*LOCAL ADOPTION ONLY - Within a one hour drive to Pensacola, FL*
ROXANNE is a gorgeous 3-year-old, 7.7 lb Pomeranian who’s all fluff and foxy flair. She’s a busy, happy little lady bursting with what her foster mom calls “nervous energy”. Think tiny personal assistant who must follow you everywhere. Bathroom break? She’ll supervise. Shower? Don't be surprised by the furry nose checking on your progress.
ROXANNE insists on knowing where you are, what’s for dinner, and what you’re watching on TV. With her around, you’ll always have a furry little shadow. She wants to be right with you: prancing beside you, curled up nearby in a dog bed, or lying beside you for a nap. If you are home and she can’t be with you, she’ll vocally remind you that you belong together. But if you leave the house for work or errands, she’s fine. She’ll nap, or join her foster siblings to bark at people passing by, until her favorite human returns. Then she will eagerly greet you with excited barks and fluffy tail wags before resuming her official shadow duties.
ROXANNE gets along perfectly with other small dogs and loves to nap and zoom around the yard with them. She needs a small dog buddy to reassure her when the world seems scary. She shares her foster home with a cat who sometimes gets barked at for his ninja moves, but she’s all talk. No kids for her, she prefers a peaceful, predictable household with adults who get her vibe.
ROXANNE’s got housebreaking nearly mastered. She’ll hold it or use a potty pad. She doesn’t love the leash life though and a secure fenced yard is non-negotiable. She’s quick and clever when it comes to rushing through doors and gates. She once made a mad dash through a front door and had a little adventure, so watchful humans are a must. New things can spook her, and the vet’s office was definitely not her idea of a good time. She should always be safely in a carrier in a car and when going in and out of secured areas.
At bedtime, ROXANNE sleeps in the bedroom on a soft dog mat with her favorite blankets. At sunrise, she’ll pop her paws on the bed to say good morning and request her breakfast, plus a few head scratches for good measure. She wasn't always sure about human affection, but now she's a believer as long as it's in the form of scratches and pets!
If you have a fenced yard, a small dog, and think life would be better with a sweet, slightly dramatic fox-faced shadow who loves you more than peanut butter, ROXANNE is ready to inspect your application!
She has been to the vet for a wellness check, is up to date on shots, spayed, had a dental, and is microchipped with a lifetime registration. ROXANNE is heartworm positive and has started her treatment which will be continued by the rescue until she is heartworm free.
