Me: "SURE, son, be glad to!"
(3 hours later)
Son: "Dad! Got her! But, um, er..."
Me: "Spit it out..."
Son: "I forgot to ask my wife if it's ok!" (they haven't been married that long, but they do have 5 dogs...)
Me: "And..."
Son: "Could I stash her at your house, just for a few days?"
Me: (I'm a complete marshmallow and have no sales resistance) "Sure, bring her over!"
6 months later, she's "my" rescue....
...and I need to find her a home. I can't keep up with 4 dogs, not working the hours I've got now (60 hours a week--and 55 is too darn old to be working like this-- doesn't leave me much spare time, and the dogs are suffering as a result--I need to spread my remaining time among my three BC's).
So: Meet Roxie!
She's about 9 months old, we think. She was much smaller when she arrived, but at 33 lbs I think this is about it. No idea about the mix (there isn't any BC in there), but she's playful and friendly and FULL of energy! LOTS of energy (which I don't have--my 3 BC's are energetic enough, but they've adapted to my couch potato ways, and each has her own place on the couch...).
Roxie is a nice little dog. She's had all her shots, spayed, etc. I'll deliver her anywhere in the Continental US (I'm always up for a road trip). My restrictions: adopter must either have a fence or be able to contain her, I'd hate to have worked this hard to have her wind up road kill or back in some other high-kill shelter), and adopter needs to understand that she's got LOTS of energy, LOTS.
If you know ANYBODY looking for a sweet little pet, I'd love to have her adopted. I need the time, and if possible I'd like to rescue another BC at some point.
(if anybody has any guesses on the mix, let's have 'em. I'm stumped.)
