Meet Roxy Roo , a Beautiful Long Hair Fuzzy Chihuahua Mix, a Little 12 lb girl, 12 years old. (Dob 5/8/13)

**See her video below that shows her calm personality **

She was rescued from a breeder after multiple litters for 12 yrs. She has senior hearing (doesn't hear quiet talking, but hears louder talking) and has been diagnosed with a Level 5 heart murmur which doesn't seem to cause her issues at this point.

Roxy Roo is potty trained and taps on door when she wants to go out sometimes. She occasionally will have an accident and does try to use the potty pad.

She's a shy little girl, still learning how to really be a dog. When you pick her up, she rolls over wanting belly rub. When on your lap, she lays quietly and will kiss your hand for petting her!

She doesn't walk on leash, so she needs a fenced yard.  

Roxy trying to learn down steps and afraid of up steps. The fewer or no steps preferred. She does use steps up to sofa.

She  does well with other dogs, correcting them if they get too close to face. 

She can be an Only Dog since she just wants to relax and hang out with her people.

If you have room in your home to let her be part of your family, she would love you and sit in the living room while you watch tv!  She won't ask for much but it's "her time" now to leave all that puppy stuff behind.

She will be available after August 15.
