My story

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

We purchased Roxy from a breeder in Iowa five years ago. She is a Malshi. She just turned five on May 26, 2023. We love Roxy so much and are having to make the heartbreaking decision to give her up. My toddler seems to be allergic to her. Also, we have another baby on the way and I am afraid I can't give her the amount of attention she needs.
She should go to a family that can really take the time to give her lots of love and attention. She has a small bladder and needs to be taken out to go the bathroom often and taken on walks.
She is the sweetest dog I have ever met. She is never aggressive and always playful. She never barks. She gets along great with other dogs, cats, and children. I want her to go to a good home that will make her feel loved!
