About Roo

Meet Roo, a spirited five-and-a-half-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier mix currently in Waynesville, NC. Wrapped in a stunning black coat adorned with charming white accents, Roo weighs 45 pounds and embodies the perfect blend of playful energy and affection. Though she may take some time to warm up to new faces, Roo's loyalty shines when given the chance. She's a car ride enthusiast, loves playing tug, and truly enjoys cuddle sessions with her people. Regular walks and playtime fit perfectly into her medium-energy lifestyle. Completing a seven-week basic obedience course, she knows commands like sit, stay, and lay down—all while thriving on positive reinforcement. Continuing her training will deepen your bond. Roo's journey hasn’t been easy; she was found as a stray with a rope embedded in her neck. This past has made her a bit sensitive, especially around unfamiliar people and children. Because of past nipping incidents, she requires an adult-only home where her boundaries are respected. Roo currently takes Prozac to manage her anxiety, and her new family should be prepared to support her emotional needs. Driven by her high prey instincts, Roo needs a home without cats or small animals, alongside a securely fenced yard for play. While she thrives socially with dogs at dog parks, on-leash encounters can lead to discomfort, so slow, careful introductions to potential canine friends are essential. Roo is spayed, microchipped, house-trained, crate-trained, and up to date on vaccinations. She would flourish alongside experienced, active adults who can provide a structured, affectionate environment. A quieter home where she can explore safely would be ideal. Are you ready to offer this affectionate companion the caring next chapter she deserves?
