Meet Bobby!Breed Guess: Shih Tzu/Chihuahua.                                       Age: Young Adult....1-2 years old.                                 Weight: 11.2lb...he is a perfect, petite, and  handsome boy Other Animals: Bobby is great with other dogs of all ages and sizes and will play very respectfully with them. He tolerates cats so this can be evaluated on a case by case basis.Kids: Seems comfortable with the respectful kids he has met but is still learning about how they work.House training: Working on it but progressing well and will improve further now that he is neutered.Exercise needs: Bobby has a great energy level but will settle when he is home with his human. He LOVES playing with other dogs so we would prefer a home where he has opportunities to do that and/or a dog sibling or two. He likes a reasonably long walk or fenced in area to adventure per day.What he's great at: Being respectful in the home, walking on leash, traveling in the car, learning, and cuddling!What he's working on: House training, not barking at humans, and not being vocal on a walk.Personality: Bobby is upbeat, fun, sweet, & a cuddle bug.  He loves to cozy up next to his human on the couch!Bobby's Story: His original humans ended their relationship and his new mom found that she and her young son were not the best fit for him.Dream Home: A house with a fenced in yard. Another dog sibling to play and share adventures. Older respectful children will be considered in the right home. An adult that has flexible work hours or would consider dog daycare or play dates weekly. ##2261941##

Story
Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.HAZEL says 'HI' and she would love to have a home of her own to love and care for her.  She loves to get her head rubbed and just hang out with her human to be close.  She is a great cuddler and just loves to hang around you.   At 3 years old and 12 pounds she makes a great companion for any family that is willing to let her hang out with you and just give her the love and attention she so deserves. HAZEL and her son were owner surrendered to me by a backyard breeder who only had the dogs in her home to make money.  Surprisingly HAZEL has a great, quiet and mild temperament with no aggression in any area.  When I put her out to potty I have to make sure to leave her out a while because she tries to get right back in to follow me around the house. If you are interested in adopting HAZEL, 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.
