About Roxy

Roxy is a 7-month-old Boxer mix with plenty of love and bounce to share. This young female is equal parts snuggler and playful pup—she’ll eagerly fetch balls, tug toys, and then settle in for a nap cuddled next to you. Roxy is especially lively and can leap a 4-foot fence without much effort, so secure spaces and supervision outdoors are important. Toys and treats quickly win her over, particularly when it's time for crate training. She currently sleeps quietly through the night in her crate and will follow a treat right in. House training is still ongoing for Roxy and she’ll do best with someone willing to offer regular outside breaks. Her friendly nature shines through with both people and other dogs, getting along great with her foster's resident dog. She approaches new people with curiosity and warms up after a short time. She’s also fine with cats—she observes them with interest and hasn’t shown any issues. Spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped, Roxy is ready for a home where snuggles and playtime are both priorities. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
