Roxy the Puppy is a Love Bug

Every Thursday morning at 7:15am on the Lite Rock Morning Show, the Humane Society of Ocean City brings in the new Lite Rock Pet of the Week.

If you are thinking about adding a pet to your family, please consider adopting from the Humane Society of Ocean City, a no-kill shelter recognized as one of the nation’s top ten animal shelters.

All of the animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped before adoption. All animals also receive an Alumni Card which entitles them to a 10% lifetime discount for veterinary services at the Humane Society of Ocean City clinic.

This week we met Roxy the dog.

Here is some information on Roxy from the Humane Society of Ocean City:

“Roxy is an 8 month old female (S) Pointer mix from Georgia. She arrived on February 4^th 2017 with her brother Little Max. She currently weighs just under 50 lbs., is white with brown patches and freckles about her fur.

Roxy has an outstanding personality, she is quite outgoing and playful! She does need proper socialization, both for living in a “people-home” as well as for her new life in South Jersey.

Down in Georgia, Roxy and her brother lived on a rescue farm from the time they were tiny pups, about 6-8 weeks of age. There they were afforded much different liberties in their “home life” there, than is common here in New Jersey. Expect to run the full gamut of puppy training and socialization.

She is suitable for children- 10 years and up- though not small/young children; Roxy is friendly, but is a medium-large dog (and still growing) and lacks proper social interaction skills with people, as such small children may be intimidated, inadvertently knocked over, etc. Roxy should be okay with other dogs, likely would be okay with cats."
