“Roxy is a loving, outgoing pup who was abandoned to a shelter late last year. The moment we met her, we fell in love. She is full of affection and bouncy energy, a pup we could not walk away from. Roxy came for a visit at our house and we knew right away that this was her forever home. She loves going for hikes on the nature trails, playing fetch and having puppy play dates. You can’t come in our house without getting a warm welcome kiss from Roxy, she is excited to see you every time you walk through the door! I can’t think of a better way to be greeted after a long day at work. She is a huge cuddle monster, and loves playing dress up with us (sometimes). If you want to win her over, give her a kong full of peanut butter and she is in love for life! We are so lucky to have such a fun loving, spunky, affectionate puppy – she is the most wonderful addition to our household.”

“I’d like to submit a few pics of our Roxy. She’s a white boxer, 8 months old and is the sweetest pup. She loves to snuggle but also loves to run and play.

I’ve submitted the following pics:

Graduation-this is from puppy school, can’t tell if she was sad that it was ending or sad about wearing that hat.
New home-we rescued her, as soon as she came in she found a cozy spot and slept for days.
Roxy 2-same evening that we brought her home. She was 4 months old.
Caught up on the bed-she was only 6 months old and I was looking around for her. Found her up on our bed with the sun shining down on her.
Car ride & Car ride1-she loves going on adventures with us and loves being in the car. ” Roxy’s Humans, Kim & Steve.

“Oscar is a 5 year old Pekingese/ Terrier mix that I bought at a pet shop in my town. He has been with me through some very hard times and has always managed to brighten my day. He is our resident nibbler, we find him nibbling his bed and toys all the time. My husband calls him a squirrel because of how he holds his toys to nibble. ” – Oscar’s Mom, Lily.

“Meet Roxy! At almost 9 lbs she’s a spunky little pup that proved she had a lot of attitude and personality right from the get go. She came into our lives at the end of May of last year and now lives in Richmond, just outside of Stittsville and Kanata.

She has completely melted our hearts with her lovable underbite and her love for snuggling on the couch. She will put every toy she owns back on the floor after we’ve cleaned them up, and then whine for the ones she knows are stored in a basket up on the shelf. She loves to dig, chase and be chased, fetch sticks and tennis balls, and during the day she can be found suntanning on the kitchen floor (belly-up of course).

Roxy really loves doing tricks for treats, especially high-five, Bang! and most recently staying up on her back legs. You might see Roxy out and about at Bruce Pitt on sunny Saturdays or going for runs with her mom. She will be celebrating her first birthday on April 1st with her dog friends Rocky the golden retriever and Libby the king charles cavalier spaniel.

Happy Birthday Rox!” – Roxy’s Humans, Stephanie and Joel
