About Roofus

Roofus is around 3.5 years old and brimming with energy. This handsome Border Collie thrives on activity, spending his days running in the yard and trying to herd his companions. He’s friendly with dogs but prefers to keep his distance when it comes to playing. Cats don’t bother him much either; he remains indifferent. Public outings or car rides don’t faze him; he excels in social settings and walks briskly on a leash. While Roofus enjoys companionship, he is sensitive to sudden loud noises and can become scared. On the plus side, he shows remarkable obedience, has excellent recall, and understands commands like sit and shake. He is pending neuter and will only go to a foster-to-adopt situation until his procedure is completed. Afterward, adoption can be finalized. Don't miss the chance to meet Roofus!
