We had lost our Rotti/Lab, Jake, a few months prior and were not looking for another dog as we already had 2 dogs. Our local Androscoggin Humane Society runs a full page advertisement that shows dogs that are available for adoption. In the paper was a photo of a female version of “Jake” with her head cocked sideways and smiling.
Roxy had been in the shelter for about 2 months and after multiple visits and a meet and great with our other dogs, we adopted her. The next day, she began barking at strangers when they approached the house and seemed to realize she was home.
A few years later, she “adopted” our golden retriever puppy and taught him the ropes and they have become best friends. She’s older now and has some arthritis but still loves to hike, swim and snowshoe and has been the best dog ever.
