Story
Pass the hot sauce, because this guy is bringing all the flavor! Boudin arrived with his brother, Scampi, after being owner-surrendered. While we have already received a few applications for Scampi, we can't wait to see Boudin get adopted, because he's got his own seasoning for the senior dog lovers out there! Boudin is a ten-year-old buddy boy who has been a perfect angel in foster care. He gets along great with the other foster dogs in the home since being separated from his brother, although he is attached to his foster mother at the hip. Boudin is perfectly potty trained, quiet, and softer than velvet to snuggle with. He had originally arrived at SNIPSA with matted and overgrown fur, but his foster even went above and beyond to get him groomed. Now, he is looking (and feeling) better than he has in years! Smart as he is charming, Boudin has enough wit to keep you on your toes, and enough heart to fill up your whole house. From backyard expeditions to scouting out the best spot on the sofa for a long nap, his personality is nothing short of a celebration. Boudin is ready for a family that appreciates a little extra zest and a whole lot of joie de vivre. So, are you ready to add some authentic Louisiana soul to your routine? Apply to adopt Boudin today!

Story
Torta has said goodbye to the rush of her younger days and is now ready for something softer, something lasting—a home where she can finally feel she belongs. What she longs for is quiet companionship, a gentle routine, and a heart to rest beside. True to her breed, Torta is the ultimate lapdog. Shih Tzus are famous for their affectionate nature and minimal exercise needs, and Torta is a shining example of both. She prefers the "slow life," finding immense joy in the simplest moments—a warm sunbeam for a nap, a soft hand to pet her, and the comfort of knowing she isn’t alone. She is currently being treated for chronic dry eye, a result of not always having the care she deserved before. With treatment, there’s hope for continued improvement—and through it all, she remains trusting, tender, and full of love to give. Life with Torta: Gentle & Devoted: Torta treasures closeness. Belly rubs, soft blankets, and simply being near her person are her greatest joys. She thrives in a calm, peaceful home where life moves at a slower, more loving pace. A Quiet Wanderer: Her adventures are simple and sweet—leisurely walks, stopping to take in the world one scent at a time, greeting kind strangers with a soft wag of her tail. If your heart is drawn to quiet days, unconditional love, and the kind of companionship that asks for little but gives so much, Torta may be the one you’ve been waiting for. All she needs now is someone to choose her—for good. Apply to adopt.

Story
Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.This stout short & stocky guy reminds me of a heavy and strong TANK so that is what I named him.  He is 35 pounds and a medium-small dog that is 5 years old and just built sturdy and solid.  He has a bit of Shih Tzu in him with that Terrier.  Now his personality is just the opposite, he is sooooo well-mannered with a curious behavior.  He follows me around like a student waiting for me to guide him and teach him what to do.  TANK is mellow, very quiet and just goes with the flow.  He never bothers the other foster dogs and they do not bother him.  He is crate and potty trained, walks well on a leash and jumps right in the car ready to go wherever. This guy would be a great first dog or a dog for someone who is not that active because the daily maintenance on him is very low.  He does enjoy a leisurely walk though because he likes to sightsee. We know he is some type of terrier mix but not sure what kind and he will probably need to be groomed every 3-4 months to keep his pretty golden coat looking good. If you are interested in adopting TANK, 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.         March 12, 2026, 9:09 am
