About Rooney

Meet Rooney, a 9-year-old, 110-pound Great Pyrenees who looks like a combination of a polar bear and a marshmallow. Rescued from rough circumstances, he’s settled into foster care beautifully and is ready to find his forever home. Rooney radiates calmness, embodying the temperament of a retired librarian with the sweetness of a cinnamon roll. His demands are simple: love, good food, and a few pats here and there without disturbing his nap. This gentle giant enjoys the company of other dogs, getting along well with them but isn’t dependent on their presence. He’s met young children and has shown patience and kindness, making him a suitable companion for families. While he can be a little clumsy due to his size, Rooney is not aggressive; he simply forgets that he weighs as much as a small horse. He meets new people with a gentle paw raised as if asking for attention in the most polite way imaginable. Rooney prefers a quiet life, showing little interest in rambunctious play sessions. His energy level is low, typically preferring to lounge around or inspect the yard at his own slow pace. Potty trained and non-destructive, he can be trusted with free roam in the house. At night, he snuggles on the floor or finds a comfortable spot for his legendary snoring. Rooney’s ideal home offers a secure space, some air conditioning, and a nurturing atmosphere. He’ll return the affection with his gentle nature and loving presence. If you think your home could welcome in one big, fluffy cloud like Rooney, then he might just be the perfect companion for you.
