Meet Rooter, a charming Hound Mix who is simply irresistible! Born in August 2024, this dashing fellow is ready to turn his pages and write a new chapter filled with love and adventure! 🌟 While Rooter’s past is a bit of a mystery since he was found wandering as a stray, it only emphasizes his dream for a loving family to call his own. True to his hound nature, Rooter is curious, smart, and is always on an exciting scent-tracking adventure! Imagine the fun you'll share together as he sniffs his way around the backyard and explores the world with those big, beautiful ears flopping in the wind! But remember, to keep our Rooter safe, a lovely fenced yard is on his wish list where he can roam without a care in the world. 🐾 Oh, and did we mention that Rooter loves company? With proper introductions, he could fit right in with other dogs and older kids. But if you’re a fellow who wants to shower him with all your love and attention, he might do best as the star of his own one-pet show! 🌼 Eager to meet you, Rooter is looking for a family that will provide him with guidance, plenty of patience, and everlasting love. A loyal companion, he’s ready to bring so much joy and laughter into your life. He’s neutered, vaccinated (including rabies), microchipped, wormed, and even tested negative for heartworms. What a catch! But remember, to bring Rooter into your warm embrace, you must apply through the Buddy App and live within approximately 100 miles of one of our adoption sites in Benld or Springfield, IL. And yes, you need to be at least 18 years old. Let the love story begin! ❤️ Apply to adopt Rooter through the Buddy App today!
