Roxie is ready for her forever home!
Update:
Many individuals have been inquiring about Roxie. I’m providing an update to her status as she was on medical hold and now she is ready to find the right home for her. She will need a family that will help her with some special needs. Originally, Roxie had higher levels of protein in her urine and the Vet has recommended 2.5 mL or .5 teaspoon Omega-3 Fish Oil to place on her food. The 2 products recommended are Welactin Omega-3 which runs about $19.99 for 120 softgels month supply from your Vet or Nordic Naturals Omega-3 Pet oil supplement which runs about $22.00 for a 3 month supply from Amazon. Roxie was also having urine accidents in the house. Unfortunately, foster mom and dad were not picking up on her cues that she needed to go out and potty again so quickly. The foster mom thought she might have Cushing's disease as she would drink excessive amounts of water and then would need to go potty again after just recently going out. Good news, no diagnosis of Cushing's disease.
So, with the consultation from the rescue's vet, several recommendations have been put in place for Roxie. Foster mom and dad work to control her water intake to a schedule 16 ounces of water several times during the day and no water after 8pm. This allows for Roxie to be on a schedule for her water and controlled potty outside. The vet believes this will help her brain/potty connection. Foster mom and dad are also getting better at picking up on her cues when she needs to go out between potty breaks. This has significantly reduced her accidents in the house. There are times when she is left at home for several hours that a diaper is used. Roxie has no problems wearing a diaper. She shows it off proudly with her suspenders. :) This little girl loves her human family!! She is so happy and generous with her love and attention to her foster family.
*Roxie came to rescue as an owner surrender due to no fault of her own. Her previous owners now have children and activities away from the home. Roxie was left crated for many hours daily. The previous owners wanted her to have a family that could be home with her. In her current foster home, Roxie is not crated and can be trusted in the home with a diaper.
Roxie is a beautiful silky brown Schnauzer with beautiful soulful amber eyes. When Roxie first came into rescue she was very shy and quiet. Now that she feels comfortable and safe, she plays and follows her foster Mom and Dad around the house. She also can be a little bossy to her foster brothers and sisters. She loves being with her people. She is a very happy and spry 10 year old. She doesn’t act her age. We believe Roxie was leash walked to do her “business” as she was reluctant to go outside without someone. She still needs someone to go out with her when it’s time to do her "business" to ensure it is complete. Otherwise, she loves to explore the backyard by herself and runs and plays with the other dogs. Roxie loves to ride in the car; she is always ready to go. So... she is happy to travel with you on your adventures. She’s a really good loving girl.
This girl is an absolute doll baby that is well-mannered and extremely loveable. If interested in her, please place an application.
