Story
Roxy is a stray dog who found us in Tobago when we were on holiday. We had no intentions of adding another dog to our family but seeing this emaciated and sick dog, abandoned at Argyle Water Falls broke our hearts.
She struggled over to us as we were leaving the beauty spot in Roxborough (hence the name) after our visit. We bought her food from the kiosk and left. For two days we couldn't get this sad little creature out of our minds, so two days later we drove over an hour back to the falls to try and find her. As soon as we parked the car she crawled from under a parked van as if she had been waiting for us. We swiftly picked her up and put her into the car. We took her to the TTSPCA animal shelter in Tobago who kindly agreed to take her in. We said we would cover all kennel costs and any veterinary treatment she would need.
The vet found her to be suffering from malnutrition, worms, fleas, ticks and neglect but otherwise not a lost cause. It is hard to determine her actual age but she is about a year old.
We have now decided to bring Roxy home to the UK to live with us at Whoofer Farm. So many kind friends have already asked if they can help with fundraising or contribute to the cost. Therefore, we have set up this page to enable anyone who wants to help Roxy and us, raise the funds.
Roxy will be spayed and have her rabies and other vaccinations which will enable her to have a passport and travel to the UK in approximately four weeks.
Anyone who knows us, are aware that we are massive animal lovers and have raised funds for many animal charities over the years. It's now our turn to ask for help and support. Every little helps.
Roxy will be loved and cherished for life. She will also be joining our other two dogs, cats, horses, ducks and chickens.
We will also be planning a Caribbean evening to fundraise at The Bay Tree, Retford which will kindly be hosted by Graham & Manu who helped rescue Roxy and to help support the TTSPCA.
