Prince William County Animal Service Center: âMeet Roxie (ID 37698/784) A 6-year-old female Pitbull mix. The owner surrendered to the shelter when they were no longer able to care for me. New situations and people can be terrifying to me, so I may take some time before sheâs comfortable meeting you.â
âMeet Lola (ID 36888/25) A 5-year-old lady is a social butterfly who loves to meet new people.

Lola also has chronic kidney disease and is on a veterinary prescription diet to help support her kidney health.â
