Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Roxy is a sweet 11 year old miniature pinscher mix. Her owners died recently and she has been passed around to several homes since. She is a shy and nervous girl, especially when adjusting to new surroundings. Her favorite place to be is next to you under a blanket. It takes her time to trust and get to know you so she needs someone patient and willing to work with her. She does not appear to be crate trained, but does need to be contained when unsupervised (with a baby-gated) as she will get into a little mischief (garbage). Roxy has seasonal allergies, and needs limited ingredient dog food. She walks well on a leash. She doesn't play with other dogs, but lives with them just fine. Unknown with cats. Roxy is house-trained with frequent trip outside -she will let you know she needs to go out by staring at you and kicking her back feet! If you would like to give this senior gal a nice comfy home for the rest of her life (which could be quite few years with a small breed), please complete an application at www.henricohumane.org to get started!
We recommend and encourage you to complete an application at http://henricohumane.org/adopt/application-for-dogs/ before coming to our next adoption event. To find out if I will be attending our next adoption event, please email dogs@henricohumane.org.
Adoption events are every Saturday, excluding holidays, at the Petco located at 11331 W. Broad Street, Glen Allen, VA (next to Trader Joe’s) from 11:00am to 2:00pm.
