🐾 Meet Roxie—a sweet, loving girl who simply adores people and is looking for a calm, loving home where she can be the star of the show! Roxie has so much love to give, and with a little patience, she blossoms into a loyal, affectionate companion. Roxie thrives with a mature family who will make her feel safe and loved. She’s housebroken, crate trained, and loves going for walks—she’s a gentle girl who enjoys her daily adventures. She’s traveled well in the car and is happy to be your sidekick everywhere you go! While Roxie prefers to be the only pet—she truly enjoys being the queen of her castle—she’s ready to fill her new family’s life with cuddles, loyalty, and so much love.

Story
Sushi is being fostered in CT. Sushi loves to cuddle and would love to have her own person and family; however she would do best as an only dog so she can get all the love to herself. She travels great in the car and will either sit on your lap for a short trip or in the backseat with a doggy car seat. She is housetrained and will go to the door to let you know she has to go potty. She eats like a champ and takes her insulin well. She also does great at the vet and loves her vet clinic friends. She sleeps through the night and is very easy going. Sushi is not interested in toys but loves to chew on vet approved bones. She loves to sleep on the couch with a comfy blanket, and she uses dog steps to get on. She can safely jump down as long as the floor is not slippery. I have a dog stroller for Sushi and she happily will sit in it and go for a ride or sleep in it when I am sitting at the computer. She enjoys going for short walks and gets excited when you put her leash on! She also does a very funny trot out in the backyard. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.
