About ROXY

Rollicking ROXY (#A1286870) would be very receptive to being adopted/rescued by a forever-family. She was surrendered to the East Valley Animal Shelter, Van Nuys, CA, by the family she lived with for her entire 8 years, because she was destructive and the landlord did not want her on the property. Other information provided by the 'family': *Around strangers, she is fearful and shy for a few minutes; *She lived with children and was relaxed and playful, respectful, and gentle; *She lived with/spent time with two older dogs who she was aggressive with, but didn't play with; *Her favorite activities are hiking and playing with the kids (fetch, chase, wrestling). In response to 'What are your favorite things about this dog and/or what are some unique things that they do,' the family wrote: 'Very obedient, before every meal she likes when we pray.'*** Notes from shelter employees, who have interacted with ROXY, include: 'PLAY GROUP (Thu, Sep 3, 2020 1:35 PM) Romps around the yard with other dogs.
