My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Roxy is an energetic happy dog that was born in 2009 and she arrived at Animal Lifeline when her owner passed away and there was no place for Roxy to go. Roxy loves to go on walks and play in the yard. She is currently on a diet as she is a few pounds overweight. Roxy is house trained and kennel trained and is looking for an experienced dog owner to work with her. She has been around other dogs, but would probably do best in a household without dogs, cats or children due to her resource guarding. We encourage anyone looking to adopt Roxy to research resource guarding and what it takes to manage this type of behavior. Roxy will require a house with a fenced in yard--she hasn't done well in smaller apartment like environments--she needs a place to burn off her energy.
