Greyhound - Roxi Elise - Large - Young - Female - Dog
I Wasn't Good Enough.
Roxy Elise was born about June 21, 2009 and weighs about 65 lbs. She was purchased as a puppy for breeding, but it seems they thought she may not have the best hips and we are told 'We feel she deserves a better home, trying to be fair to all our animals'. So, we had her hips x rayed and they are just fine, nice and tight, and there are no abnormalities in her knees. It may have cost us a few hundred dollars because they thought something was wrong, but it's worth it because she ended up here instead of being a breeding machine. She is good with other dogs, she's house trained, loves car rides and we are told she is fine with older kids, but the little ones may not be the best idea. As with most Greyhounds she must be leashed or in a fenced yard as they are sight hounds and if they see something to chase, including cats, they will.
The Adoption Fee for this dog is $300.00.
Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability. In general our fees include spay/neuter, all age appropriate vaccines, Home Again micro-chipping & registration, worming & flea control - a 'complete' pet.
Joyful Rescues has no funding except for our adoption fees and miscellaneous donations. Pet care and vet bills are expensive - you must be ready to take on this financial (as well as emotional) responsibility.
YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 25 YEARS OF AGE TO ADOPT A DOG FROM JOYFUL RESCUES
We keep our pet list as up-to-date as possible. As soon as a pet is adopted, it is removed from the list. If a pet is still showing, it is still available for adoption.
Each Joyful Rescues pet has been thrown away at least once. Pets are not disposable just because your life has changed. Before you decide to bring a pet into your home, make absolutely sure that it will be a lifetime commitment. When our pets leave us we want them to go to their forever homes. By adopting a pet you are not only helping the pet you adopt, but also others in or needing to come into rescue.
Because these pets are in our homes, for our personal safety before visiting, you must fill out the application on-line at www.joyfulrescues.org (you MUST provide references including a vet reference along with phone numbers) or for further questions you can e-mail [email removed]
