Roxy's Story

ROXY gets all the praise from her new foster. They say besides her beautiful looks, she's got a winning personality and loves others dogs, and to play as well as a good snuggle. She's a bigger girl at around 60 lbs and estimated young at a year old and she's fully vetted. (dob ~10/15/24) Roxy loves Kongs and will keep herself occupied with one for a long long time. Enjoys playing tugawar with her foster brother and looooves playing keep away with him too! They have the most fun playing when they get to run outside. Sticks are a favorite choice, too. Her foster reports she doesn't use a crate with her because she's never had a single issue with her when she's left alone, but she's fully housebroken and the only destruction she brings is with stuffies. But she really enjoys doing it! She's a gentle sweet "giant" (it's all relative) who is the bestest girl!<br/><br/>Adoption fee INCLUDES: all vetting to age (including deworming, flea & tick etc), spay/neuter and microchip (if the dog is under 6 months, alter and chip will occur after they're 6 months, covered in full at our clinic or reimbursed partially at a vet of your choosing). If the dog is older than 6 months and not yet altered, we will schedule ASAP (normally within 30 days) at our clinic . We also provide as an incentive a $60 rebate for completion of positive-based training classes. Adoption also includes lifetime support of the rescue.<br/><br/>Please fill out an APPLICATION here for consideration: www.secondhanddogerscue.com/apply (copy and paste link into browser window if link is not active in your browser).<br/><br/>We do most application processing virtually and dog meets will be individually by appointment with ONLY APPROVED APPLICANTS. We are not a shelter and are completely volunteer foster-based, so there is no central place to come see all of the dogs available.<br/><br/>IMPORTANT NOTES: ** Housetraining with rescues is sometimes a work in progress and even if a dog is 100% in a foster's home, it should be expected there will be an adjustment period as a dog adapts to a new environment. This is even more true if the dog has not by chance had their altering appointment at time of adoption. ** Also, we highly recommend some form of 2-week shutdown and decompression for dogs going to a new home for best results. --> Lastly, breed guesses in rescue are just that (GUESSES!!) 99.9% of the time. We do not do DNA testing and our breed guesses are based on appearance and sometimes other traits, but we know the dog breed guessing game is a fool's errand even for those with LOTS of experience.<br/><br/>PLEASE NOTE: If a dog is listed as Adoptable, he or she is still available at that time. Also, our adoption area is within a several hour radius of us in Rochester, NY (Canada within 3 hours IS allowed, except that young puppies need to be old enough to have gotten their rabies vaccination to cross the border - usually around 16 weeks)
