About Roxanne

Roxanne is a sweet and resilient Shepherd mix puppy looking for her forever family. Rescued from a shelter with her mom, Nala, and eight siblings, she's now settling into her foster home alongside her brother Rory. At just 7 weeks old, Roxanne is at that classic puppy stage: eager to learn, craving affection, and discovering how to be a great companion. Based on her mom’s size, she’ll likely grow to about 45 pounds, putting her in the medium range. Roxanne already has her first two sets of vaccinations and still needs two more rounds before her adoption can be finalized. She’s happiest around people and will thrive in a home that takes time for training, patience, and plenty of attention. She’s available to foster-to-adopt in the Greater Atlanta area while her vet care is completed, and families within a few hours’ drive can apply to take her home once approved. The right family will give her the stability she’s missed out on and, in return, Roxanne will give back all the loyalty and love a dog can offer. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
