According to her previous owner around strangers Roxy is shy at first but friendly. Roxy has lived with children between the ages of 6 and 11 years old, she is relaxed and playful around the children but barks at people she does not know. Roxy has not lived with dog but gets along with dogs outside. The owner stats that Roxy is not bothered when someone moves her food or treats while she is eating, when someone takes her toys away. In shelter, it has been reported by staff that Roxy is showing resource guarding behavior with her food bowl, as she hovers over and growls. The behavior department feels that he would do best if placed with a New Hope partner who can follow up on this behavior in a more stable environment and can provide any necessary behavior modification before placement into a permanent home.
