About Roxy
Hello there! My name is Roxy, and I’m a 4-year-old Boxer mix with distinctive, gorgeous features and a playful spirit. I’m a petite 44 pounds, just the right size for both adventures and snuggles, and I have a lot of love to share! I am a local star and had the opportunity to let my personality shine on WMAR-2 News, Pets on Set segment!
Personality
I’m a friendly, wiggly girl who’s always excited to greet my people with enthusiasm. When you come home, I may jump up to say hello, but I quickly settle down for quality cuddle time. I love meeting new people, and my warm personality makes me a joy to be around. I’m also a little silly and promise to bring lots of laughs to your life with my playful antics!
Skills and Training
I’m fully housetrained and crate-trained, so I’m easy peasy! I’m also great with children, and I’ll gladly be their loyal friend and gentle protector. I know sit, come and crate commands!
Companionship
If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal, and affectionate companion, I’m the one for you! I’ll bring warmth, joy, and loyalty to your home and be there to welcome you every day with a wag and a snuggle.
Energy Level
I am the perfect mix of couch potato and zoomin’ around! During the day you’ll find be either sleeping on the couch or in the dog bed, but when you are ready to play so am I! I love running around playing in the yard and rolling in the sun.
Love and Affection
I have a lot of love to give and can’t wait to share it with someone who appreciates my gentle, friendly nature!
Ideal Home
- I need to be the only pet in the home
- Single family or townhouse (or a condo/apartment with direct access to outside)
- Someone who can be dedicated to continued training for leash reactivity
Come meet me, and let me show you just how special I am!
All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
