About Roxy Ann | |
|
|
ROXY ANN is a 22 lb, 8.5 yr old Shih Tzu looking for that special person that will treat her with the kindness she deserves. She's already spayed, heartworm negative, completely house trained, and will walk on a leash. She’s had a hard time with allergic dermatitis that caused her to have skin inflammation and anxiety to the point she lost patches of hair and it was painful to touch or brush her. She is responding well to treatment (meds, medicated shampoo, and a special diet) and her beautiful tan/gray/white hair has grown back. She still doesn’t like being brushed and will nip if you try to mess with her face. She likes being bathed and blow dried as long as her face and feet are not handled.
It takes Roxy some time for her to trust people and she will give a warning growl to give her some space. She will do best in a low stress home with no children. She’s fine with other dogs in the house but has not been around cats. Roxy is available at www.tireddogrescue.com. Her fee is $75. Visit website to complete application.
Special Needs: Roxy Ann is currently on an elimination diet to determine her food allergies. Starting Monday 4/15/19, she is on week 6 of 12 eliminating beef, chicken, and turkey. She should stay on flea preventative for a flea allergy and heartworm preventative. Current daily meds include Apoquel, Hydroxyzine, Trazodone and a Cytopoint injection every 6 weeks. Bathe with Malacetic shampoo every 2 weeks. The cost of Roxy's allergy/anxiety meds are estimated to be between $66-$136/month. While her food costs more at this time ($77 for a 6 week supply), after 6 weeks she may be able to change to a lower cost food that does not contain beef, chicken, or turkey. She should also stay on heartworm and flea prevention (Trifexis estimate is $25/month).
We at Tired Dog Rescue strive to find homes for dogs in need, build quality relationships with responsible owners, and preserve current dog-family homes by seeking solutions to financial, behavioral, and situational dog problems. We believe the lives of homeless, abandoned and abused dogs are just as precious as dogs that currently have a loving home. We believe that all dogs deserve a loving home despite their age, medical condition and/or disabilities. We provide whatever medical care is needed regardless of cost. All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and current on vaccinations before being placed.
