About Groot

Meet Groot. Groot is a charming 9-month-old male Terrier mix weighing approximately 35–40 pounds. He’s social, friendly, and bursting with youthful energy. This house-trained pup enjoys car rides and knows some basic commands. His treat motivation makes training a breeze, so you can anticipate plenty of fun learning together. As an active young dog, Groot will thrive with daily exercise and mental stimulation. He’s still perfecting his leash skills and tends to greet people with enthusiasm, so keep in mind he could bump into small children due to his size and excitement. He does well with the dogs and kids he has met, but a home without small kids might be best for him. Groot loves lounging by the window, people-watching, and squeaky toys are among his favorites. He is expected to attend the Adopt Joy event at Laurel PetSmart on September 26. Groot's adoption fee has been waived, but you’ll still need to go through the application process.
