My story

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

Roxy girl came in after being seized from her owners in Stanton, TN. This sweet girl and a few of her siblings had been heavily neglected for weeks. Thankfully, someone cared enough about this girl to call the shelter so we could take her in and deal with her previous owners.

There has been a bit of an adjustment period for sweet Roxy. It was difficult to trust anyone due to how badly she was mistreated, but slowly she came around. She's doing great now, and even got to make her debut this past weekend at our Tractor Supply Adoption Event! Volunteers and shelter employees have witnessed this scared little pup's personality change into a confident and even sassy dog. Roxy adores being around people, being doted over and will speak her mind if she believes she isn't getting enough attention from you! She is may still be a little reserved at times, but for the most part she is spunky and ready for whatever. Roxy is dog friendly and enjoys playing with other dogs. She is also pretty great with kids and would make an amazing family pet.

Additional adoption info

Adoptions take place same day. We do not hold/tag animals for adopters. Of you are unsure if you would like to officially adopt the animal, you may ask about our "foster to adopt" program. Through this, you will have 5 days to test out the animal to ensure it fits the home.
