Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
HI GUYS...CAN YOU PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME? MY NAME IS ROXY AND I HAVE BEEN FAILED MISERABLY BY MY HUMANS. I WAS TIED TO A TREE AS A PUPPY WITH VERY LITTLE SHELTER, FOOD OR WATER BY MY OWNER. IF THAT WASNT HARD ENOUGH THERE WAS A VERY LARGE DOG NEXT DOOR WHO TORTURED ME EVERY DAY AND NIGHT THROUGH A CHAIN LINK FENCE AND ONLY HE WAS FREE...HE WOULD RUN THE FENCE LINE, GROWL, ATTEMPT TO SCALE THE FENCE. MY OWNER THEN MET A PERSON WHO CONVINCED HIM TO MOVE AWAY WITHOUT ME. HE LEFT ME ALONE AND SURRENDERED ME TO HIS MOM WHO WAS VERY OLD BUT KNEW HOW MUCH I HAD BEEN THROUGH AND SHE FELT SO BAD FOR ME, WHICH IS WHEN SHE CONTACTED MY ANGELS, AKA MY RESCUE. THEY CRIED VERY HARD WHEN THEY HEARD MY STORY AND IMMEDIATELY AGREED TO TAKE ME IN. AS A RESULT OF MY BEING TIED TO THAT DARN TREE, NO ONE EVER TAUGHT ME SIT, STAY ETC....I NEVER EVEN GOT HUMAN TOUCH. WELL....MY RESCUE SPRUNG INTO ACTION, BEGGED FOR DONATIONS TO GET ME TO A TRAINER SO THAT I COULD LEARN HOW TO START BEING A DOGGIE....BEST THING EVER!! THEY FOUND OUT THAT I AM SO SMART, I WAS TAUGHT ALL OF MY COMMANDS, THAT I LOVE PEOPLE SO VERY MUCH,THAT I AM SO SWEET AND AM HOUSETRAINED... I JUST WANT TO FINALLY HAVE PEACE OF KNOWING THAT I DO DESERVE A WONDERFUL HOME...I AM SUCH A GOOD GIRL. AS A RESULT OF THAT DOG NEXT DOOR, I AM VERY SCARED OF DOGS, SO I WILL DO BEST IN AN ONLY DOG HOUSEHOLD. CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE ME A CHANCE, I PROMISE I WILL REPAY YOU IN KISSES AND LOVE FOREVER....THANK YOU SO MUCH, ROXY....
