About Roxy

Meet Roxy, a small mix of Dachshund and Chihuahua with an apricot coat and a big personality packed into 16 pounds. At 5 years old, she’s playful with dogs and lights up for adventures like walks or trips to the dog park—but she's equally content burrowing under blankets and snuggling at home. Roxy is smart and picks up routines fast; ask her to go to her crate or out for a potty break, and she’ll oblige every time. She’s house trained and crate trained, making her a breeze to live with. While she enjoys the company of other dogs, she’d do best in a home without cats since her idea of play can be a bit much for them. Adaptable and eager to please, she’ll fit into most lifestyles and will shower her future family with love and cuddles. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
