Roxy

A PERSONAL LETTER MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE

Roxy and Bailey are the best of friends. They have lived together in a happy family situation their whole lives and they are totally inseparable so a home together is a must.

Due to a change in family circumstances, the two girls were going to have to go to the Pound had IRR not taken them. There was, of course, no question about taking the two of them especially when Bailey wrote us a personal letter herself.

“Hello. My name is Bailey and I am a thorough bred Golden Retriever. I am 5 years old and I have a little sister, Roxy, who is a Jack Russell. She is 6 yrs old. We love tummy rubs and relaxing in the evening in our beds.

We are both house trained and we love children. When we hear children outside playing we go out and play with them.

We love walks on the lead and off. We never run away and always come back when called.

When its dinner time we get so excited we can’t wait so we will both talk to you in doggy language to hurry it up. We also love being talked to and may answer back sometimes.

We love being together as we grew up together and mind each other. We are also friendly with other dogs and spend some time with friends when we have a sleepover in their house.

We don’t like it when we hear children crying as this upsets us too and we must investigate whether everything is ok, even if that means sitting at the end of the stairs as we are not allowed up there.

We have a teddy each that we love and snuggle at night but we will promise to love you too xx”

ROXY’S FOSTER ASSESSMENT
