Roxy was abandoned in her home. Her family moved out and just left her at the house. A friend of the family's emailed us and we immediately brought her in. Roxy was very timid of everything at first, really unsure about everything and everybody.

We brought her in, had our vet check her out, got her spayed and began getting Roxy used to the life she deserves. A family in North Carolina saw her face and couldn't get it out of their mind. Once their application was approved, they began the process of getting her out there.

Due to the heat, she could not fly out of Las Vegas, so our southern California foster home, Andrea, took her home with her and flew her from there. After a 4.5 hour flight, she was finally home! The following was written by Amber of their experience with adopting sweet Roxy.

The moment we saw her pictures, we knew we had to have her.  We weren't looking for another dog, but we couldn't not add Roxy to our family!  After planning for her trip to us, she was set!  We were anxiously awaiting the arrival of our new girl!  Sadly, that night I received a phone call saying that they wouldn't allow her on the plane because of the Las Vegas heat.  We were devastated.  As luck would have it, a wonderful LVLR foster, Andrea, was in Las Vegas to pick up another pup and was unable to do so, so she volunteered to take our Roxy back to California with her to fly her out from there!  Finally, after her long awaited arrival, Roxy came home on May 18th!  Right away, her brother Luc and she got along wonderfully!  It took them awhile to play with each other, but they are slowly playing more and more each day!  Roxy's favorite thing to do is fetch, and she is a maniac about it!  Anytime of the day she will drop that ball or other toy at your feet until you throw it…even 3am!  The moment she notices you are awake (even if it is to roll over!) she is in your face kissing you and shoving that toy to your face!  If we would let her, she would fetch until it killed her.  She is the sweetest, most loving dog always ready to cover you excitedly in doggy kisses!   She is quickly finding her spot in our family and we love having her here.  We are very fortunate to have been able to add Roxy to our family!
