Roxy Roxanne's new home!

Roxanne went to her new home yesterday and it's a perfect fit! Her new mom, Diana, wrote the note below:

"Roxanne is doing awesome. She is sound asleep right now. She likes to be where I am. So if I am working at my desk, she likes to sit on the sofa beside me :) She's an angel... heaven sent :) Thank you so much for being so honest and wanting the best for Roxanne and all the other puppies you take care off. I really feel like this is a good home for her and that makes me feel happy and even good about me. You know? She even loves her new bed and loves to snuggle in it. I didn't even have to introduce her to it. I just happened to go into my room and there she was all snuggled in her bed :) She's such a cutie. Oh, and she did eat and she drank a lot of water. We went out for a nice walk after we got home and then later in the evening. She went poopy just fine which is good. I know sometimes transitions can makes them nervous and that can affect their tummies. At least, that has happened to our dog at my parents house."

Roxanne has a long history with Dead Dog Beach. She appeared there sometime in the spring of 2007 and soon after, gave birth to a litter of puppies. She was very shy and wouldn't let anyone near her so when we all went for a spay and neuter event in July, we had to drug the poor girl with a sedative in her hot dog just to catch her. She was spayed and, since she was too fearful and even snippy for adoption, we had to return her to the beach. But perhaps somewhere in that little doggie brain she recognized that there are some people who would be kind to her because slowly - very slowly - but surely, she began to trust again. Finally in February 2008 she would get close enough to Sandra and Jessica that they could catch her and get her started on her journey to a new life. She stayed in foster care with Jessica and made a nice little nest there - and Jessi and her mom were really sad to finally see her go but they knew it was the right thing for her. She arrived in Florida about 10 days ago and was timid at first but in no time was doing her cute little circus-dog spins for me when I came home after work. And now she's found just the right home to snuggle up in and is starting the life of love she's always deserved. Thank you Diana for being Roxanne's hero!
