Wendy 's Story

Meet Wendy<br/><br/>Wendy is a brilliant 2-year-old, 42 lb girl who is truly something special. Our trainer has said she is the smartest dog we have had — and it shows. Wendy is looking for a home that’s excited to keep learning with her and help her reach her full potential.<br/><br/>Wendy:<br/>– Exceptionally intelligent and highly trainable/ready to engage<br/>– Dog-friendly and people-friendly<br/>– Best suited for a home with older kids who can engage with her<br/>– Walks well on leash<br/>– Does well in the crate<br/>– Plays fetch and reliably brings the toy back<br/>– Affectionate, cuddly, and gives kisses<br/><br/>When Wendy locks in to learn, she really locks in and lights up. She will happily parkour for treats and thrives on problem-solving, structure, and being given a job. Think of the kind of dog who could learn complex tricks or tasks — think 'Omar and Monkey." Wendy could be trained to be the type who paints, skateboards, and rolls herself into a burrito on cue.<br/><br/>While she doesn’t need to work nonstop and is not as high energy as her breed can be, Wendy is absolutely the kind of dog who wants direction and purpose - to be told when it's time to learn, when it's time to chill, when it's time to play. She flourishes when her brain is engaged and she’s working alongside her person. She would not be impressed with simply being walked without engagement/instructions everyday, she'd like to be your second in command and learn a focused heel. With the right forever home, Wendy has the potential to learn some truly impressive skills and become an incredibly bonded, rewarding companion.<br/><br/>As with all of our dogs, Wendy’s adoption comes with group training classes, which are an excellent way to continue building her skills, deepen your connection, and help her settle confidently into her new home with the help of our trainer who has gotten to know her.

Roxy's Ranch Haven's Adoption Policy
Our rescued animals are looking for loving, responsible forever homes. Rescue dogs are pulled from overcrowded shelters where they have been listed for euthanasia due to space. To ensure they find the best match, here’s how our adoption process works: 1. Select a Pet Browse through our available animals and click on the one you’re interested in inquiring about. You may visit https://roxysranchhaven.org/for-adoption/ to do this as well. If you are unsure which animal is the best fit for you, but would like to adopt, please continue with Step 2. 2. Complete the Adoption Application Fill out the form completely, including all details that will help us ensure a good match between you and the animal. 3. Phone Screening Once your application is submitted, a member of our team will contact you for a phone screening to go over your information and confirm if the pet is a good fit. 4. Schedule a Farm Visit If approved, we’ll arrange a time for you to visit Roxy’s Ranch Haven to meet the animal in person. This will be confirmed by email or during your call. 5. Adoption Fee & Paperwork After your visit, you’ll receive an email with instructions for submitting the $350 adoption fee (which supports the farm) along with the post-adoption form and official paperwork, including shelter notes and medical records. 6. Meet your future pet During your visit, you’ll spend time with the pet you’re interested in and get to know them better. 7. Submit Final Paperwork Once all required forms and paperwork are returned, your adoption is nearly complete! 8. Adoption Certificate Issued You’ll receive your official Adoption Approval Certificate, signed by the Executive Director of Roxy’s Ranch Haven.
