Roxy is a tiny 4-year-old Chihuahua weighing just 6 pounds, with a heart that’s learning how to feel safe again. She came from a background of severe abuse, and because of that, she is very shy and fearful of people. Roxy will need time, patience, and understanding to warm up — but for the right person, she will be worth every moment.

Roxy is not a dog who will run up for attention. She prefers to observe quietly from a safe space and will do best in a calm, low-traffic home with no young children. An experienced, gentle adopter who understands fearful dogs is strongly recommended. Someone who will let Roxy move at her pace and celebrate small victories.

Once she feels secure, Roxy shows glimpses of her sweet nature and desire to trust. She is quiet, gentle, and incredibly delicate, both physically and emotionally. A confident, friendly dog may help her feel more comfortable, but it is not required.

Roxy will be spayed prior to adoption and is ready to start her next chapter — one filled with safety, kindness, and love.

If you believe in giving second chances and have the patience to let a little soul heal, Roxy may be the one for you. Roxy's adoption donation is only $75 as we feel it is incredibly important to find Roxy the right person to help her blossom.
