Roxie still needs a home

Roxie has an underbite.

So Roxie is still with us. We've been fostering her for two weeks now. Obviously, she's adorbale. There's no denying that. But she doesn't work in our household. She makes Greta very nervous, and Greta is very nervous to start with. That nervousness only makes her more dominant. Roxie and Cassie get along great though, and play really well together. They run around and romp in the yard all the time. But the Greta factor is enough for it to not work. We have to look out for our own dogs first.

Roxie had a vet visit on Saturday and she had a clean bill of health and is now up-to-date on all her shots. She still needs to be spayed though.

The vet says she's a Pekingese mix. The vet tech thinks maybe she has some Jack Russell terrier in her.

Roxie has made great strides in the house-breaking department and works very hard to "sit" when we tell her to. She's also getting the hang of going in her crate on command. She's made a lot of progress in the two weeks we've had her, but she's still scared of new people when they come along, and she doesn't like to be left alone, both results of her previous living conditions.

In her new home and owners, she really needs unconditional love and attention. Maybe she needs to be the only dog, or another small playmate. But a dominant dog already in the house would not be a good mix with her.

If anyone is interested in adopting her, or knows someone who might be, let me know.
