When she first arrived, we thought that Roxy had either just received the worst grooming job ever or that she was suffering from some form of mange. Truth is, neither were true! 
 
With long, soft and flowing hair from her head to mid-back giving way to a much shorter yet still very soft coat, this pint-sized little dog may actually have a bit of Chinese Crested Dog within her mix if not full  She does have all of the other characteristics of the Crested breed: lively, affectionate, alert and sweet-natured, just to name a few. 
 
But while Roxy is simply adorable and has a great personality, someone apparently abandoned her. After she was found as a stray, we conducted an exhaustive search for her possible owner, but no one claimed her as their dog. Now that she's been spayed, received an update on all of her annual vaccinations, de-wormings and monthly preventatives, it's time for Roxy to find her new home. She will do very well in a home with other same-sized dogs and even one with children who are old enough to properly handle a small dog. The one "must" for Roxy is that she loves a lot of attention, so having a new owner who can devote a lot of time to her would be best for her.
 
Roxy is crate trained but will pee and poop in it overnight. She does need additional house training, but has almost mastered the use of pee pads. Roxy did test negative for heartworms during her vet examination. Our vet estimated her age to be about 5 years old.
