About Roxy

Roxy is a vibrant 2-year-old mixed breed dog weighing 40 lbs. Found as a stray, she has blossomed into a friendly and energetic companion who loves her walks. Roxy is housebroken and crate trained, which will ease her transition into a new home. She enjoys the company of other dogs but does require a bit of time to warm up to unfamiliar pups. However, she does not get along with cats and would thrive in an active family environment with a fenced yard. This lovely girl is not suited for a first-time dog owner, as she benefits from a confident and experienced handler. Roxy has successfully passed the Our Companion temperament test, showcasing her potential as a wonderful pet. If you're located in Connecticut and can provide a vet reference, Roxy might just be the perfect fit for you. The adoption fee is $130, which covers her spay, vaccinations, heartworm and Lyme test, and microchip. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
