My story

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

Meet Roxy, a delightful 10-year-old 65-pound Dutch Shepherd eagerly awaiting her forever home. With a heart full of sweetness, this lovable girl's energy and enthusiasm for life are infectious. Roxy's favorite pastimes include running and playing, and she's always up for an adventure with her new family.

A true attention-seeker, Roxy adores being showered with love and affection. Her gentle and kind nature makes her a good companion for children though her size and enthusiasm might be too much for very young children. While Roxy gets along well with select dogs, we recommend a cat-free home due to her size and breed's natural instincts.

Roxy's endearing personality makes her a gentle giant, though she has a tendency to guard meat bones, so it's best to avoid giving them to her. She also does not like being confined to small spaces, so a home with a large yard would be best. If you're looking for a loving, active, and loyal furry friend, Roxy might be the perfect addition to your family. Consider adopting this wonderful canine companion and witness the joy she brings into your life.

Roxy had a malignant mammary tumor when she arrived which was surgically removed, but this type of cancer can recur or appear in other parts of the body, so regular veterinary monitoring is essential.
