About Roxy

Meet Roxy! Roxy is a 4-year-old, 63-pound Hound mix with adorable stumpy legs and a beautiful brindle coat. She has a heart full of sweetness and is ready to find her forever home. After being rescued with her newborn puppies, Roxy has dedicated herself to being an amazing mom at the CARE Sanctuary. Each of her puppies has found a loving home, and now it’s her turn to shine. Once Roxy settles in and feels secure, her fun, playful side emerges. She loves chewing on Nylabones and playing with her dog friends. Roxy thrives on companionship and would benefit from having another dog to help her build confidence. Although Roxy is gentle and affectionate, she can be shy in new situations and around unfamiliar people. Patience, love, and a peaceful environment will help her adjust. Roxy appreciates a calm home where she can decompress and learn that she is safe at last. If you really want to win her over, just remember: she’s food motivated, so treats and canned food are the way to her heart! This sweet mama deserves a family that will cherish her just as she cherished her puppies. In exchange for your love and support, Roxy will offer her gentle companionship and playful spirit. Her puppies have found their happily ever after. Now it's time for Roxy to find hers. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
