Every dog has a story
Roxy
Roxy is a sweet, friendly golden retriever who lost her home and her family in a matter of days. She walked out of an overcrowded shelter into a foster home, and her foster family fell so madly in love with her that she never left: Roxy is adopted.
Their Journey So Far
Out of the Shelter
September 23, 2026Roxy, Lucy, and their friend Molly had lost their home and their person, and they landed in an overcrowded shelter, confused and waiting. That was when we made a promise: Operation No Dog Left Behind. Today all three walked out of the shelter. Roxy is a sweet, friendly golden retriever, and she is headed to a foster home where she can rest, decompress, and begin figuring out what life looks like now. We'll be here for her every step of the way.
How the Promise Started
September 24, 2026Roxy, Lucy and Molly belonged to Justine's father and stepmother. When her stepmother passed away and her father was hospitalized, the three dogs ended up at an overcrowded shelter. Justine reached out to us for help, and even in the middle of her own grief, she kept showing up for them: tracking down medical records, coordinating with the shelter, and telling us exactly what each dog needed. That's when we made a promise: Operation No Dog Left Behind. We weren't going to get one out, or two — we were going to get all three out alive, together. It took a small army — everyone who shared, applied, offered help, transported, coordinated or simply cared — to make that happen. Today, all three are safe. Roxy and Lucy each have a foster home. Molly is staying with Justine for now, but given everything she's carrying, that can only be temporary, and Molly still needs a foster of her own.
Roxy Is Adopted!
October 4, 2026Roxy was one of three dogs who ended up at the shelter after both of their elderly owners passed away. We put out a plea for help, our incredible supporters stepped up, and Roxy landed in a wonderful foster home where she could begin her comeback. Well, her foster family fell absolutely, madly in love with her. Roxy has a few anxieties and some medical issues, but overall she is doing fantastic, and most importantly, she is completely adored. They decided she's already exactly where she belongs. Congratulations, Roxy and family! We are over the moon for this sweet girl and so happy she gets to call this home.
