About Roxy
FOSTER WITH A VIEW TO ADOPT
Placement needed urgently for this beautiful pup Roxy.
Roxy is only around 9 weeks old but has not had the best start in life. This sweet wee girl was rescued from a farm, along with her sisters; all three girls were going to be shot! It's hard to imagine this heartbreaking reality.
Thankfully that has been avoided but Roxy still needs a very special home.
We believe that she has been kept outside and probably in a pen or cage with restricted human handling.
She is fearful of people, other dogs and stimuli in her environment. She will run and hide rather than approaching so needs to be coaxed to you.
Roxy has only just come off the farm so she's dealing with a lot of change and stress. We're confident that she can have a great life ahead of her as a loved family member. But she needs a family who are experienced dog people with lots of patience and love to give.
Roxy is looking for a mature family with kids over 12 years or no kids in the house.
A confident, friendly, social dog in the home may be great to help her.
She will need to attend a group training course with her new family, to help her build confidence and form a strong bond
Being a working breed through and through, she will be an intelligent, switched-on young lady who will thrive in a home where she has opportunities every day to exercise both her body and her mind. Ongoing training and maybe a doggy sport like agility will give her a chance to show what she's capable of and help her with her confidence too.
Roxy is not a perfect, 'easy' puppy but she's a special girl who deserves all the best. If you really want to 'rescue' a puppy in need, she's for you.
We are looking to place her as a foster pup initially so her new family can get to know her before committing to adoption.
Adoption fee will be $520, including first vaccination, microchip and desexing to be done at 6 months
Please get in touch asap and tell us as much as possible about yoursekf and why Roxy will be the right fit.
Adoption details
Thank you for taking the time to view one of our lovely animals. We love them all and we hope you will too.
If you would like to know more about an animal please email us at avonvalley@safe.org.au. If it sounds like you and the furry creature are a suitable match then we will pass on the foster carer’s details to you so you can call and make a time to meet them.
Once you have met the animal and wish to go further then we may organise a yard check to ensure that your yard is safe and secure (dogs only). You can then take your new family member home on a 2 week trial and if you decide they are not suitable then you can return them.
If you are not sure how existing animals in your home might be affected, or you want a little extra time to get to know the nature of the animal, we may allow you to foster with a view to adopt.
