Meet Roxy Roxy is a beautiful 2-year-old, 47 lb mixed breed (were thinking Black Mouth Cur mix) with a gentle soul and a heart thats just waiting to feel safe. Roxy came to Canine Collective with her buddies Baby and Bear, and that has already told us something important about hershe gains confidence from being around other dogs. In new or overwhelming situations, she may hang back at first, but having a calm canine friend nearby helps her feel more secure and willing to engage. Right now, Roxy is still adjusting. New people and environments can make her nervous, and she takes a little time to warm up. But she wants to connectshell take treats, and once she starts to feel comfortable, you can see that sweet personality beginning to peek through. Volunteers have noted that for how unsure she is, Roxy actually did pretty well on leash. She didnt shut downshe just needs time, patience, and a little confidence-building. With a consistent routine and a quieter home environment, we truly believe she will blossom. Roxy would likely do best in a calm home that can go at her pace. A confident resident dog could be a huge help in showing her the ropes and boosting her confidence. A foster or foster-to-adopt home would be especially wonderful to help her decompress and settle in. If you have a soft spot for shy dogs and the patience to let them come out of their shell, Roxy could be incredibly rewardingand watching her gain confidence will be something really special.
