A5142171 Roxy is a trusting, loving 9-year-old champagne-and-cream (with some black) spayed female Yorkshire Terrier and Shih Tzu mix whose owners said they had no home and surrendered her to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on January 10th. Weighing 12 lbs, this darling dog is overwhelmed with fear and trepidation in the shelter environment and at the loss of her family, but we feel sure that she’ll blossom once safe. She appears to be house trained, is good on leash, great with other little dogs (she has a kennel mate and wags her tail at other dogs), and very ready to be someone’s beloved pet. She’s not had the best of care—she’s underweight, her beautiful silky coat hasn’t been tended to, but with a good spa day, she’ll be a show-stopper! The shelter vet performed both her spay and a surgery on her bladder, which was causing some issues for her. Because of the bladder issues and surgery, the shelter is requiring a health waiver for Roxy to make sure she gets an evaluation by an outside vet. We think Roxy will be a perfect lap dog and indoor companion for any individual or family who appreciates her trusting and gentle personality and wants to provide her with the care and love she needs to be healthy and confident.

Our Mission:

United Hope for Animals is dedicated to reducing homelessness among companion animals through spay/neuter, shelter support, photography, video and networking of shelter animals in Southern California. It is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization working to end homelessness among companion animals by supporting shelter adoptions and spay/neuter programs. Through our Shelter Support Program, our volunteers photograph and video shelter pets to increase their chances of adoption significantly. Our volunteer Adoption Coordinators help facilitate adoptions of shelter pets. United Hope for Animals supports rescue, spay/neuter and networking of shelter pets to increase their chances of adoption. UHA is not a shelter, but supports shelters to help increase visibility of animals who might not otherwise be seen.
