Roxy is a WONDERFUL DOG!  I can't say enough wonderful things about her - and everyone she meets comments on her good nature and sweet face!  She is good with other dogs, people, and cats.  Her little tail wags a mile a minute when you talk to her and she is very good at fetch.  She happily shares food and toys with our boxer Taz.

We took her camping this weekend with 4 other dogs and 2 other couples which she loved.  Even amidst all of the excitement of lots of other dogs and fields to run around and a river to wade in Roxy was very attentive.  She responds immediately - as soon as you call her she comes bouncing back to you full of smiles. 

Roxy is great at hugs and cuddles.  She is a gentle soul who wants to please and be loved.  She can be left alone in the house and just sleeps on her bed until you get back.  She doesn't have a single bad habit - she is a truly sweet, good dog!

Roxy is a real sweetheart.  She is a very calm girl with a big heart.  For all that she has been through in the last few weeks she's got a great attitude!

She was happy to be in the car and pretty quickly was giving us kisses from the backseat.  She rides well and seems to enjoy being in the car.  She's really responsive and very obedient.  She will do whatever you ask of her and knows all the regular doggie commands like sit, stay, paw, and come.  She's also crate-trained and very good about going in to the crate when you ask.  She is eating well - she ate a full dinner last night and breakfast this morning.

Roxy has come out of her shell a bit since leaving the kennel and is very responsive to us and Taz.  We introduced her to another boxer and a bulldog this morning and she was very friendly but didn't want to play very much.  She is interested in sniffing our cat Tilly but doesn't chase him or want to play with him.  I think she still needs some quiet time and a lot of love before she is feeling confident enough again to play.  Loud noises make her nervous and she walks in circles until she settles down again, and being outside sometimes seems a little overwhelming to her (she seems to feel safe in the backyard and really likes it but on the sidewalk she just wants to go back in the house).

Her little tail wiggles like crazy when you talk to her and if you are sitting or standing she does the "boxer lean" against you.  She really just wants to be near us - she's quite a love!

Here are some pictures. Wanted to let you know that all is well and I'll keep you updated. 

08/09/05 - Roxy

Roxy is a sweet girl who was surrendered to a kill shelter.  She is spayed and up to date on shots and ready to find her forever home.  We will place Roxy with children over the age of 12. 

She is a beautiful girl who does not want to be without a family ever again.  She is heart broken without her family and living in a kennel.  As soon as we gather more information about Roxy it will be posted. 

 Roxy just want to please and give and get lovin.
