Hi! My name is Roxie! I am a 2-year-old, spayed female shepherd mix in search of a home and someone to love for life. I become the happiest dog in the world when set free in the fenced yard to run, explore and play. I am friendly, energetic and playful. I love people and taking walks. I enjoy being petted and scratched. I just want a home of my own and to never be abandoned again. Please give me a chance! Adoption fee: $75. Adopt a pair: $115. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, spay/neuter, 60 days of free pet insurance and microchip.
I live at the Oakland County Animal Control and Pet Adoption Center at 1700 Brown Rd in Auburn Hills. You can visit me there any time the shelter is open. The shelter will not put me up for adoption because of my appearance, so my only way out of the shelter alive is through a rescue.
To adopt, if you have a fenced yard, call Shannon with MPEP at 586-530-7511.
To adopt, if you do not have a fenced yard, send an email to Rejoyceful Rescue at arejoycefulrescue@yahoo.com or apply online at

NOTE ABOUT BREED LABELING: Visual breed identification of dogs is unreliable and usually inaccurate. So, for most of our adoptable dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog
as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
Why is labeling a dog such a big deal? A label will stick with a dog for the rest of its life. A label can mean discrimination, losing its home or even death. Labels are a problem for the dogs when we, as the local experts on animals, allow adopters, politicians and community members to think that the label we assign can predict who that dog is or will be.
