roxy

Roxy came to us from a very sad situation living a life outside and often tied up.
She was loaded with ticks, and during her spay surgery it was discovered she had early stage Lyme disease. She is now treated for it and is ready to find her own loving forever home where she can be part of a family.

Roxy is a 1-year old puppy, Pointer and American Staffordshire Terrier mix who currently weighs 45 lbs.
She is people and dog friendly and has no reactivity towards cats on her walks. She has been around children age 12 and up and has been very cuddly with them right from the start.
However, she is a fearful initially of strangers and will try to hide and avoids them. It will take her a little time to get used to new people in her life. Once she feels safe and comfortable around them, Roxy becomes a total love bug wanting cuddles and belly rubs and gives lots of kisses in return.

When Roxy arrived at her foster home she exhibited some separation anxiety when left alone overnight inside her crate. But she is getting so much better about it and is getting used to the routine.
We think it would be helpful for Roxy to find a home where someone works from home most of the time or is home with her during the day. She is used to sleeping inside her crate at night and is doing well with it now.
She would also benefit having a fenced yard where she can run and play off leash with another dog. She loves to play with dogs and her toys, and chew on her chew toys.

Roxy walks well on a leash and enjoys her walks. She also loves playing with her fury friends big and small at her foster home. She seems to enjoy being in water, baths not so much but will tolerate them.
