More about Roxy

Meet our wonderful Roxy!

Roxy sadly arrived at Battersea as a stray, so we have no history of her life before coming into our care. Despite this, she has shown herself to be a truly lovely girl who is doing her best to navigate a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Roxy has found the busy sights and sounds of the outdoors challenging and is particularly sensitive to noise. She lacks confidence in new situations and has therefore needed some additional support and training from her carers to help her feel safe and more secure. When she becomes stressed outdoors, Roxy can be bouncy on the lead, so she will need experienced and patient owners who enjoy training and can calmly guide her through these moments.

Roxy has made fantastic progress while with us, and we are confident she will continue to blossom in a home environment with the right support. She enjoys exploring new food enrichment and playing with her toys, and we have taught her skills and techniques to help her feel calmer and more settled, both outdoors and when resting on her own.

Roxy has shown some frustrated behaviours around dogs & will need confident owners with experience of large dogs to be confident to continue her training & socialising in this area.

Affectionate and gentle, Roxy finds great comfort in calm, reassuring hands, especially when she’s feeling unsure. She is looking for a loving home with people who can offer guidance, patience, and plenty of understanding. With time, kindness, and continued positive training, Roxy has so much potential and will make a deeply rewarding companion.
