Roxie Rat Terrier Senior Female

Location:

Pompano Beach, FL

Description:

My name is Roxie and I am an 8 year old Rat Terrier who ended up in the Miami-Dade Animal Services shelter unable to walk and no one knows why. The shelter was going to end my life and a rescue tried and tried to save me but the shelter gave me to this person who had a lot of money and they adopted me. They adopted me because they thought I would be a good motivator for their son, but the problem is that at the time, I couldn't walk and I had a really bad doggie cold and I felt really bad. And even though I think they had a bunch of money trees because they had a lot of money, they didn't want to take me to the doctor to help me feel better and to help figure out why I was having so much trouble walking. The people finally decided they didn't want me anymore and thankfully the rescue that wanted to save me when I was in the shelter heard that they didn't want me and told them they would take me and get me the help I needed. Since they surrendered me to the rescue, I underwent testing that revealed that I had a muscular issue which is all better after several weeks of laser therapy. My doggie cold is also better as well too. I am fully vaccinated, microchipped, and on all preventatives. The shelter adopted me out without spaying me, and the rescue wanted to make sure that I was medically clear first before spaying me, so I will be spayed before being adopted out. I am a nervous girl but I do love affection once I know that you're not going to hurt me. So please give me a chance. I don't remember what my life was like before I ended up in the shelter, and that's probably a good thing. I hope you will help me to make new ones that are happy ones where you are my mommy or daddy and you love me.If you have any questions or would like to adopt Roxie, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
