There is nothing on earth Roxy would rather do than be with her people—cuddling, getting some ear scratches, and soaking up every ounce of love she’s offered. Life wasn’t kind to Roxy before she was rescued, but this beautiful shepherd mix is determined to leave the past behind and find the loving home she’s always deserved.
Roxy is about five years old and weighs around 60 pounds, with the softest, most gorgeous fur you’ve ever touched. She’s not a fussy girl—she’s happiest when she can splash in a baby pool on a hot summer day or flop beside you on the couch afterward for a long nap. She’ll lean into you for pets, melting your heart with her sweet, silly personality and world-class cuddles.
This lovely lady would love a fenced yard to run and play fetch in—just don’t expect her to always drop the ball when she brings it back! She’s an excellent co-pilot, too, adoring car rides and any adventure that includes her favorite people.
Roxy can be nervous around other dogs, but may be able to make a special doggo friend with time and patience. The Pet Connection is happy to help with careful introductions and transitional training support to set everyone up for success.
Roxy is ready to trade her tough past for a lifetime of love. Come meet her and see just how special she is!
Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 for more info on this sweet pup. Roxy's in the Kansas City metro, but her friends can transport her to her new home if you live outside the area.

Since 1999, The Pet Connection has found homes for more than 7,000 animals and rehabilitated hundreds of dogs and cats with aggression, fear and anxiety issues. We have spayed or neutered over 8,000 dogs and cats in our own free and low-cost clinics since 2002 and assisted another 5,800 pets with low-cost services since 2006. The Pet Connection was founded in 1999 in Mission, Kansas, to offer shelter for homeless pets, adoptions and training. We were one of the first no-kill advocacy groups in the Kansas City metro area and the first cage-free facility in Johnson County to offer education about available spay and neuter programs. In 2006, The Pet Connection relocated to a facility in Mission that enabled all dogs and cats to have their own rooms while awaiting adoptive homes or being rehabilitated due to behaviors that hindered adoption prospects. The Pet Connection currently focuses on pet adoptions, dog and cat training, aggressive dog rehabilitation, and classes for pet owners. We were the first in this area to offer free training/behavior classes to adopters.
The Pet Connection trainers and behavior members use a team approach in order to implement the ideas that have the highest success rate. Our five behavioral trainers working out of the Kansas City metro have a variety of backgrounds applicable to dog training and behavior. The Pet Connection implements positive reinforcement training methods, where the dog learns to face the trigger, but to respond appropriately. Read about our experienced trainers under “Meet the Team" on our website at www.thepetconnection.net.
The Pet Connection has always been committed to being no-kill advocates. We have been involved in many projects with local and national organizations to help Kansas City progress in how homeless pets are cared for and to improve the services that they receive. Our organization is a 501c3 charity in the state of Kansas, and has always provided thousands of dollars worth of supplies, including cat litter, food, toys, beds and dog houses, to other rescues and shelters.
