Roxi's Story

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST BEFORE APPLYING!<br/> <br/>We are trying again to find the right forever home for our very special girl, Roxi.<br/> <br/>Roxi is a very anxious and nervous girl, and it takes her quite a while to feel comfortable and trust people. She has been with her amazing foster mom since April 22, and she is still working on building that trust. Roxi is a door dasher and a serious flight risk, so her safety has to be our TOP priority.<br/> <br/>Because of this, we are going to be VERY particular about where Roxi goes. And honestly, we make no apologies for that.<br/> <br/> DO NOT APPLY UNLESS YOU CAN CHECK EVERY SINGLE BOX BELOW: <br/><br/>A physically fenced-in backyard...the fence must be at least 6 feet tall and NOT chain link.<br/>A quiet home with minimal visitors.<br/>NO CHILDREN. Roxi loves kids, but this is about safety. Children may not fully understand the importance of keeping doors securely closed around a flight-risk dog. One open door could have devastating consequences for Roxi.<br/>A confident resident dog in the home.<br/>An understanding of flight-risk dogs...her adopter must understand the precautions, management and commitment required to keep a dog like Roxi safe.<br/> <br/> WHAT WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE ROXI GOES HOME:<br/> <br/>A 2-3 hour meet and greet with EVERY member of the household at her foster mom’s home. This will give you the opportunity to meet Roxi, learn about her personality and quirks, and understand everything that will be required to make her adoption successful.<br/>At least one week must pass after the meet and greet before moving forward. We want everyone to have time to think carefully and make a wise, informed decision.<br/>A trial adoption period will be required. This gives the family an opportunity to see if Roxi truly fits into their home and lifestyle.<br/> Signed documentation agreeing to follow the safety and care guidelines discussed with Roxi’s foster mom, including a TWO-WEEK SHUTDOWN period.<br/>This means that for the first two weeks in her new home, Roxi will NOT leave the home except for an emergency. This will give Roxi time to adjust to her new home and family. <br/> No visiting friends or family<br/> No visitors to the home<br/> No grooming appointments<br/> No walks outside of the securely fenced-in yard<br/> No unnecessary trips or outings<br/><br/>We know this may sound picky.<br/>And we are completely okay with that.<br/> <br/>Roxi is a very special girl, and she deserves a very special home.<br/> <br/>Her person needs to understand that trust will not happen overnight. It may not happen in a month. It may not even happen in a few months.<br/> <br/>Roxi needs patience. Consistency. Time. Understanding. And someone willing to let her come out of her shell at HER pace.<br/> <br/>We aren't looking for just any home for Roxi.<br/>We are looking for THE RIGHT HOME.<br/>The home that will keep her safe.<br/>The home that won't give up when things take time.<br/>The home that will celebrate every little bit of progress.<br/>The home that will love her exactly as she is.<br/> <br/>If you think you could be that home, our adoption application is pinned to the top of our Facebook page.<br/> <br/> PLEASE DO NOT APPLY UNLESS YOU MEET EVERY SINGLE ONE OF ROXI'S REQUIREMENTS. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS. <br/> <br/>Thank you for helping us find the perfect forever family for this amazing mama. She spent so much of her life taking care of her babies...Now it’s her turn to be somebody’s baby.
