04/12/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Shy Roxie is with us as her owners are moving to a place not allowing large dogs. She lived and played with other canines, is known to be friendly to children and strangers (although she would be timid at first with strangers) and would know a number of commands. She is said to be house trained. Roxie is wary at the care center. She is at the back of her arrival kennel although she accepts my leash. She walks slowly, the tail between her legs and acts submissively. She is trying very hard to be the good girl she truly is, comes when I call her, sits without me asking and looks at me with almost pleading eyes. Her face is strained into a smile…Help was on the way, though. A very dear household greeter we have at the care center, Ebony, entered the adjacent pen…Roxie came to meet her. No more tail between the legs, no more drooling…Roxie felt so much better to meet a friendly peer. She was not alone anymore… I was happy for her and hopeful that time will allow Roxie to open up more and allow her to meet a great new owner or family. Roxie is at the Manhattan Care Center. Come and meet her soon. A volunteer adds: Shy Roxie came out of her shell. Yep..many glowing comments on her walking log about how good, well mannered and friendly she is. She is such a pretty dog, so girly and attractive. She knows so well her friends and always welcomes me in her kennel. It is a pleasure to walk with her and spend time together in the yard. She kept well groomed during her stay at the care center and her spirit did not go down, on the contrary. She is just more loving than she showed at first, a very sweet and affectionate female. I am very proud of Roxie, her resilience and stable nature…Roxie will make, if given a chance, a wonderful forever best friend. Please, consider her.
