• Hi, my name is Roxy. My foster mom says I am a smart, amazing dog. I am perky and playful, and love to fall asleep on her lap. I’m a very happy girl who is likely to be a medium/large dog since I’m a Catahoula mix, so will need regular exercise and lots of mental stimulation.
• I love all my toys, especially ones with squeakers and tassels such as rope toys. I also love a rawhide bone, with supervision of course, so I don’t swallow a large chunk. I’m learning to self-entertain with my toys, as well.
• I’m learning “sit” and “down,” and I come when called. I’ll follow you around wherever you go.
• I’m potty training outside and doing really well. Of course, my foster mom is doing well at reading my cues: loss of interest in toys and wandering off and staying on a pretty good schedule. I do well on a leash, but haven’t been with my foster mom long enough to get out on regular walks.
• I must admit I’m not a fan of the crate and have been pretty vocal about it, but I’m warming up, especially if the crate is near mom and at night in her room. With those conditions, I sleep through the night.
• Additional info:
• My foster mom has gotten me on a pretty good schedule that works for us. Of course, you may need a slightly different schedule:
• Wake up/out for potty; eat breakfast; play; training; out for potty; nap; play some more; crate for work; repeat.
• I am pretty nippy and this needs to be nipped in the bud since I have very sharp teeth :-), so we are working on that primarily with leave it/distract and replace.
• I got to go to a local quilt shop for a little socialization and had fun meeting so many new people. I love everyone.
• I know I will have lots of new experiences with you and since I am very active I would love to go on long walks/hikes. I’m sure I’ll love a dog park too!
• I can’t wait for my forever home. I’m definitely ready to be YOURS!
