About ROXY

Roxy is an absolute sweetheart, overflowing with love and an undeniable zest for life. She lived happily in a bustling family of children, other dogs and cats but because her parent was useless at multi-pet management and didn't teach her 3 dogs calming commands like 'down' and 'place,' she failed Roxy miserably. Now Roxy is on the list to die and she is one of the great dogs on earth! She is the kind of dog who thrives on companionship, whether it's snuggling beside her humans, greeting new friends with wiggles of excitement, or basking in the warmth of affectionate pets. Roxy has a special way of making people feel adored-leaning into legs for comfort, resting her head gently in laps, and nudging hands when she's eager for more attention. She's playful and vibrant, bringing energy into any room she enters, but also cherishes quiet moments curled up near her favorite people. Despite her high energy, Roxy's soul is undeniably gentle, filled with trust, warmth, and a devotion to those who give her love in return. She's wonderfully social, having spent time living with kids, dogs, and even a cat, proving her adaptability and big heart. Beyond her affectionate nature, Roxy is truly special. She loves water and bath time and has an undeniable enthusiasm for car rides-she's always ready for an adventure! Her zoomies in the yard show off her playful spirit, and she takes treats ever so gently, demonstrating her polite nature. She is a dog who craves interaction, not just because she enjoys attention, but because she genuinely wants to form bonds. Though she's strong-willed in certain ways, like her discomfort with nail trims, she is a loving, eager-to-please companion who just needs a family that appreciates her lively energy and affectionate personality. Roxy is ready to bring joy into a new home, one that will cherish her snuggles, respect her quirks, and embrace the deep love she so freely gives. ROXY, ID# 226855, @3 Yrs.
