11/03/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Roxy comes with a whole bunch of superlatives attached: according to anyone that’s met her she’s the “sweetest,” “gentlest,” and the “cutest”! She has been perfect on leash whenever I’ve walked her, seems housetrained, and sits for treats. She lets you know how happy she is to be in your company by shaking her entire back end and making eye contact that could melt your heart. She’s previously lived with a little dog and two cats (she was relaxed and playful with all of them) and is said to be playful with children. Please come see this wiggly doll today!
