Critter Details

Female, 9 years old, 75lbs Good with: Dogs of a similar size, kids Not good with: Cats, smaller animals House trained: Yes Energy level: Low to medium Noise level: Medium Hi there! I'm Roxy, and I'm here to tell you a little bit about myself. First things first, I absolutely adore walks! I'm what you might call a professional sniffer. Every leaf, every blade of grass, I just have to stop and take it all in. Treats are my weakness, especially when they're spread on a lickimat with some yummy yogurt. Oh, and chewy toys? Sign me up! I could spend hours chewing away. When I'm not exploring the great outdoors, you can find me by the window, keeping an eye on everything happening outside. I'm a big fan of belly rubs and butt scratches. There's nothing quite like a good scratch behind the ears to make my day. But, I do have a few dislikes. Sudden loud noises really startle me, and I'm not a fan of cats or small dogs. They just seem to rile me up a bit. In terms of training, I've got the basics down like potty training, but I could use some work on commands like 'sit' and 'stay'. I'm pretty good on a leash, but those squirrels? They just seem too tempting sometimes. And I might get a bit excited around other dogs and people, but I'm working on it! I live well with other dogs in the home, but can show resource guarding behavior around food. It's best that I eat in my crate or in a separate room, and I need to be monitored around treats and bones. I have a low energy level, so I'm more of a couch potato than a marathon runner. My ideal day includes a couple of nice walks and plenty of nap time. I don't need a yard, but I do enjoy a good car ride. Overall, I'm affectionate, even-tempered, and gentle. However, I do have some separation anxiety, so I prefer to be with someone most of the time. Another dog for company would be great too! If you're looking for a sweet companion who's always up for cuddles and sniffing adventures, I just might be the perfect match for you. My foster guardian says: "Roxy is the sweetest, loving girl! She will spend most of the day snuggled up with you napping on the couch but is excited to get out on a few walks and smell all the smells. She is potty trained and was great around kids.” Likes: Walks, sniffing, treats, lickmats, chewy toys/bones, belly rubs, butt scratches Dislikes : Loud noises, cats, small dogs My ideal home: Roxy would do well with someone working from home as she loves being with you. She needs a few good walks or dog park visits a day but otherwise would love to be a couch potato. She might do really well with another dog for company.
