21-04-25 Roxy is a beautiful, sensitive girl who has come to us from a home after her owner could no longer cope. Sadly, she is completely shut down in the kennels and is finding her new reality very overwhelming. She cowers when approached and would much rather tuck herself away where the world feels quieter and safer.

It’s clear Roxy has been through a lot, and right now, everything feels too big for her. But underneath all that fear is a soul desperate for connection, once she starts to trust, she gently nuzzles into your arm like a cat, asking for soft scratches and quiet reassurance. It’s truly heartbreaking and heartwarming all at once.

Roxy walks well on a lead and may benefit from a halti once she’s had time to decompress and has previously lived in a home but may have a few accidents at first. Although she previously lived with other dogs, she hasn’t been dog-tested with us yet due to her current stress levels and this will continue to be assessed. She has the confidence to be homed as an only dog and she may like and benefit from having all of the attention. She has shown too much interest in cats, so she will need a cat free home.

This sweet girl needs a calm, adult only home where she can take things at her own pace, with kind, patient people who will let her settle slowly and show her that the world can be gentle. Roxy has so much love to give, she just needs someone willing to wait for it.

Roxy has cuts and scars all over her body and legs, and as we are not sure where this has come from it does not seem to bother her, and she is still just as gorgeous.

Can live with other dogs
