Her left stifle is graded 2–3, meaning the patella can luxate but can be manually reduced and may spontaneously return to its normal position. Her right stifle is graded 3, meaning the patella remains luxated but can still be manually reduced. Joint supplements have been recommended. Her foster has not noticed any abnormalities with her gait or mobility, and she is not currently showing obvious functional limitations. This condition is documented in Roxy’s veterinary records and should be considered as part of her ongoing medical care. About Roxy’s Breed: Our best guess is that Roxy is a Chihuahua mixed breed. Chihuahuas are tiny, expressive companion dogs known for their big personalities, deep loyalty, and strong attachment to their favorite humans. They often bond closely with one or two people, enjoying warmth, cuddles, and staying tucked right by their person’s side. While they can be a bit timid or cautious with new people or environments, they flourish with gentle handling, patience, and consistent reassurance. Their ideal home is one that offers calm routines, soft voices, and a slow, respectful pace. Chihuahuas thrive with families who understand small dog sensitivities, provide plenty of lap time, and keep them safe from rough play or large, overwhelming pets. They do especially well in quieter households, with adults or older children who know how to move gently around tiny dogs. What to Love about Roxy: After arriving as a pregnant stray and lovingly raising her four beautiful pups, it’s finally Roxy’s turn to shine! This gorgeous girl is calm, quiet, and deeply observant — she adores being outdoors where she can sniff, watch, and take in the world at her own gentle pace. She loves having other dogs around and prefers to play with them (over toys or people). Inside, she loves soft, cozy spaces, staying close to her people, and soaking up affection. She may give a tiny whimper when she wants attention, but she settles quickly and drifts into a peaceful nap. Her delicate “fur angel wings” make her even more precious. Roxy loves everyone she meets and just wants sweet, gentle love. She hasn’t met young children yet, but with respectful, slow introductions, she’ll likely do wonderfully. She’s potty trained and does well with consistency and routine, and she’s also crate trained. Roxy is very people oriented — she’ll whimper softly when she can’t see her humans, but her foster family hasn’t heard her bark once. She’s lived with dogs before and been fine, though she prefers human companionship; she’s open to a meet and greet with potential fur siblings. Her energy level is low and calm. Roxy isn’t interested in toys or fetch — she’d much rather play outside with other dogs or curl up in a comfy bed or on the couch beside her people. She does beautifully on leash and enjoys her daily neighborhood walks, needing only a little exercise to stay happy. Roxy is an easygoing, quiet, affectionate love bug who wants nothing more than to be near her humans. She’ll thrive in a home that offers plenty of companionship, affection, and soft places to rest. If you’re looking for a gentle, calm, people loving sweetheart, Roxy is your girl!
