About Soxy
Please read completely before enquiring.
We are seeking a very special home for a very special girl.
Adorable Soxy has been with us for quite some time to receive the care and treatment required to make her as happy and comfortable as possible.
Soxy is a very sweet and caring girl who will ONLY be available to a home with a similar sized, calm, desexed male dog companion. She doesn't play with other dogs but enjoys their company and being able to snuggle with them. She is also good with cats.
Soxy can't do long walks but will enjoy small strolls and outings. She will need a home with no stairs or very few and a new mum/dad who is able to lift her in and out of the car and onto the couch etc.
Soxy has some pretty serious issues with the development of her front legs and while surgery has helped a little she still struggles with mobility so we've been taking her for weekly swimming sessions in Narre Warren. This won't fix her legs but we're hopeful that with regular sessions she will become more mobile and be more comfortable when she walks.
The build up of strength and muscles will also reduce the risk of any other damage being done to other joints and parts of her body from her abnormal gait.
One condition of her adoption is that these swimming sessions will continue.
Soxy will need her claws trimmed regularly due to the shape of her feet. Keeping them short will prevent them from causing discomfort when she walks.
We are happy to pass on all of Soxy's medical notes to her new family so they can be fully aware of her current condition.
The wonderful people at Woof Swim Team in Narre Warren have very generously offered 10 free swimming sessions for Soxy and her new family. We can't thank them enough for the support they have given us 😀
This beautiful girl just wants to be loved and in return she will offer you all of the cuddles and affection she possibly can.
Due to Soxy's condition, she will only be suitable to a home with older children/grandchildren.
Soxy will only be heading off to the perfect home so please tell us everything you can offer this special girl in your enquiry,
Currently in care in Avonsleigh, Victoria.
Medical notes
Soxy has undergone surgery while she has been in our care to attempt to straighten her leg. Whilst this was not completely successful, it has taken some strain off her joints. Soxy will require a good quality joint formula for the rest of her life to help her maintain her mobility and keep her as comfortable as possible.

Adoption details
If you think one of our animals would be a good match for your home please email us and we will be in touch shortly after. We all work fulltime, have families and other commitments so your patience is appreciated.
We do require any other dogs in your home meeting our foster animal before they head home with you. This enables us to assess their compatibility and helps prevent them being returned and creating more confusion/insecurities for the foster animal.
All our animals are available for a two week trial with full refund. They are also covered by a lifetime return policy. If you ever find yourself unable to care for or keep your pet please contact us and they will come back into our care, this is a condition of our Adoptions.
