About Roxs

Meet Roxs, a charming and independent dog who enjoys being with his people but also values his personal space. He has a gentle, affectionate side, often found nuzzling against his handler's legs and curling up nearby for some quality pet time. Roxs relishes outdoor adventures, where he can sniff around and roll in the grass at his leisure. Having lived with young children, Roxs has been friendly and engaging with them; however, he does require supervision to ensure kids respect his boundaries. It's important that everyone in the household meets Roxs prior to adoption to establish trust and comfort. Roxs has also cohabitated successfully with another dog, though he can be a bit nervous when meeting new dogs. A calm and gradual introduction is key to helping him feel secure. His ideal adopter will understand that building trust takes time and positive experiences, especially since he shows some anxiety around veterinarian visits. A fear-free veterinary team would be a great fit for him. Providing a peaceful environment around food and high-value items is also essential. Roxs may not be the kind of dog who enjoys constant handling, but by respecting his space and allowing him to come to you, you’ll discover the sweet, affectionate companion he is. If you're in search of a loyal friend who loves to relax at your side, Roxs is ready to find his forever home! Come visit him at the shelter or reach out for more information.
