About Roxy
Roxy lived through things no dog should ever face. Born in Idaho, her first years were spent not as a family companion, but as a chained and neglected breeder. She was bought for children who quickly lost interest, left mostly alone outdoors through harsh Idaho weather, and had to fend for herself when food was scarceāsometimes chasing mice to stay alive. Her body tells the story: scars from a chain left embedded in her neck, and the toll of seven pregnancies, many unplanned, from encounters with stray dogs. Most of her puppies either disappeared or didnāt survive. She never lost her gentle, hopeful nature, even when kindness was rare. After finally being rescued, Roxy got the medical attention she needed, including surgery on her neck and being spayed so sheāll never go through another unwanted pregnancy. Now, sheās started to blossom. She greets neighbor dogs with her big Husky "talk," enjoys walks, and craves attention. Her leash skills are a work in progress (sheās strong and still learning), but sheās eager to please. Roxy needs a home with people who understand Huskies, can provide room to move, and will let her finally relax into a life where sheās valued and loved. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
