About Roo

Roo is a gentle soul with a soft spot for connection. She grew up alongside her brother Spirit, who found a home back in 2018, and the two landed in Texas before circumstances changed their path. When their former owner chose not to take them back despite being notified, BullyWag stepped in to help. Roo is quiet and steady, content to simply be near her people. She’s adapted well and seems happiest in calm, predictable settings. Roo gets along with children and appreciates a household where she can be included as part of the family. Her estimated birthday falls in September 2013—if you’re into astrology, that makes her a practical, loyal Virgo. Her vaccinations are current, and she’s spayed. House trained and ready to settle in, Roo is waiting for someone ready to offer loyalty in return. Start your journey together! Apply now.
