Roxy-Roo

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

Roxy-Roo is an 11-year-old Staffie cross who arrived into our care as a stray, and what a delightful girl she is! Don’t let her age fool you — Roxy-Roo is young at heart and has a wonderful zest for life. She has a lovely temperament, a sweet nature and is an absolute people dog. In fact, she is something of a social butterfly and loves everyone she meets! Roxy-Roo is a fantastic walking companion. She walks beautifully on the lead, loves exploring and takes everything in her stride. She has no issues walking past other dogs or dealing with traffic, making her a lovely girl to take out and about on adventures. She is a gentle, affectionate girl who simply loves being with people and wants to please. We can imagine her being very happy in a home where she can enjoy plenty of adventures, followed by plenty of cuddles on the sofa. Roxy-Roo is currently using ear cleaner for waxy ears, and this will need to be kept on top of throughout her life. Roxy-Roo has now had her spay and is awaiting a procedure to have a mammary lump removed. Roxy-Roo would love a quiet home where she can enjoy the next chapter of her life at her own pace, with a family who will appreciate her loving nature and her enthusiasm for life. She could potentially live with another calm, compatible dog and resident cats, subject to successful introductions. Older, calm and attentive children may also be considered. All introductions will take place at the centre. Roxy-Roo really is a gorgeous girl who takes life in her stride. She has so much love to give and is ready to find someone to share her adventures — and her cuddles — with.

About Roxy-Roo

What life with Roxy-Roo looks like

Roxy-Roo is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Cardiff Dogs Home.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Roxy-Roo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Roxy-Roo?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Cardiff Dogs Home handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Roxy-Roo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Roxy-Roo if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Cardiff Dogs Home will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Roxy-Roo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Roxy-Roo isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Cardiff Dogs Home early rather than rehoming privately; they know Roxy-Roo and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
