This is Roxie and she is a good girl. She has beautiful soft brown eyes, a slight underbite, and a curly tail that wags all the time. At 15 pounds and nearly a year old, Roxie is still full of puppyish enthusiasm and energy. Roxie loves Loves LOVES her peeps, and she is the All Time Champion Snuggler. She longs to be close, and will lay her head on my chest and fall asleep with a deep sigh of happiness. At night she will nudge me to lift the blankets so she can crawl under and curl up by my feet.
This sweet girl hasnt had a stable life so far. She has spent too much time in a crate or on a tie out, not getting the love she craves so very much. She has heard only No! and not had the chance to learn, or to hear Yes! Good Girl. She was amazed to find that when told Sit ...if she sat she got a reward.
Roxie is not a plug and play doggie. She needs lots of love, patience, and time to learn all the good skills she is just discovering. She is good in the crate, but shouldnt be confined for long stretches.Roxie loves all humans and does fine with cats. Roxie also loves all dogs - a feeling not always reciprocated. She can be puppy pesty and not know when to quit. My younger, big boys get along great with her. My small, older, fragile girls
not so much.
She is very athletic, and a superb jumper - she clears a 4 foot fence with ease. She has abundant
energy, and benefits greatly from lots of activity. She proves the adage true
There are no bad dogs, only dogs who dont get enough exercise.
If you are looking for a wonderful companion, a grateful friend whose life revolves around you, and if you are willing to help her smooth some rough edges not of her making, Roxie may be the doggie for you. She is full of love and eager to learn all the right things. She is a good girl.
