NB: We do not rehome interstate or to applicants under 25. It is our policy not to rehome dogs in the Sunraysia area. As rescue groups have transported thousands of homeless dogs from Mildura and Sunraysia pounds over the last decade, we do not intend to send any back there.

I am Roxy, a beautiful Staghound x Pointer and four years old in October. Due to no fault of my own, I have found myself looking for a new abode and for some special humans to offer me a forever home.
I am house trained and will always wake you if I need to go outside to do my business. I will protect our home and let you know vocally on occasion if someone is at our home or near it. Feed times, I try to be a good girl but my previous fur friend used to try and eat her food and mine so I did get a bit cranky with her but I’m happy eating with others if they stay at their own bowl.
I love being around other dogs but do get a bit excited so need a bit of work to learn some boundaries as I can be very enthusiastic. I would be best around medium dogs or dogs my size andI do love having a furry friend for company. Someone who I can play zoomies with, but not for long, as I run out of steam. A fur friend to spoon at night or a human is my idea of a great life.
When going for a walk, I am very well behaved and if I do get excited, I will listen to you when you ask me to be a good girl. I also love water, so can be your beach babe, any time you want! If you call my name, I will come back to your side, which shows how clever I am to have in your life. When it’s time for a bath, I quite enjoy that and a coat brush, just being spoilt makes me happy.
I would prefer a home with high fences as I do get anxious if left alone, so being inside for that time would be best for us all. I have been known to jump a 6ft fence if left alone outside but if you are home, I am happy to be outside and not jump. I do need anxiety medication and am unsure if this will be ongoing or not. As a bonus, I do travel well in a car and love having my head out the window enjoying the scenery and smells.
I have previously lived with a cat but the cat would have to be dog savvy and know that I may want to chase you and play!
I absolutely love children and am very gentle and well behaved, although due to my size, bigger children would be best. I would hate to knock over anyone with my enthusiasm though I would love to play and have fun with bigger kids. I can be a couch potato also and give you cuddles and hugs and be your best friend. I do love my naps as I wear myself out quite quickly.
I would love to find my perfect family and give you all the love and attention that I can. I am very loyal and loving, love my humans, drives, toys, swimming, playing and napping. I can sometimes find things I shouldn’t have but that can be worked around when we get to know each other. But I promise, I will always try my best and I will make you laugh at my silly, funny, girly ways.
