Roxy

Roxy is our greeter and office companion! She is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and was born on February 19, 2003. She has a lot of character, is well-mannered, and soft spoken. She loves making people laugh with her wide array of talents, but only eats healthy treats. Her favorite treats are raw veggies, certain fruits, and lots of GREENY BONES (but be careful mentioning this favorite delicatessen as she does become more outspoken and displays her excitement!) Roxy loves kids, especially babies. The days can get long in the office and she really enjoys her sleep, too. Our office staff will let you know the “Rules of Roxy” but we encourage all patients to get their dose of fur therapy while in the office!
