Meet One Eyed Roxie

This is miss Roxie. She had less than an hour left in BARK when we decided to take her in. She is about a year old, is UTD in all her shots, fixed, and microchipped. When we got her she stunk to high heaven and was infested with fleas. We gave her a bath, some toys, and food.

For the first two days we played musical dog because we did not know if she had been around any other dogs. She did growl and go a little crazy when she had food in her crate but other than that she is now fine with the others. She is still food aggressive but that will fade with time.

Roxie does not let he one eye slow her down, although she does run into things ALOT. I have asked what happen to her eye and no one seems to know. Monday evening when we brought her home we put her in the bath and she looked so scared. I took extra care not to bother her eye. I could not help but stare at her and feel bad. I can not even imagine what happen to her eye. What she went threw. People can be mean and it may just have been a mean person that left her this way. Yet she is so forgiving and still loves to be around people and other dogs.

I will be working with her on some simple commands but she is very hyper so it may take a while. I will update whenever possible.
