Happy 'Gotcha Day' Roxie!!

2 years ago we bought home this terrified, skinny and filthy little thing. The first thing she did was throw up before bolting into our room and hiding under the duvet where she stayed for 3 hours with me just talking to her. Cannot belive that this is that same dog that used to fall to the floor when you approached her and wee in fear, she used to take food from your hand but wait and close her eyes for a second expecting a beating.



The first day we got her home she cuddled her teddy for ages



This year she is being assesed to be a Pets As Therapy dog and we are hopefully starting agility. She helps with a lot of fundraising for the local staffy rescue, as well as help to change peoples perceptions of the breed. We got so lucky with her, we couldnt ask for a dog with a nicer temperment. Shes patient with the puppies but will happily wrestle with the boys

I honestly dont know what I would do without her

Happy gotcha day my gorgeous girl

She's so beautiful, Sam, and what a fantastic job you've done with her.

I'm sure she repays your love with bucket-loads in return - such a gorgeous girl and so deserving of the wonderful, calm, kind and loving home she now has

Evil people.

What an amazing job you've done with Roxie. She is a fantastic dog and I wish you both all the success for your PAT assessment and agility training.

Happy Gotcha Day, Roxie! xx

She's gorgeous, gorgeous, gaaaaawjuss, and to think what she was like when you first found her, must have broken your heart to see her like that, but now look at her and how she's progressed being in your tlc! Happy Gotcha Day Roxie, thank goodness you found such a wonderful home with Sam

Thankyou everyone, I couldnt be more proud of her. She takes everything I throw at her in her stride. She even went of her first train journey yesterday and was really chilled about it!
