About Roxy

Meet Roxy! At 15 years young, she still has endless love to share. She was surrendered by a family who cherished her, and now she’s searching for a new place to call home. It's not easy starting over, but Roxy is ready for her second chance. This affectionate girl prefers to be by your side, happily soaking up love and attention. Don't be misled by her age; she enjoys playful moments with her toys and adores spending time with her dog friends. Roxy is friendly with both dogs and cats, making her a perfect fit for families with other furry companions. Though Roxy is a homebody, she can be a bit timid in unfamiliar spaces and during car rides, where she may shake or whine. A warm, stable home suits her best. When meeting new people, she may take some time to warm up, but once she does, she'll happily follow you from room to room. Medically, Roxy has a grade 2 heart murmur and mild arthritis, but she's thriving for her age. With a little skin tag on her face that doesn't affect her at all, she embraces her charm with confidence. Roxy is seeking a quiet home where she can relax, feel safe, and enjoy her golden years surrounded by love. If you're ready to welcome a sweet companion into your life, consider Roxy.
