About Roxus
German Shepard x Blue Heeler
Roxus is a happy dog that loves playing with toys and lazing around in the sun. He can be a little wary of you at first when meeting you but after a couple of treats he will be your best friend. Being 8 months he has lots of energy to keep you busy during the day. He loves pats and belly rubs and would lick you forever if he could. Previously he was an outside only dog and has been learning how fun it is to be inside. He has never had an accident inside and knows to go outside to the toilet. He loves being with his people and being involved in what you’re doing but can be independent and doesn’t mind being by himself. He would suit full time workers but would also be happy if you’re home a lot of the time. He currently stays in an enclosed outdoor area with access to the backyard when his foster carers are away from the house and is happy to chill and play with his toys. He does like to guard the backyard and bark at birds or strangers in other backyards but does settle down. He loves treats so would be easy to train. He will require more formal training or an experienced home to help him slowly socialise with other dogs and adjust to a more indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Roxus likes to be brushed and after he makes sure the brush is not something he can eat, he will stand quietly while you brush him. He loves running around the backyard so will need a nice sized backyard in his forever home.
Training: Roxus can sit and has been working on stay. He does jump on people when excited and can get a little mouthy so needs further training to correct this. A home without small children would be ideal because of his jumping.
Other dogs/animals: He currently does not live with any other animals in foster care and has not been tested with other dogs or cats, but we believe that with training he would get on with other dogs as he had a brief encounter with another dog and showed no reaction.
Walking/exercise: He loves going on walks but is very strong on the lead. He has been working on being calmer during walks, but training needs to be continued in his forever home. He currently gets a 1 hour walk a day and multiple play sessions in the backyard.
Car rides: He has only been on one car ride while in foster care and didn’t seem to enjoy it too much, so needs someone to help him enjoy car rides.
Food: At the moment he is being fed morning and night, a combination of dry food and prime roll. He has been working on learning to stay and wait for his food.
Toys: He loves rope toys/squeaky toys and rubber toys he can chew. He does love to destroy soft toys and pull out all the stuffing. He is not a digger and doesn’t chew plants.
Sleep: He currently sleeps in an enclosed outdoor area. He sleeps through the night and has no accidents and waits until we let him out in the morning.
Roxus is such a fun dog to have around and would bring joy to any household.
