23/08/18 – Roxy has been adopted! Hooray!
This joyful girl is Roxy the 9 year old Staffy who’s in the care of Rescue Remedies at their kennels in Guildford, Surrey. She’s good with other dogs and is a gentle soul, except when it comes to cats and small furries. She loves all people and is a happy-go-lucky girl who is pleased to be included in any activity… especially if it involves cuddles!
Roxy has been in respite foster care a few times and her carers couldn’t fault her. They said, “What a fabulous dog. She is so loving and just wants to cuddle, snooze and play with her lamb (toy)…
“Roxy slept all through the night and is easy to have around. She behaved herself while we ate our dinner, just happy to curl up at our feet. We took her for a quick walk along the river and passed a number of off lead dogs and Roxy was completely unfazed by them. She is a lovely, easy dog who loves people and would settle in to a home no problem.”
Roxy walks nicely on the lead. She crosses the road calmly and isn’t bothered by passing traffic. She is a friendly girl and loves having a fuss made of her. She’s a very good girl taking treats too.
Her foster carers later said, “Once again Roxy was the perfect house guest… she may look like an older girl however she still has plenty of energy – on Friday she had a walk in the morning and then walked from the kennels to our flat and still managed to run up the stairs to the third floor. She does love a good snooze though and spent much of the weekend asleep between Jenn and I on the couch.”
“Roxy is the easiest dog to have around as she is just happy to be included. She is responsive to commands and when told to stay off the couch/bed she does so until invited back up. I don’t think she is a fan of early mornings though! We took her out to the garden to do her business early on Saturday morning and instead of wandering around she chose to lean up against Jenn and catch a bit more shuteye.”
