Are you right for Roxanne?Roxy is a 3 year old Great Swiss Mountain Dog looking for a special home to call her own. Roxy is a big, lovable girl, once you know her, she takes a little time to suss people out and can be nervous. Roxy's new home would ideally have experience with large breed dogs and have the time and paitence to continue some of her training needs, such as loose lead walking and meeting new dogs. Roxy is looking for a home where everyone is over 16 and where she can get enough mental and physical stimulation. Roxy is undersocalised with dogs and so would be better living with no other dogs in her new home, she could possibly live with another large breed dog who could show her the ropes but cannot live with smaller dogs or cats.
