Roxy came to BRLA as an owner surrender with estimated DOB of October 2021. She is a special girl looking for a very specific home
She arrived a strong willed insecure reactive girl. Her time at BRLA has helped her learn better skills to navigate the world. She previously had intense reactivity to dogs and people but overtime and with lots of work, she now is able to walk and engage with many other dogs at BRLA. She is still selective and the right handler is critical in helping her be more open to new canine friends. Roxy would do best as the only pet in the home to be able to focus.
Her reactivity to people has also lessened, but requires the right leadership to manage her in public. She can walk among people in public but still struggles with anyone new trying to meet her. She has gained skills through training but will need work with reactivity to meeting brand new people. Her potential adopters may need to come visit her a few times. But once you are in - you are IN. She is loyal and fun with her trusted humans.
Roxy is extremely treat motivated which is an asset for her ongoing training to build confidence in the outside world. She has completed basic and intermediate group training classes which has provided her with a foundational base to help her continue to more balance. She LOVES training and engagement. Consistency is key and above all she needs a leader she can trust. Without trust in her handlers leadership, Roxy can feel the need to control situations with defensive reactivity. She is a very strong girl who can also be very determined. Her perfect human should be even more determined and have the skills to help her settle down and live a happy life.
We are confident that there is the right human who has what Roxy needs to become the best version of herself and to settle into a life with love and leadership. Once Roxy trusts you, she is goofy and loving like any other boxer. We have loved seeing her gain so much through training and look forward to that paying off in her finding the right home.
THE RIGHT HOME FOR ROXY SHOULD
