Pit Bull Terrier, Mixed Breed

female, large, young
DESCRIPTION
MEET ROXIE Roxie thought she had found her forever home. Instead, she found herself in a shelter kennel.
At just 11⁄2 years old, Roxie was surrendered through absolutely no fault of her own. Her family loved her, but without a fenced yard, every potty break and every bit of exercise meant another leash walk, and they could no longer provide the life they felt she deserved.
Now Roxie is hoping someone else will give her the second chance she's been waiting for.
This beautiful girl has so much going for her. She's house-trained, crate-trained, and already knows basic commands, making the transition into her new home even easier. She has a calm, laid-back personality and is happiest just being with her people. Whether you're relaxing on the couch or heading out for an adventure, Roxie is simply happy to be by your side.
On walks, Roxie gets excited when she spots other dogs and can pull toward them out of curiosity. She would benefit from a front-clip harness and continued leash training to help her become the perfect walking companion. We recommend a dog meet-and-greet with any resident dogs to ensure a good fit. Cats and children are unknown at this time.
Roxie has already lost the only home she's ever known. Let's make sure she doesn't spend another day wondering why.
Come meet Roxie and show her that forever really can last forever. 65lbs If you are interested in meeting Roxie, please visit the shelter during open adoption hours:

ABOUT: MIXED BREED DOG BREED
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.
The Pit Bull Terrier is a resilient and loyal breed known for its muscular build and loving nature. Originally bred for bull baiting and later dog fighting, Pit Bulls today are beloved family pets cherished for their gentle temperament and playful personality. With proper training and socialization, Pit Bull Terriers make affectionate companions that thrive on human interaction. Recognized for their strength and agility, these dogs require regular exercise and mental stimulation to channel their energy positively, reinforcing their reputation as devoted and trainable pets.
