My story

Zen was rescued with 15 other dogs from a California shelter all set to be euthanized the day we rescued them. Up-to-date on shots: Rabies, licensed, DHPP-BORD, Dewormed, Microchipped. Spay is scheduled. Zen is blind, but that does not stop her from being a normal dog! She is all of the rescue workers and transports favorite, seriously! She has a gentle soul and personality to match, who just wants to hang out and get love. She would make an excellent family dog that will hang out with you and grow up learning your routine. She loves everyone she meets! She warmed up to us the first day, so she doesn't take long to understand what is going on. Since she is special needs due to being blind, we are looking for an adopter who has experience with blind dogs or who is committed to giving her the training needed with patience. She would be fine in a multi-dog household, as long as proper introductions are given, which will be done during the adoption process. We recommend all of our dogs be trained, by the adopter and/or professionally, especially as puppies. Training makes everyone's life easier and more enjoyable, giving you a companion that is well behaved, safe, and mentally enriched. All adopters will receive a 50% discount at The Good Dog Yorktown for a 6-week training session. Our favorite trainer for online advice is Tom Davis, his youtube is here: https://www.youtube.com/@tomdavisofficial Backstory: We saw a post on Facebook from Angels for Animals spreading awareness that these 16 dogs were in an urgent situation, scheduled for euthanasia. They were dumped from a breeder at OC Animal Shelter with two testing positive for parvo. Since they all came in together, they were considered parvo exposed, meaning they did not have it, were not showing any signs of it, just merely exposed. We couldn't let them all die for a treatable disease, so with the help of Animal Assistance League of Orange County, The Fix Project, 4 Paws Transport Inc., SoCal Happy Tails Transport, and a great volunteer communicator, we were able to get them out, and transport them here to Rox & Ro Animal Rescue in Virginia where we will find their forever homes! To fill out an adoption application please visit our website: https://roxnrorescue.my.canva.site/rox-ro-animal-rescue#adopt-or-foster We hope to help you find your fur-ever family member!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Zen, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
