Looking for the mature, couch potato, little lap warmer sort? Well we’ve got you covered. Meet Roxie! In true chihuahua fashion she’s never met a couch or blanket she didn’t love or a human she couldn’t convince to snuggle. She’s happiest burrowed right along side you and she doesn’t care if that “you” is someone she knows or not. No one is a stranger and every lap and person is fair game as far as Roxie is concerned. She walked into her foster home like she’d always lived there just happy to have all the same comforts she’d had before.
Roxie was loved her entire life. She had three canine buddies of various sizes and a human man to give her all the things she needed. She lost everything in an instant when her human suddenly passed away. His passing wasn’t discovered for several days and poor Roxie and her dog friends were left all alone. Thankfully his family stepped up once they realized he’d passed and cared for the dogs while they worked on rescue placement. Roxie and her 3 friends scored a spot with us.
Roxie is sweet, easy and really affectionate. Shes as quiet as a mouse, we haven’t heard her bark even once, and has a low key energy level. Shes great with other dogs and house trained too. She’ll even stand by the back door when she needs to go out. She’s a little plumb from all the good meals she got and needs to lose a pound or two and is definitely in need of a dental. This sweet girl would be the perfect fit for a family looking for a nice companion past all the antics of puppyhood and simply wanting someone to hang out and snuggle. Those are Roxie’s only goals and we feel confident we can find a home and family who will give her just that!

Here’s what you need to know about adopting a cat or dog from Marley’s Mutts:
- Each adoptable pet will be introduced on Facebook
- Each pet will have its own profile here on the website
- All pets will be spayed or neutered
- All pets will be micro-chipped and shots will be up-to-date
- Each pet has their own application to complete—make sure you use the right one (linked from their bio)
It’s important to us that each pet goes not just to a great home but to the “right” home. Our foster parents work with each pet to get to know them and their needs.
We try hard to list all of the pertinent info about each pet on the site so you can choose the pet that will fit with your family/lifestyle. If you don’t see a specific pet on the site, he/she is not ready for adoption. Please be patient and wait until the bio is listed. We don’t decide on a “first come, first served” basis but rather on a “who’s the very best fit.” So, don’t panic.
It’s not a quick process. We receive dozens of applications for each pet so please be patient. If you’re shortlisted you’ll be contacted as soon as possible.
If selected to meet one of our pets and you currently have pets, you’ll be asked to do an in-person pet intro; we don’t do the long-distance adoption thing. If you live out of town, plan a fun road trip to meet the pet in person.
Don’t be discouraged if your application is not selected. Remember, we get a lot of them! Trust us, the best fit for you is coming.
If you’re lucky and you do adopt a super amazing pet from Marley’s Mutts, don’t ever hesitate to reach out to us for training, medication, or behavior questions. We’re here for you, and your pet.
