A volunteer writes: Who’s got four stubby legs, little white toes, a big lab head and a huge personality? ROXXY! It didn’t take me long to be absolutely smitten with her. For starters, she knows her commands–sit, lay down, and probably more that I haven’t figured out yet. Given her intelligence and food motivation, I’m pretty certain she could learn anything you taught her. Likewise, she appears to be housebroken, and walks nicely on the leash. Her passion for toys is undeniable. Upon entering the yard, she tried to get as many balls and squeaky toys that she could to fit in her mouth. Just the sight of a toy can set her in motion for a series of hysterical zoomies around the yard. She’s energetic, but once she’s expended some of that steam, she is all cuddles and kisses. Roxxy is eager to jump in my lap, and I’m pretty sure she could have chilled the rest of the day there, if allowed. Roxxy previously lived with a small dog, was playful with him and has done well with dogs that match her gentle play style in doggy playgroup. She seems to like kids, wags her tail at just about everyone, and enjoys bathing (sans the hair dryer!). There’s no denying Roxxy’s larger-than-life personality, but the best way to experience it is in person. Ask to meet her today! A volunteer writes: Roxxy is everyone’s favorite wild child! I’m pretty sure I actually squealed when I first saw her–she is SO CUTE. Like a walking sausage with the most adorable funny face. She has unique coloring and even some grey on her face that makes her look old and wise, but I don’t think Roxxy has plans of growing out of puppy-dom anytime soon! She has some housetraining, has previously lived harmoniously with children and little dogs, and what she lacks in leash manner she more than makes up for with her contagious brand of enthusiasm. Her likes include finding treasures made of sidewalk trash to carry around the block, chasing insects (flying and crawling!), and TOYS. Sometimes when I pass her cage she’s just sitting there with a plushy in her mouth and when I gave her two balls outside she proceeded to knock one with the other and bound after them both (like her own version of pool!). She gets jumpy and mouthy when she’s excited and under-exercised, but the good news is she’s super duper treat-motivated so it’s easy to channel her into more ladylike behavior.

IN SHELTER BEHAVIOR: Since her arrival at the Care Center, Roxxy has displayed concerning kennel presence behavior- barking, lunging, and growling when approached. In spite of enrichment efforts, the behavior remains persistent. The Behavior Team feels that she is not a candidate for the adoptions room and placement should be sought as soon as possible. ENERGY LEVEL: Her previous owner reports a high activity level.Roxxy displayed high energy and movement throughout assessment. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the (behaviors outlined below). _X_No young children (under 5)- Due to a high energy seen in the care center, (jumping bouncing) being difficult to control due to her energy level. we feel that Roxxy may be intimidating to young children. Potential challenges: _X_ House soiling- Roxxy is reported to have frequent accidents in the house, and appears not to have been housetrained in the past. She will need guidance and consistency to learn to eliminate outside. We recommend crate training (the crate must be made positive and never used as a punishment), frequent walks, rewards for eliminating outside (treats, toys, games), consistent feeding schedule, and careful monitoring when inside. Accidents should never be punished as it can damage the human-dog relationship and is likely to make the problem worse. _X_ Destructive behavior- Roxxy is reported to chew on furniture/paper when left alone for long periods, so we advise future adopters to make sure to provide mentally and physically stimulating, appropriate chew toys to keep Roxxy occupied when left alone.
