About Roxy

Meet Roxy, a 2-year-old American Bulldog/Pit Bull Terrier mix who’s happy, healthy, and on the heftier side. She comes fully house-trained and is driven by snacks—her favorite thing in the world. Roxy is independent and easygoing, preferring to move through her world at her own pace. She’s the type of dog who enjoys time outdoors, calmly sniffing around, and isn’t one for constant attention. Though Roxy came to us after a bite incident, it was clear she was not to blame, and since arrival, she hasn’t shown a hint of aggression toward people. She’s been around children, handles pets without fuss, but isn’t overly attached. She gets along peacefully in a home—content to coexist rather than compete for attention. Roxy has had a litter before, but she's ready to leave her past behind and give her loyalty to her people. If you want a mellow, sweet companion who enjoys company and craves treats more than cuddles, Roxy will fit right in. She does not get along with other dogs or cats, so she’s best as the only animal in the house. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
