Roxy

My story

Roxy was adopted from us as a puppy five years ago. While we won’t go into details, we’re grateful to have her back and committed to finding her the perfect forever home. Since returning, Roxy has had a formal behavioral evaluation by BLK9 and is ready to move forward. She’s a sweet, loyal girl who just needs a little space and time to warm up to new people. Once she does, she’ll gladly drop a tennis ball at your feet—again and again—for a game of fetch. Roxy also loves lounging in the grass, soaking up the sun, and snuggling on the couch after a good play session. At 5 years old, she’s hit that golden balance of playful energy and calm companionship. She’s crate and house trained, and while she can coexist with other dogs, she truly thrives as the only dog in the home. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, and low-maintenance best friend, Roxy might just be your girl. Meet Roxy. Sweet Roxy is a loving and kind hearted hound girl. She is happy to lay on the couch and watch a movie, and also enjoys roaming the yard on sniff duty. Roxy is great with kids and curious about farm animals. She would like the pigs to be her friend and always gives the cows a hello. Roxy is learning to be brave on leash, so we would love a fenced yard for her to do her business in, and also to explore all the smells nature has to offer. Although in our care she has not shown any concerning behaviors toward other dogs,we are looking for a family where she can be the only dog tp have all the love and affection she desires. Roxy is really looking forward to having a family over her own! She has so much love to give! ADOPTION PROCESS 1. Review our adoption contract and application. 2.
