Cutest

Name: Roxy Rose
Breed: 86.9% American Pitbull terrier 14% bull terrier
Fun Fact: “This is Roxy Rose we adopted her from a rescue in Texas and they rescued her from a kill shelter when she was less then a year old. Roxys previous owners abused her and used her as bait. She is covered in scars from bites. Despite all she has endured she is the most loyal, affectionate, playful and protect baby girl ever. Roxy is a sweetheart. My girl is a bit shy and timid at first but once she warms up she will show off that spunky energetic kind soul that she has. We did a DNA test through embarrassed and found out she’s 86.9% American pitbull terrier and 14% Bull terrier. My wish is to change the world’s perspective on pitbulls as a whole. These dogs have such a bad rep for being aggressive and that’s not true at all. It’s the people that teach them to be mean. Pitbulls are not born aggressive. Thank you for this opportunity to show off my sweet girl”
