Roxy is a six-year-old Chihuahua mix weighing in at 10 pounds.
She’s house-trained and doesn’t mind being home alone for a few hours. She shows no interest in toys but loves to go for walks. Roxy is very good on leash. She likes other dogs and shows no interest in cats. Roxy is a real snuggle bug. She’d love a home where she can be spoiled and loved like she deserves to be.
Roxy is spayed, vaccinated, treated for parasites and micro chipped. She comes with 30-days of free pet insurance courtesy of 24PetWatch. Her adoption fee is $350.
