Hi! I'm Roxie. I'm a slim girl of about 45 pounds and I'm a little over one-year-old. I'm a beautiful and sweet and gentle little lady with a heart of gold. I have this knack for making people happy and making people smile. I have this giving and generous energy that just spills over from me onto the people around me. When I share my love with you, I promise you'll feel like you've won the Jackpot PowerBall Millions because my love is actually that special!
I became a loving girl with a heart of gold despite my start in life which didn't come with an iota of specialness afforded to me. That means that even though I was not given any special attention in my first year of life from my human, I persevered, hoping that some day in the not too distant future I'd be chosen as the Apple of Someone's Eye and become the Yin to their Yang, the Peanut Butter to their Jelly. That's actually something important to know about me: my resilience. And also, feeding me a peanut butter and jelly isn't a half bad idea, recommend!
I got rescued and helped and now I'm living at Desert Haven and experiencing love and care from humans for the first time. Woo hoo! I love it! And I finally got a name! My name is Roxie. Oh boy, that feels good to say! My name is Roxie! I'm Roxie, a Great Girl! Because of the patience from some of the volunteers here at Desert Haven I've learned to be leashed, learned to go for walks, learned to be petted, learned to be cuddled, learned to give kisses, learned to ride in the car, learned to come back to get re-leashed when I'm in a play-yard, learned to go through a doorway and walk through a home, and learned that I love hotdogs and will do just about anything for hotdogs!
I'll continue to fully participate in all my lessons on being a family dog who is loved and cherished. I am eager to become proficient and am an excellent student! You're invited to come to meet me and see for yourself what a sweetheart I am! I assure you, it's legendary! Love, Roxie
