Dog of the Week: “Roxy” Seeks Loving Retirement Home

Roxy, a sweet and gentle 10-year-old German Shepherd, is on the lookout for a peaceful retirement home where she can enjoy leisurely strolls and bask in the comforts of care. This seasoned canine companion comes with an impressive resume of good behavior — she’s mastered the “sit” command and handles treats with the utmost gentleness.

While Roxy is showing some signs of hip dysplasia, a common condition for dogs of her age and breed, she is determined to maintain her comfort and mobility through regular visits to the veterinarian. A recent checkup revealed that Roxy is not only dealing with hip dysplasia but also chronic arthritis, which might require ongoing medication and attentive vet care.

Given her hip issues, Roxy would thrive best in a home without young children or other dogs, ensuring her comfort remains a top priority. Her loving heart and years of companionship are ready to be shared with a caring individual or couple who can provide the attention and care she deserves.

For those interested in meeting this wonderful senior companion, the Jackson County Animal Shelter encourages potential adopters to reach out. To learn more about adopting Roxy or other lovable animals, please contact the shelter at 541-774-6654 and press 5 for adoptions.
