07/08/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Roxanne is a zesty little girl, a very young adult barely out of puppyhood, full of life, energetic, playful and friendly…Roxanne is with us as her owner could not care for a pet anymore. She left with us quite sweet notes about Roxanne, the most meaningful to us being that she is wonderful with small children and loves other dogs. She would also be mostly house trained, very playful and energetic and affectionate. Roxanne has been well cared for. She is sociable, well nourished and beautifully dressed in a tiger Lilly dress. Her eyes are sharp, glittering and ready to capture any information that she will translate into action…A dog to salute, a ball to run after and to catch, a bird to chase or a treat to savor ….A busy little bee she is. Pretty Roxanne is quite an enthusiastic youngster who seems very fond of people, other pooches and loves to play…She needs most likely an active owner or family who will give her plenty of exercise and things to do. Given a chance, she will make a very fun to be forever best friend but also a loving companion. Roxanne is at the Manhattan Care Center.
