About Roxie

Lets make it official, apply to adopt! Looking for the perfect balance between playful and laid-back? Roxie is truly your girl! Roxie is an intriguing and lovable pittie mix with a unique heritage—her DNA test showed she’s 37% Husky mixed with several other breeds. Originally rescued from the streets of Dallas, Texas, Roxie arrived alongside her puppies. Now around 5 years old, spayed, fully vetted, and heartworm free, she is so ready for her happily-ever-after. This sweet and happy girl is playful and already knows her basic commands—she’s exceptionally smart! Roxie gets along well with kids and other dogs, but she’s searching for a forever family without cats. Thriving in her foster home in upstate NY, she’s looking for someone to call her own. Every animal in our care is fully examined by a veterinarian, provided with up-to-date vaccinations, de-wormed, microchipped, spayed or neutered, and tested and treated for heartworm as needed. Vet references and a home/family visit are required to adopt, and an adoption fee applies. Transport is available within our area, covering Pennsylvania, the tri-state area, and New England (but not Canada). Give Roxie the forever home she’s waiting for—she deserves it! They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
