Roxy Is Ready for Her Next Adventure — And a Person Who Loves to Keep Moving

At 8 years old, Roxy still has plenty of energy for the things she enjoys most: getting outside, stretching her legs and heading off on an adventure. This 48.6-pound Labrador Retriever/Boxer mix is looking for a home where she can enjoy an active lifestyle while also having the space and quiet time she appreciates. Meet Roxy, currently available through Nevada Humane Society in Reno.

Roxy’s idea of a good day might include a car ride to the dog park, some off-leash time to run and a peanut butter-filled Kong waiting for her afterward. She enjoys meeting new people, but she also values her independence and likes having time to herself. When it’s time for dinner, she prefers a quiet spot where she can enjoy her meal without interruption. She’s accustomed to being crated when left alone.

The Right Home for Roxy

Roxy has lived with children before and is described as preferring older kids who understand and respect her space. Nevada Humane Society recommends a home without children under 12. She has never lived with another dog, so her compatibility with dogs in a household is not established.

For an adopter who enjoys an active companion but understands that dogs also need room to unwind, Roxy could be a wonderful match. Her ideal home will give her opportunities to explore and play while respecting her preference for some quiet time of her own.

The organization’s adoption fees and promotions can change. With November recognized as Adopt a Senior Pet Month, Roxy’s $0 fee may also reflect a current senior-pet promotion, so it’s worth checking with Nevada Humane Society before visiting to confirm her availability and the fee.
