Description:

Hello,

OK im going to be completely honest here, this is the hardest thing Ive ever had to do. If you knew me, youd know that I absolutely adore all my animals, I am a pet lover through and through. I want to make it also perfectly clear that im not in any major rush to sell my beautiful doggy but Ill explain to you my reasons why.

I have two young children, one is already at big school and the other due to start very soon. I will be returning to full time work from then on which will leave Roxy on her own for long periods of time and she just isnt used to this. Its not that she would misbehave because shes a fantastic dog but I just dont find it fair on her.

Ive owned Roxy since she was 9 weeks old, She was born on the 30th May 2012 which makes her 3 in this May coming. She is microchipped, had her vaccinations but unneutured. She came from a working mother and a working father. She fit straight in at my house with the environment and with my two children (now 5 & 3 but when roxy arrived a lot lot younger) and of course my husband aswell. She was a brilliant pup from the off, never soiled in the house, we did have a cat flap though at the time so she just took herself outside and in time as she got bigger we replaced that with a dog flap.

I will say though, she was never keen on my cat, never hurt it, and sometimes they would even sleep next to each other on the sofas of an evening but he bugged her, i could tell..if she was in the garden and he was nearby but out of reach she would whine and get herself into a frenzy..i never worried to much but this behaviour continued when we then bought another kitten for our daughter (the husband didnt want it, our daughter managed to win him round lol) and again roxy showed the same traits again. They seem to drive her mad so sometimes we end up having to close the door on her whilst shes in the kitchen (plenty of space and where her bed is and where she spends each night) and they are in the sitting room, but this hurts me, I cant help but feel a pang of guilt whenever she gets isolated from the rest of us.

Shes such a beautiful friendly dog but I cant help but get this nagging feeling in my mind that she deserves better than what shes got with us. Dont get me wrong, we spend time with her, cuddle her, brush her, do all the necessary things but I still cant help but feel like she should get more.

Being a busy working parent, I dont often have the time to walk her either, as shes a collie I definitely feel that she should be getting more of this kind of attention and it hurts me that I just dont have the time to give it. I know I could take my kids with me but my 3yr old son is a nightmare for running off and i just havent got enough arms (or eyes for that matter) to be responsible for two young children and roxy aswell.

I believe Roxy would be well suited to a farm environment or even just to a couple or a family with grown up children looking for an already house trained loving dog to spoil..I dont think she should go to anyone with cats, honestly she wont harm them and I can show you that with my two cats but they just arent her preferred and I would rather her not feel bugged for the rest of her life by cats lol! I wont just let her go to anyone and I would definitely like to be updated on how shes getting on and pics of adventures that she might go on in the future, shes never even had a chance to go to a beach! or in water! and this hurts me, because believe me, I do love animals and I do look after her but just not with the 100% undivided attention that she craves. She LOVES cuddles, She LOVES attention, she LOVES snoozing away on the sofa.

If you feel like you could offer her a 5* home, please get into contact. I must stress that I want only the very very best for her, If i had any doubts at any point I would pull out and keep her here with me. And if her future owners circumstances suddenly changed I would absolutely want to know, I would NEVER EVER want her to end up in a rescue home (I know most are fantastic and do brilliant jobs but theres always a risk) I dont want much for Roxy, and to be honest the money isnt actually important.. I just want my beautiful girl to be spoiled the way I wish I could spoil her, if only my kids were older I would find it easier.

So Sorry ive rambled on, anyway, if you wish to chat more, please email me/text me. whatever you wish..

Many Thanks,

PS - please please only contact me if you are absolutely genuine and serious about giving roxy the best forever home, to give her up isnt something Ive considered lightly..she is a big part of my family and my children have grown with her, my son for the most part of his life...thank you
