roxy

Roxanne (aka Roxy) is a wonderful, sweet, smart, and energetic dog who loves people and other animals. She might jump up in her excitement at first introductions or lick until told to stop but her tail won't stop wagging the whole time. She knows how to sit and comes to her name when called every time if inside or within a contained environment (fenced field or yard or a dog park). She's excellent off leash on trails, roaming from side to side or a distance ahead but always checking in and staying nearby. She'll roam further afield in deeper woods but always comes back eventually (once she is used to her owner of course). She's very smart and with a dedicated hand and consistent training can be trained to follow any command consistently even if excited by squirrels or chipmunks. She's good with cats and if she's getting over excited with them, she is very responsive to your command to calm it down as well as the cat’s cues that she's taking it too far. She's energetic and absolutely LOVES playing with canine friends so a home with at least one dog is an absolute must for her as well as one with one or more active humans who have time available for play and training! She does very well with kids but can get nervous with little ones (under 5) if they approach from behind or her side and she is strong and rambunctious, so she’ll do best with children over 12 years old. She loves to be close and snuggle whenever she can, gets very attached to her humans and will make a fantastic companion and family member for any family meeting the above profile!
