About Roxy

Roxy came to the rescue with her puppies, and she's about two years old. She starts off uncertain around new people—not shy or aggressive, just slow to trust—but once she knows you, her sweet side comes through. Roxy is figuring out leash walks, and her confidence is growing; lately, her tail wags when she spots her fosters. Cats make her nervous and she needed a lift past their kennels, but she's learning at her own pace. Right now, she's not fully housebroken, though she signals clearly when she needs to go out. Roxy's getting spayed soon and will be ready for her forever home, where she'll finally get the gentle affection she deserves. Your new best friend is just one click away.
