Story
Roxy is a fun loving, energetic, and extremely playful. She knows to relax when indoors and play outdoors. She is very loyal and protective. We adopted her at approximately 2 years old and have provided a home to her for 3 years. She is as sweet as they come. She has a gentle, loving personality and a calm energy that instantly puts you at ease. She adores belly rubs, snuggling close, and following you around with quiet devotion. Roxy has an easy grace about her, there is something almost refined in the way she carries herself, like she knows she is a little bit special. Raised in our home with children, and other dogs, Roxy is well-socialized and comfortable in every setting. She has shown no food aggression and loves being part of family life. With her gentle nature and warm, snuggly heart, Roxy will be a wonderful companion for anyone who wants a loving, loyal, and graceful best friend.

Story
CHINA- 5-6 Years Old, House Trained, Skin Issues, Good with Older Kids & Dogs.    China was surrendered due to no fault of her own.  China does have some skin issues and fur loss as you can see, which we are checking out here with our vet. She was able to roam free in the home with no issues. She is said to enjoy balls, frisbees, plush squeaky toys, and tug toys, super playful girl!  She has been known to escape her yard a few times, so we recommend a privacy fence or leash walks for this adventurous girl. She is describes as very smart, friendly, loving affection. She has been friendly and playful with older kids and dogs. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 4, 2025, 10:59 am

Please do your research before considering adopting. Each breed has its own personality and characteristics which may or may not fit with your lifestyle.   Kimo has most likely been a member of a family and experienced at living with and hanging out with that family.   Come out to meet Kimo!
