Roxy is an adorable 5 yr old Beagle who was turned in to us on 7/3 due to no fault of her own. She is a happy little girl with plenty of playful energy! She likes going for walks and chasing scents in the yard. She loves meeting other dogs and having play time. Roxy can be possessive over her food so needs a family willing to work with her. Beagles are very energetic and do best with active owners and big yards to run around in.

The Islip Animal Shelter is located on 210 S Denver Avenue in Bay Shore. The shelter is open Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. To learn more about the Islip Animal Shelter, visit their Facebook page here.
