Hi!! I’m Rox—though apparently I also answer to Roxy, Ms. Piggy, professional toy collector, and full-time happy girl. I may have previously claimed to be a very refined poodle mix, but recent foster reports suggest I might actually be more border collie and lab than anything! Regardless of what I am, I'm sweetheart with a lot of enthusiasm for life. I’m crate trained, potty trained, fantastic on leash, and I already know my name, “come,” and “sit.” I’m working on “wait” and “drop it,” because I’m smart and eager to please—I just sometimes get excited and my body forgets to stop bouncing. I also “talk” in adorable little grumbles, groans, and snorts instead of barking, which I think is much more sophisticated.
I love toys—especially tennis balls and chew toys—and may occasionally attempt to stash my treasures behind furniture for safekeeping. I adore gentle neck and face rubs, zooming around the yard, and then promptly passing out in my crate where I may or may not snore a little. I’ve done great meeting other dogs, though I can be a bit enthusiastic and forget that not everyone wants to be greeted like we’re reuniting after ten years apart. Because I’m still learning to keep all four paws on the ground and use my mouth politely when I’m excited, I’d do best with older kids or dog-savvy ones who understand I’m still learning. If you’re looking for a joyful, silly, affectionate adventure buddy with a whole lot of personality, I am so ready to be your girl.
A note from my fosters: Recently, we discovered that Roxy may not shed very much if at all! We also suspect she may be part boxer along with her terrier and collie heritage. We love our girl!
