08/22/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: How do you spell love? R-O-X-Y, that’s how. I am head over heels in love with this spunky, fun, loving senior. She’s gorgeous, well taken care of and her bright amber eyes sparkle with warmth, intelligence and fun. She is total sweetness wrapped up in a gorgeous tan coat, and her greying muzzle is the only thing that reflects her age. With us because her owner is homeless, we’re told that Roxy has been with her person since she was 3 weeks old, is friendly and outgoing to strangers, loves children, is housetrained and walked 2x per day, loves a bath (but will sometimes run out thinking it’s time to play), plays gently with all, loves to play fetch and tug, and knows ‘sit’, ‘down’ and ‘stay’. I honestly did not need to read anything about her to testify as to how amazing she is. She showed off her housetraining skills as soon as we were out the door, her tail wags gently as we walk, she shows off her sit and takes treats gently, and she does a little happy bounce off leash when she knows a treat or toy is coming her way. She likes to sleep in her own bed, but it should be near her person as she loves company and to be with her family. Awesome does not begin to describe this amazing dog, and she deserves to spend the rest of her life snuggled, playing and loved by a new family. It’s no surprise that she did well in her behavior assessment, as she’s pretty perfect in my eyes… How do you spell perfection? R-O-X-Y, that’s how!
