About Roxy

Roxy is a big-hearted Rottweiler with an even bigger personality. Coming to us from Minneapolis Animal Control, she’s about 2 or 3 years old and has a natural instinct to care for her family, especially the little ones. Kids and Roxy are a perfect match, but sometimes her excitement gets the best of her — she doesn’t always remember that she’s a big girl! This goofy sweetheart thrives on snacks, snuggles, and kisses. Whether she’s making you laugh with her silly antics or leaning into you for affection, Roxy is all about showing love. If you’re next to her and not petting her, she thinks you’re committing a crime! Roxy also excels as a house guest. She’s crate-trained and keeps it clean, patiently waiting for her humans to return once she’s settled in. While she might protest a bit when you head out, she quickly calms down and bides her time until you’re back. She’s fiercely loyal, endlessly affectionate, and happiest when included as part of the family. If you’re searching for a best friend who’ll remind you to slow down for cuddles and assist you in cleaning up any dropped snacks, Roxy is ready to steal your heart. All she seeks is a loving home, plenty of belly rubs, and a partner who understands that personal space is overrated. Please note: Roxy is currently heartworm positive but is on the path to recovery. For her well-being, she will go home on a foster-to-adopt agreement until her treatment is complete. Helping her maintain a healthy weight during this time is essential for her heart.
