Roxanna is a 4-year-old, 80-pound pit bull mix with a heart as big as her goofy personality. Rescued just in time from being euthanized at a shelter, this peach-fuzzed beauty is ready to find her forever home.

Roxanna is full of energy and would love an active family who enjoys daily walks, hikes or backyard zoomies. She’s a certified snuggle expert, perfect for keeping you warm during those chilly nights.

Roxanna has a soft spot for squeaky toys and will happily pull out her whole collection for a play session.

Roxanna is making great strides with house training, leash manners and even crate time (up to three hours like a champ). She has happily played with both male and female dog foster siblings. With a little patience and another dog to show her the ropes, she’ll thrive in her social skills.

Roxanna needs a family with kids 15-plus who can guide her puppy-like tendencies (she’s still learning not to get mouthy during play). She also needs a cat-free home and a secure car harness because this silly girl gets so excited she might try to hop out the window. She’s a foodie who never says no to veggies or a treat (bully sticks and ice cream are her favorites). She loves rolling in leaves, collecting sticks and sometimes borrowing your slippers. She snoozes through the night like a pro, though she might steal your side of the bed.

Roxanna has come so far in her foster home, proving to be a quick learner with a sweet, loyal personality. All she needs now is a loving family to help her continue to blossom.
