Life with Roxie: Roo’s summary

Howroo! That’s hello in dog. Let’s picture life with Roxie.

A health note about Roxie

Personality & daily life

• Play, activity & enrichment

  The rescue says: “If you’re looking for a dog who’s traded zoomies for naps, chaos for cuddles, and drama for peaceful companionship, then Roxie is your girl.”

• Affection & connection

  The rescue says: “She’s not asking for much—just a soft bed, a loving family, and a home where she can spend her golden years knowing she’s safe and cherished.”

• Everyday personality

  The rescue says: “That said, she’s reached the age where she appreciates a little peace and quiet.”

Health & care from the listing

• Heartworm is treatable, and many dogs go on to live full, happy lives. Ask the rescue where they are in treatment, what the remaining care and cost look like, and whether activity needs to be limited for a while.

  The rescue says: “heartworm positive”

• Ask the rescue for the full picture: diagnosis, treatment so far, ongoing medication or vet visits, and expected costs, so you can decide with confidence.

  The rescue says: “Heartworm disease is treatable, and she’ll need a family willing to help her through the treatment process so she can enjoy many more happy years ahead.”

• Recorded care or test result — not a full health assessment.

  The rescue says: “She is up to date on vaccines, on heartworm treatment, microchipped, had recent labwork that was overall good with elevated values due to her heartworm disease that should resolve once she is heartworm negative and spayed.”

Things to look out for

• Confirm which routines are established and what training or home setup is still needed.

  The rescue says: “housetrained”

Questions to confirm with the rescue

• How do they handle time alone, and what does their daily routine look like?
• What have you observed around children and other pets, and how should introductions work?
• What care, medication, vet follow-up, or costs should I plan for?

Roo shares health notes from the rescue’s own listing so nothing surprises you later. The rescue’s team can confirm the diagnosis, treatment, and costs.

In the rescue’s words

If you’re looking for a dog who’s traded zoomies for naps, chaos for cuddles, and drama for peaceful companionship, then Roxie is your girl. At 10 years young and 45 pounds, Roxie is the definition of easygoing. She’s the kind of dog who’s happiest simply being near her people—whether that’s snoozing by your feet while you watch TV, joining you for a leisurely stroll, or politely supervising dinner preparations in hopes of a snack or two. Roxie is wonderfully well-mannered. She’s housetrained , crate trained , and gets along beautifully with dogs, cats, and kids . That said, she’s reached the age where she appreciates a little peace and quiet. She’d love a canine companion who’s equally laid-back, but she’d politely like to decline living with any young, rambunctious whippersnappers who think every hour is playtime. She is currently heartworm positive , but don’t let that scare you away. Heartworm disease is treatable, and she’ll need a family willing to help her through the treatment process so she can enjoy many more happy years ahead. Roxie has the sweetest soul and the kindest eyes. She’s not asking for much—just a soft bed, a loving family, and a home where she can spend her golden years knowing she’s safe and cherished. Sometimes the best dogs aren’t the youngest—they’re the ones who’ve already mastered how to love. Roxie is ready to steal your heart. Could you be the happy ending she’s been waiting for? Her adoption fee is $250. She is up to date on vaccines, on heartworm treatment, microchipped, had recent labwork that was overall good with elevated values due to her heartworm disease that should resolve once she is heartworm negative and spayed.
