Description:
Roxas is a 9 month Border Collie/Lab Mix
that found himself in a high kill city shelter in Texas. His previous owner, a
young 24 yr old was posting on Craig's List, begging for someone to save her
dog. Her family had decided he was too much pup to handle, and took him to
the shelter while she was at work. Her repeated postings begging for
someone to save him were heartbreaking where she wrote about how sweet he
is. How he is scared of being alone in the dark, scared of being outside
in a thunderstorm, and how much he loves to sleep with a teddy bear.
Roxas is now safe with
us. We learned
Roxas is named after a
character in a Disney Anime type video game called Kingdom Hearts where he
is fighting to find his heart so he can exist. Fantasy definitely became
real life for this sweet young dog. He even has his own song - a beautiful
piano piece that is sad but so sweet called Roxas' Theme:
Roxas needs someone very special that can
give him love, training, discipline, and exercise. He is lovable and
sweet but still just a big puppy in so many ways. Very athletic and
fun-loving. Can run at the speed of wind, :-) Loves playing in water
and loves his toys and chasing a tennis ball. He is such a deserving
dog but can be rough and will chew on things like most Labs and Border Collies
not yet mature, so he needs someone with patience and love willing to train
him that thinks he is as special as we do. This young Texas girl that
would love to hear from you about him in the future if you choose to
adopt, just like an open adoption, :-) He is housetrained, neutered,
and current on vaccinations When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care. Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters. How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet. Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks. Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance. Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
