Roxy

My story

Look, we get it. Roxy is A LOT of dog. She's a big lady with a big personality. It can be a daunting concept.But there are way more daunting things in life with way less payout...like doing your taxes or dinner with your in-laws.In the wise words of Mika, "a whole lot of woman needs a whole lot moooooore!"This big momma is a lab mix who is just over three and a half years old and, yes, she weighs about 86lbs. Which really isn't even THAT bad. It's fine. You'll be fine. Everything is fine.In all seriousness, Roxy is 100% a good girl. She doesn't quite know her own size and thinks she's a little floofy lapdog sometimes and can drag you halfway to Canada if you don't rein in her excitement before it gets the best of her, but she just REALLY LOVES WALKS, okay?! Being outside is EXCITING! There's so many sights and smells and colors! Honestly, just get on board with her enthusiasm. It's a whole lot easier to join her than to try and dampen down her joy. LET HER LIGHT SHINE. GOSH 🙄Roxy is a girl who loves to give kisses and nose boops so make sure you're okay with being covered in slobber and nose slime 99% of the time. She does well with other dogs but can be a bit much for dogs who are lower energy or on the shyer side. She just wants to be friends SO BAD that she forgets that not everyone is okay being charged by 86lbs of wagging tail and slobber and butt wiggles. She means no harm by it but, again, it's that never ending enthusiasm for...literally everything. She LOVES being around people and is content to spend most of her time by your side. We would prefer a home without cats because, while she hasn't shown any red flags towards them, she doesn't know her own size or strength. Similarly, we would prefer older kids (12+) for the same reason. Give this big lady a chance! You won't be disappointed. She's going to be the perfect companion for the right family.
