ROXANNE

My story

Roxanne is a stunning, wrinkle-faced Shar Pei with jet-black fur and an old-soul gaze.A breed rooted in ancient Chinese history, Shar Peis are known for their loyalty, stoic charm, and deep sense of connection—and Roxanne carries all of that in spades.She’s a curious girl who loves a good sniffari, a long-lasting chew, and a cozy spot where she can watch the world go by.Roxanne has had some big changes lately, so she’s looking for a quiet place to land where she can take her time settling in.She’s the type of dog who thrives with structure, patience, and a little personal space.Once she trusts you, she’ll let her silly side show—and that squishy face is full of expressive, endearing moods.Roxanne is still learning the rules of indoor life, so she’ll need someone who doesn’t mind a little coaching and a lot of management at the start.Think baby gates, leashed walks, and plenty of praise for good choices.She may prefer to be your one and only pet, though she’s had some positive dog interactions in the shelter.Roxanne could do well in a home with dog-savvy kids who understand dog body language and are excited to help with her training plan.Her ideal match? A calm home with people who appreciate her dignified nature and quirky moments.
