My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Roxy | Boxer mix | 6 years old | Toronto area

Meet Roxy, aka Meatball. (She answers to both LOL).

Roxy's life wasn't an easy one. She's now getting used to being in a stable home environment, living with a foster. She's done well with the various dogs that come and go in her current foster home. Whiles she's now used to life with dogs, she still needs a slower introduction so she feels comfortable. Cats aren't her first choice, but she's been temporarily fostered with cats and has done fine.
Due to her rough start in life she deserves a home that can accommodate her needs, but please don't be put off by them as they're nothing onerous. She's the sweetest girl, and will make a lovely addition to a home.

Roxy is best suited to a quieter home. She LOOOOVES stuffies and watching the world go by through a window. She's the kind of girl who enjoys walks and being outdoors but also really enjoys a comfy dog bed. She's not a high energy girl and is happy to chill.
Due to her past we feel it's best to place Roxy in a home that is adults-only, although she has lived very successfully with kids. We feel this would make for the easiest transition for her, and quite frankly this girl deserves a life with less potential stressors. Her life has been pretty disruptive to date.

Roxy does not feel comfortable walking on laminate floors, but in her current home there are runners down and she finds that very acceptable.

Roxy is housetrained, walks well on leash (although she can be inclined to pull), is very healthy and is spayed and vaccinated.
