Meet Roxie

Meet Roxie! A delightful three-year-old Border Collie/Bernese Mountain Dog mix from Fort Worth, Texas, whose gentle soul and loving eyes are sure to steal your heart!  Roxie, a strikingly beautiful large dog weighing about 60 pounds, embodies the loyalty and intelligence of her breeds. She's not just a companion; she's a friend who adores being close, whether it’s snuggling next to you on the rug or occasionally hopping into bed to catch some Z's together! A paragon of good behavior, Roxie is fully crate and house-trained. She responds brilliantly to commands like sit, down, stay, come, and even shake, showing off her good manners daily. She’s a dog who doesn’t jump up on you, preferring to express her affection in more grounded ways—perhaps with a gentle nudge of her nose or a calm presence by your side. Roxie thrives in a space where she can stretch her legs and explore, making her ideal for a home with a backyard where she can roam and play. She’s also a phenomenal watchdog, always alert and observant, making her a reassuring presence in any home. Her favorite toy is an owl squeaky toy, and she loves activities that stimulate both her mind and body, like tug of war or a challenging game of fetch! Though Roxie does well in her crate and is unperturbed by short periods alone, she's not too fond of other dogs or squirrels during her walks, which can make her a bit anxious. Thus, she'd flourish most with an owner who understands her need for daily walks and playtime, all within a safe, secure environment. This wonderful dog is looking for a loving owner who enjoys outdoor activities as much as indoor cuddles, someone who values the serene companionship Roxie offers. She is vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, and her health checks are all up-to-date, making her ready to start her next chapter with a caring family. Could you be the one to explore new horizons with Roxie, giving her the loving home and the playful yard she dreams of? For adoption inquiries, please contact [email protected]!
