Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Toronto, Ontario

Roxi is Friendly, Fun & Well-Mannered

Roxi is a well-balanced dog ⚖️ . She is curious and playful - she also loves interacting with people and is great at entertaining herself too - just hand over the ball ⚽ or squeaky toy and watch her go!

BIO:
- Shepherd mix, 2 yr old, Female
- Medium/Large size (50 lb), Medium-energy
- Roxi was rescued from a fly-in community north of Thunder Bay, by the Northern Rescue Network. While in care she had 7 puppies - that have all been adopted
- Roxi is house-trained, microchipped and has her core vaccinations (will be spayed soon)

ABOUT ROXI:
- Good and easy-going on a leash. When other dogs walk by she is not reactive. She will stop to watch squirrels and sometimes want to chase them but mostly just likes watching them
- A social girl who uses her voice to connect, particularly when kenneled, we’re not sure how she would be in a home environment, but in the shelter’s backyard she is not vocal to outside activities
- Good in a car, will jump right in and settle down
- Highly agile and athletic, she’ll need secure fencing as she can scale lower gates and fences - this also makes her a great candidate for further agility training

ROXI’S IDEAL HOME:
- Roxi enjoys spending time outdoors and would benefit from a household that will give her regular walks and plenty of time outside to play her favourite games in the backyard
- Roxi could be good with other pets in the home, if her potential adopter already has a dog (or cat) we will arrange for a meet & greet
- Roxi would be a great match for a home with older, dog-savvy children who can support her continued training and respect her personal space
- Would be better in a no-shared wall environment because she can be vocal
- She is a dog that likes working and training, so if you’re interested in building a fun, rewarding partnership with an eager learner, she could be a great match for you.

It’s time for this Mama to enjoy her ‘me’ time 💜 and she’s going to make one lucky family 🍀 very, very happy 😊!

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 shepherd dog breed encompasses a versatile group known for their intelligence, loyalty, and strong work ethic. With a heritage deeply rooted in herding and protecting livestock, shepherds excel at various tasks ranging from obedience and agility competitions to search and rescue missions. Their protective nature makes them excellent family pets, offering unwavering devotion and a natural instinct to watch over and care for their loved ones. In addition to their remarkable abilities, shepherds are often characterized by their distinctive appearance, including a sturdy build, alert expression, and a signature double coat that provides insulation and protection in various climates.

At EHS we care for dogs and cats who are looking for forever homes.
