Meet Roxy, a young, energetic dog with a heart full of love. Her playful and friendly nature makes her a great companion for an active, fun-loving family. She weighs 44 pounds and likes agility, car rides, running, tugging, toys, walks, water, chase, and wrestling. In spite of being a social butterfly, she is independent and doesn`t mind being alone. Roxy is not only gentle and cuddly but also incredibly smart and sweet, always ready to learn new tricks and explore her surroundings with curiosity. She already knows the sit, stay, come, no, down, and shake commands. Despite her stubborn streak, she`s almost house-trained and knows how to keep her excitement in check except when her enthusiasm gets the best of her on a leash. She is a work in progress! Roxy`s affectionate and protective instincts make her an excellent lap dog who`ll always be there to offer comfort and security. She was given up because her owner`s couldn`t afford to care for her. While Roxy can be a bit jumpy and needs guidance around food, other dogs, and children, her sweet nature and tolerance shine through. She does love to play with everyone but alternates between being gentle and rough. Because of her exuberant play style and possessive around her food, she’ll need to live with kids at least 15 years old. She`s the perfect candidate for someone who can provide patience, training, and lots of love. Adopt Roxy today and experience the joy of unconditional love and loyal companionship! (tw 12/25/2025)
