Roxy

Description

Roxy is a big-hearted Rottweiler with an even bigger personality. She came to us from Minneapolis Animal Control on the medical rescue only list. We believe her to be a young adult, maybe 2 or 3yrs old. She's a mama at heart who loves looking after her people, especially kids! She adores little humans, although she doesn't always realize she's a big girl herself, so her excitement can occasionally be a little... enthusiastic. This goofy sweetheart lives for snacks, snuggles, and kisses. Whether she's making you laugh with her silly antics or leaning her whole body into you for affection, Roxy's love language is making sure you know you're loved. And in Roxy's opinion, if you're sitting next to her and not petting her, you might just be committing a crime! Roxy is also a wonderful house guest. She's fantastic in her crate, keeps it clean with no accidents, and settles in beautifully while you're away. She may let out a little protest when you leave for work, just enough to let you know she'd rather you stayed home to cuddle, but she quickly relaxes and patiently waits for her favorite people to come back. She's incredibly loyal, endlessly affectionate, and happiest when she's part of the family. If you're looking for a best friend who will keep you smiling, remind you every day to slow down for cuddles, and happily help you clean up any snacks you accidentally drop, Roxy is ready to steal your heart. All she asks in return is a loving home, plenty of belly rubs, and someone willing to accept that personal space is completely overrated. • Special medical note! • Roxy is heartworm positive and has already started the road to recovery. She is currently taking doxycycline in preparation for her upcoming heartworm treatment injections. During treatment, it’s very important that she stays calm and gets plenty of rest, as limiting activity helps reduce the risk of complications while the heartworms are being eliminated. Because of this, Roxy will go home on a foster-to-adopt agreement until her heartworm treatment is complete. She has also worked incredibly hard to lose weight, and we’d love to see her maintain a lean, healthy body condition, as keeping extra weight off will make things easier on her heart both during treatment and for years to come.
