31/05/2022: Roxy has been adopted! Hooray!

Adorable Roxy is a 10-year-old Lakeland x Patterdale who arrived at Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool, in October 2021 due to a change in her owners’ circumstances. She was adopted but her new home has not worked out and Roxy is seeking another home. She is staying with her current owner while Freshfields match her to a new family and therefore she is not at the rescue.

Roxy is a wonderful girl who is playful and full of character but she doesn’t like other animals and can be reactive to dogs on walks. She needs an owner who will take extra care with her around small animals.

When Roxy first arrived she was struggling with an untreated skin allergy which had caused significant fur loss around her neck, chest and front legs. With treatment she soon improved and her fur started to return. She is having medicated baths once a month and a hypoallergenic diet. This will need to be monitored regularly with your own vet. Roxy has had a mammary lump removed with no further issue. She has started to develop cataracts which may progress as she ages, but her eyesight seems fine at the moment.

Freshfields are looking for a quiet home for Roxy, ideally with an active retired person(s) and where any children are aged 16+. She needs to be the only pet in the home and would be best with an experienced owner who is confident about managing Roxy’s reactive behaviour on walks.

Roxy has been through a lot of upheaval since she first arrived in rescue and Freshfields are desperate to see her settled in a new home. She’s a loving, affectionate girl who deserves to be happily settled for her retirement years.
