AFRP Happy Tail

Roux's Happy Tail

Roux, a sweet blend of MinPin, Terrier and Chihuahua, was one scared little dog when she arrived at AFRP. The Monterey County Shelter asked us for help because Roux was too terrified to be put up for adoption. All Roux wanted to do was snuggle in somebody's arms and hide from the big, scary world. Would this shy little dog find her forever home?

When Judy met Roux at the AFRP Adoption Center, her heart melted. She knew she could provide the safe and loving environment that would help Roux blossom. Judy recently sent us a happy update about Roux, now named Penny:

Dear Animal Friends,

We wanted to give you an update on Penny, aka Roux. Words cannot describe how well our baby girl is doing. Penny has grown from a skinny, timid whiney soul to the most precious, lovable, hilarious, playful creature in the house! She loves her new siblings and keeps them on their toes! We could not imagine a day without her.

Everyone that meets her tells us they are going to steal her! Scary! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for saving her...the thought of our precious girl being put to sleep is not even fathomable, bringing tears to our eyes just thinking of it. Please share our story with others - shelter adoptions are the only way to go!

With much love to all of you for all you do!

AFRP has rescued over 6,000 dogs and cats in since we were founded in 1998. We primarily rescue animals like Roux that are least likely to survive the shelter environment (read more of these Happy Tails ).
AFRP depends on volunteers and donations from the general public to rescue approximately 1,000 dogs and cats each year. Won't you help us save more animals like Roux?
