Black Mouth Cur and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Plain City, Ohio

Meet Roxy


Roxy is a beautiful 2-year-old, 47 lb mixed breed (were thinking Black Mouth Cur mix) with a gentle soul and a heart thats just waiting to feel safe.


Roxy came to Canine Collective with her buddies Baby and Bear, and that has already told us something important about hershe gains confidence from being around other dogs. In new or overwhelming situations, she may hang back at first, but having a calm canine friend nearby helps her feel more secure and willing to engage.


Right now, Roxy is still adjusting. New people and environments can make her nervous, and she takes a little time to warm up. But she wants to connectshell take treats, and once she starts to feel comfortable, you can see that sweet personality beginning to peek through. Volunteers have noted that for how unsure she is, Roxy actually did pretty well on leash. She didnt shut downshe just needs time, patience, and a little confidence-building. With a consistent routine and a quieter home environment, we truly believe she will blossom. Roxy would likely do best in a calm home that can go at her pace. A confident resident dog could be a huge help in showing her the ropes and boosting her confidence. A foster or foster-to-adopt home would be especially wonderful to help her decompress and settle in.


If you have a soft spot for shy dogs and the patience to let them come out of their shell, Roxy could be incredibly rewardingand watching her gain confidence will be something really special. Apply at www.caninecollective.org.

The Black Mouth Cur is a versatile and intelligent hunting dog known for its strong work ethic and loyalty. Originating in the southern United States, these medium to large sized dogs are muscular and athletic. Their distinctive feature is the black mask on their muzzle, giving them their name. Black Mouth Curs excel in various tasks such as hunting, herding, and guarding, making them ideal companions for active families looking for a versatile and devoted canine.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
