'm a real people pleaser and can't wait to see what else I can pick up. My favoritest things are playing ball, going for car rides, trips to the doggie park and taking walks! I'm at the perfectly pawsome size of 60lbs to tag along on ALL of our action packed adventures!! I have a velvety soft coat and some amazing colored eyes (they match my coat!!) that you can get lost in! If you add in my affectionate and playful nature I'm got the makings to be a fabulous family addition. I'm just needing YOU to fill out my adoption application!!

Please note that we are a TX based rescue that transports our dogs once they are adopted. All our dogs reside in foster homes in TX. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org Bluebell - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! Love (v), a very strong affection, intense feelings of devotion and compassion...see also American Staffy I was named after the Bluebell flower which symbolizes gratitude and humility. Wow that's a mighty big name to live up to, but I'm up for the challenge as I'd be forever grateful to know a loving home and I can be very modest about having all that love heaped on me. And of course, you also have Bluebell Ice Cream which is a cool delicious sweet treat. Oh my, yep, I'm definitely named after the ice cream!! Wow, pretty as a flower and sweet as ice cream. That is a mighty big win win! At around 3 years and coming in at around 63lbs, I'm a good size gal but don't worry that just means they is more of me to put a whole lot of lovins on you. I don't know about you but I find that a pretty good win for both of us too!! I am a very affectionate gal that loves loves loves my people.. both tall and small. I'm super laidback and calm, just going with the flow, enjoying my people time that includes lots of cuddles. I also do great with other pups and love my outings especially when I get to go visit all my friends (both 2 and 4 legged) at the doggie park or at doggie daycare. What can I say, I make friends with everyone, everywhere I go!!!! I love getting attention, sunbathing, car rides, going for walks, my spa days and to top it all off, I'm house trained too. Now that's another winning combination!! My breed are known for their affectionate, loving nature and are also low in grooming maintenance. Just a quick bath, brush and nail trim and I'm ready to go!! I would make great company for someone that works from home or who is retired. With my friendly nature and calm ways I'd even be a great first time pet parent pup!! Loving, housetrained, good with the kiddos, good with other dogs, cuddly... WOW! I'm all that wrapped up in one big package. The only thing missing is YOU, but we can fix that easily , just stop what you're doing and fill out my adoption application and I'll be happy to take it from there!!

WE ARE A TX BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application found at haydudeequine.org Magnolia - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! Hey there! My name is Magnolia or you can just call me Maggie, your future pocket-sized dynamo and soon-to-be best friend! If you’re looking for a pint-sized partner with smarts to match, look no further. I’m a whiz at puzzle toys (watch me go!), and I adore my stuffed animal squad. But what I love most? Cuddling up right next to you! Looking for a buddy to hit the trails or explore neighborhoods? I’m your girl! And if you’re into running, give me a little warm-up time, and I’ll be sprinting alongside you before you know it! I recently had a sleepover with my shelter BFFs, and guess what? I’m a lap-hogging, cuddle champion. Despite my current digs in a kennel, I’m totally house-trained. I’m a pro at letting you know when it’s potty time, and I keep it accident-free indoors. At night, I’m the perfect snooze buddy, sticking close and not causing a single fuss. I’m pretty good at hanging solo indoors when you need to step out. No worries there! Plus, I’ve got this cozy crate where I can nap and dream about our next adventure until you get back. So, whether you’re at work or just running errands, I’ll be right here waiting, tail wagging and all, ready for snuggles the minute you walk through the door. I thrive in a calm, adult-only home where I can unwind and get all cozy again. I’ve had doggo siblings before and could totally hang with another calm canine who can show me the ropes at home. Cats, though? Not so much my jam—no hard feelings, kitty lovers! Think we could be a match made in heaven? Come by and let’s meet! I’m here, wagging away, just waiting for my forever family. Could that be you? Let’s find out!
