Female Dog, Boxer
Boxer / Mixed (Short Coat)
Description:
This is miss Roxy and she is 3 years old, spayed, house/crate trained, current on her vaccines, and she’s being fostered in Tacoma, WA. We have been told that she is a “Moxer” (Mastiff Boxer mix) but what we can tell you for certain is that she is the best girl! Roxy loves everyone that she has met and absolutely loves kids. She currently has 3 human foster siblings ages 14, 12 and 5. She would love to have a fur-sibling in her forever home who is full of as much energy as she is, because she and her 1-year-old Doodle foster-brother roughhouse all day long. She does need slow introductions to new furry friends as she can be quite shy and defensive in new situations, but once she knows she is safe, her personality blooms. Roxy can also be a bit bossy sometimes so a canine sibling who is okay with that would be ideal. Roxy is incredibly smart and even taught herself to go in and out of the doggy door to do her business. She loves to sleep right next to you at night and will play with her siblings all day long. She is a singer and loves to alert us if anyone or anything seems amiss, which includes the pesky squirrels that play in our yard. She is quite vocal, so a house with shared walls might not be the best for her. She would probably do best in a house without a cat as she loves to chase. She is a BIG girl, and her rough playstyle might be a bit too scary for a feline companion. Roxy has a very pronounced underbite which makes her tongue hang out almost all of the time, but it is the cutest thing when she is sleeping. This underbite makes her drool – A LOT! She has a special mat that her water bowl is kept on because when she drinks, most of it tends to go on the floor and not in her mouth. Roxy absolutely loves spending time with her people and will curl up on the couch or on your bed to keep you company. She is curious and loves to chase balls and play tug with her toys. She has not needed to have many behavior corrections, and when she does, all you have to do is call her name and she will redirect. Roxy would LOVE a home with active people who like to walk, hike, and explore as she has a ton of energy to burn and a curiosity to explore the world around her.
