Roxas is a young German Shepherd mix with a heart full of love and a personality that will keep you smiling every day. Rescued from a high kill shelter in Texas, Roxas has quickly shown everyone what a special boy he is — sweet, goofy, affectionate, and always ready to be part of the fun with his family but on guard and protective with strangers. Like many young shepherds, Roxas still has plenty of puppy energy and enthusiasm for life. He is looking for a family that can continue to guide him with structure, training, and ongoing socialization so he can grow into a confident, well-rounded adult dog. Roxas is smart, eager to learn, and would thrive with people who are committed to helping him succeed. This handsome boy would do best as an only dog, where he can enjoy all the love and attention for himself. He would love an active home that can provide enrichment, adventures, training sessions, and even daycare to help keep his mind and body busy. Roxas forms strong bonds with his people and truly wants to be part of the family. Because of his breed and age, German Shepherd experience is required for adoption. A fully fenced yard is also mandatory for our German Shepherds to ensure they have a safe space to exercise, play, and continue building confidence. With patience, consistency, and continued socialization, Roxas has all the potential to become an incredible lifelong companion. If you are looking for a loyal, fun, and affectionate shepherd to grow and bond with, Roxas may be your perfect match. Roxas is 20 months old, weighs 56 pounds, and growing. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date with all vaccines including heart worm and flea protection. Roxas is being fostered in Texas, and can travel to any state, and even Canada to the right home. Cost of travel can vary between $250 - $400 depending on his destination. To meet this sweet pup via facetime or whatsapp or other video chat apps, please send a completed application form via www.savesomesouls.com Roxas' adoption fee of $600 includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter surgery and recovery, heartworm and flea prevention), a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, and Harness. Our dogs are fully assessed by foster parents, vets and behaviorists, as well as videos and video chats are available to observe their manners in public. We are extremely transparent and like to share everything negative and positive with the adopters, to ensure it's a good fit and they are not returned to us, as the trips are very stressful on them. Houston is home to million strays, many who are abandoned, many born on the streets, many who escaped while living in the yard, which is common in Texas. Since our rescue does not get grants that shelters get, we use adoption fee to help the pups and kitties in our care. Your adoption fee goes towards vetting and feeding our long term and permanent fosters, and unadoptable pups, as well as towards the monthly care and preventatives etc of our pets. By adopting one pup from our rescue, you make room for another dog to be rescued our high kill shelter, thus becoming an integral part of our mission to save as many unfortunate dogs off the streets and shelters as possible. So Thank you for choosing to rescue, and not go to a breeder.
