She was found as a stray and landed at Dallas Animal Services before being given a second chance in foster care. Since then, Nya has shown just how adaptable and affectionate she is. She does well with kids and other dogs, though she tends to prefer hanging out with her humans or doing her own thing rather than constantly playing.

Meet this precious girl ROXY!! At 9 years young, she has so much love left to give. She’s a gentle, sweet soul who is a little afraid of the big world around her. In fact, she’s so timid that even her own shadow can be a little scary!

But here’s the beautiful thing about her… with a little patience, kindness, and love, she’s beginning to blossom!

She has been in foster care for about three weeks, and every day she’s showing a little more of her personality. She’s even starting to come out of her shell and initiate play with my dogs! Watching her confidence grow has been such a joy.

✨ A few things to love about her:

Hi, I'm Pedro, and yes, the smile is real. I know, it's pretty adorable. I'm a 3-year-old Boston Terrier boy weighing in at a perfectly portable 30 pounds, and my favorite hobby is being wherever you are. Going to the kitchen? I'll supervise. Watching TV? I'll be your cuddle buddy. Taking a car ride? Call me your co-pilot. I love absolutely everyone I meet and make friends faster than you can say, "good boy." Dogs? Love them. Cats? Love them too. Kids? Yep, they're great! My foster cat sibling and foster doggy brother are some of my favorite pals, especially when it's time to play outside.Speaking of playtime, I love running around the yard, hanging out with my doggy friends, and showing off my excellent recall. But don't let that fool you into thinking I'm some wild party animal. I'm actually a pretty relaxed dude who believes life is all about balance: a little play, a little adventure, and a whole lot of snuggling. I've got all the important grown-up skills, too. I'm house trained, crate trained, leash trained, and even know how to use a doggy door. Basically, I'm the total package. My dream home? One where I'm loved, included in the fun, and maybe have a furry sibling or two to hang out with. In return, I'll provide companionship, cuddles, smiles, and expert-level shadowing services. So, what do you think? Ready to have the cutest sidekick you've ever met? I know I can't wait to meet my forever family. My adoption fee is $400.
