About Roxy in TN

Meet Roxy, a charming dachshund from Alcoa, TN. At 4 years old, this sweet girl is enjoying her retirement from breeding and is eager to explore new adventures. Roxy is learning what it means to be a dog, and she thrives with the company of other small dogs to guide her. While she is crate trained and uses a doggie door to potty outside, she is still working on her housetraining and will benefit from a patient adopter who can give her the time she needs to feel secure. Roxy has a medium wire coat and her wild boar color adds to her unique appearance. This playful pup loves being outdoors, especially when exploring fresh scents alongside her canine companions. You'll find she barks at strangers initially, but she warms up quickly with some attention. Her new home must include another small dog to show her the ropes and a fenced yard for her to run around in. A family that’s home frequently will help her adjust, and Roxy is not suited for apartment living as she likes to express herself! If you're prepared to offer Roxy the understanding and support she requires, you’ll watch her blossom into the loving companion you’ve been waiting for. Let’s make it official, apply to adopt!
