Roxy Needs a Home That's Ready to Play

With energy to spare, Roxy is ready to run and play with a new family!

If you want a dog to play with, Roxy is your dog! This three-year-old Catahoula mix has energy to spare and loves to play with her rope and ball.

While she's super playful, Roxy doesn't get along with other dogs. That doesn't mean she's not loving though. She's got lots of love to give to her new family!

What Is the SPC Vet Tech School?

The tech school is part of St. Pete College and is conveniently located next door to Pinellas County Animal Services. The school works with some animals from Pinellas County Animal Services to help socialize and ready them for permanent adoption in a forever home. Lovable Roxy is an example.

Here is information from the school's website:

"SPC’s new $11 million, Veterinary Technology facility boasts more than 32,000 square feet of state-of-the-art classrooms, labs, surgery and x-ray suites, kennels and offices. Located next door to Pinellas County Animal Services on Ulmerton Road, the convenient location will make it easy for SPC students to get valuable work experience and for county services to get a volunteer boost."
