Roxxy (female)

Intake date: 9/6/2026

Maltese/ Pomeranian mix

15 years young

7.14 pounds (at intake)

Adoption fee: $waived - hospice adoption

Good with other dogs: yes

Cats: yes

Vetting: Spayed, thyroid tested (normal), x-ray (no collapsing trachea - somewhere we thought we saw or someone said she had a collapsing trachea, but she does not - maybe it was our imagination) - dental (10 extractions); UTD on shots, heartworm negative, fecal negative, Proheart 6 injection (heartworm prevention - next due 12/6/2026), on monthly flea/tick prevention, microchipped

Health issues: sight and hearing challenged - we think she can see a little bit - may have a tinge of dementia; arthritis is rear left leg (may lift it from time-to-time), otherwise nothing we have found substantially other than age-related aches and pains - slow moving, etc.

Temperament: very sweet, quiet, startles easily because she can't see well.

Energy level: low - medium - paces when nervous

Groom needs: High; she was being groomed at Just for Fido and if you're local it might be good to take her there since that's what she's used to.

Biography: Roxxy is a sweet senior who just needs a final home. She was surrendered by her owner who has advanced scoliosis and can no longer care for Roxxy as she is a fall-risk. We were told that the owner has had her since 2019, having gotten her from a friend. She is used to being home with someone most of the time. She can be timid and submissive while also friendly and sweet. She travels well and walks well on a leash. She does not startle during bad weather or fireworks. She doesn't play with toys and doesn't really care for being in a lap but wants to be by your side. We realize Roxxy is very old but nonetheless deserves a loving home to live out the rest of her life however long that is.

**IMPORTANT NOTES**

*We do adopt out of state provided the adopter is willing and able to travel to us once approved. We do not ship or transport our animals and there is no exception to this rule.

*All of our adoptable dogs are small, and they are never to be left outside alone, ever! We only rehome our dogs to adopters that plan to have them as inside dogs and part of the family! We do allow adopters with doggie doors, provided there is SECURE fencing. There is no exception to this rule!

*NO SMALL CHILDREN!! As with almost all the dogs at NR2R, young children or a very active household is not recommended. Many of our dogs come to us BECAUSE of small children, thus we do not rehome our dogs to homes with babies or young children. KEEP THIS IN MIND IF YOU HAVE VISITING GRANDCHILDREN AS WELL! Even if the children are older, it would depend on the child AND the parent or parents.

*HOUSETRAINING: We do NOT guarantee that any of our adoptable dogs are housetrained. While most should be easily trained, keep in mind that they live in a rescue where they have access to the outdoors all day and are inside at night. Even if they were surrendered to us as housetrained, it doesn't mean they will automatically be housetrained in your home. Housetraining them should be easy in the right home with time, patience, and consistency.

*We do not guarantee the age, health or temperament of any of the dogs we rehome. Many of the dogs we take in come from animal control and rarely do we have histories and even when we do, many times the histories are inaccurate.

*Only adopters with a responsible dog ownership history and excellent vet reference need apply. If you bring this pet into your heart and home, you will receive in return many years of love, companionship, and loyalty. That's our guarantee.

Other notes: This pet is available for adoption through Ninna's Road to Rescue, Benton, La. We are 501c3 non-profit organization. Our mission is to rescue small-breed dogs and a handful of cats and to re-home them into RESPONSIBLE and CARING forever homes. DOG APPLICATION LINK:

Time may be of the essence if you are looking to adopt a specific animal. We do not reserve animals, unless and until we have approved your application, provided the animal is still available at the time we receive your application. The first APPROVED application we receive will be considered. We are NOT a first come, first serve rescue!! We adopt our rescues out to the RIGHT home, not just A home. Only responsible pet owners need apply.

Applying to adopt does NOT commit you to the adoption NOR does it guarantee the adoption.

CONTACT: Our adoptable pets are updated regularly, but if you want to check the availability of a pet... OR still have questions AFTER reading this profile, message us via our Facebook page. Please indicate the name when communicating with us.
