More about Roxie

Hi! I’m Roxie, and I’m ready to be your new shadow! I may have started as a stray, but I’ve already mastered the 'good girl' basics: I’m potty trained, I know my commands, and I’m a total pro at following my humans wherever they go. I am 4 years young :) I have two speeds: Olympic Fetcher and Keep-Away Champion. If you throw the ball, I’m on it—but I might just make you 'earn' it back with a little game of chase! I absolutely love being outdoors, and I'm highly motivated by treats (which is great, because my friends say I need a few extra snacks to reach my goal weight!). I'm only 60 pounds so we need to gain a bit more to be healthy.  I get along great with other dog friends, but I’ve never met a cat or a tiny human before, so I'd do best with a slow introduction or a home with older kids who can handle my shepherd energy. Are you ready for a lifetime of loyal snuggles and backyard adventures? Come meet me!"     If you would like to meet me, please visit our website and complete the pre-adoption application.  Once it has been processed then we can make a date to get together! All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm tested (if over 2 years old), vaccinated, dewormed, flea and tick treated, microchipped and more before adoption. Our adoption policies include: Application, Vet Reference, Landlord approval & Criminal Background Check. We do not do same day adoptions. We request that you call for an appointment after your application has been approved to come and visit the dog of your choice. If you have a dog currently, you should bring him/her along to meet the new dog so we can see how everyone interacts.  Please visit our website for additional information.
