About Roxy

Meet Roxy! Roxy is about five months old and weighs around 20 pounds—a Puerto Rican Sato with striking eyes, alert ears, and a tail that never quits wagging. Like many from the islands, she carries a unique blend of breeds; there might even be a hint of pit bull and chihuahua tucked somewhere in her background. Roxy’s temperament stands out. She’s a sweet, eager girl who is taking to foster life with impressive adaptability. Her confidence grows daily as she learns the ropes, picking up new skills as she goes. Potty training is going smoothly: she’s even started asking when she needs to go out. She sleeps peacefully in her crate at night and has warmed up nicely to leash walks and the bustle of meeting people in public. Playtime with toys and romping with other dogs are highlights of her day. Expect Roxy to mature into a classic medium-sized companion. If you want a happy, social pup who’s ready to join in on family life and learn as she grows, Roxy could be the right fit. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
