Notes from Lil Rascals Dog Rescue

Roxy is an approx. 1yo, 53lb. possible hound/pittie mix. She is a shy girl who prefers lazy days on the couch next to you rather than the adventurous life. She is an introvert through and through with the sweetest eyes and demeanor. Roxy loves belly rubs, a Kong toy stuffed with treats, and jumping on her hind legs to greet you. She is still working on being brave and exploring on walks but is getting more confident by the day. She follows at your heels whether on leash or not. She is potty trained, crate trained and only howls if she hears an intruder outside... otherwise she's as quiet as a mouse. She does fine left alone and enjoys lounging on her favorite couch. Roxy is polite with toys, but mostly ignores them and prefers human interaction over the plushies. She also chooses her favorite humans over other dogs, and most likely with cats too. She has not officially been cat tested but has shown zero prey drive and seems to be pretty aloof around other animals. That's not to say she can't make friends. Her laid back, submissive personality is appreciated by other dogs and once acquainted, she will romp around in the yard and shower them with kisses. Then she loses interest and goes back to her person. As far as car rides go, she is terrified in the car and trembles for the majority of the ride but eventually settles in. A yard would be beneficial for her, but mainly she needs a quiet home, in a quiet community, with patient and loving people who will give this insecure pup the time she needs to settle in and become a confident member of the family. If you're looking for a fellow couch potato who shares your lack of enthusiasm at meeting new people... look no further. Your furry friend is in this gorgeous pup named Roxy!
