About Roxy

Roxy was rescued from a small shelter in the central valley where she was often overlooked. She arrived underweight at 52 pounds but aims for a healthy weight closer to 60 pounds. Despite her size, Roxy has a friendly nature and gets along well with other dogs. During her initial meeting with cats, she simply ignored them, more focused on the search for snacks. She is crate trained and housebroken, though some work remains on her leash skills. With a gentle demeanor, she would thrive as a family dog, particularly in homes with children over the age of 5. Roxy is eager to join you on all your adventures and would make a delightful companion. If you are interested in meeting Roxy, please submit an application through Novy's Ark. She's waiting for her forever home in Arroyo Grande, CA. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
