About Ross

Meet Ross! Ross is a 3-year-old, fluffy-eared mixed breed who was found as a stray. Described by the staff as nonchalant, Ross may not be the most photogenic; he was too laid-back to even look at the camera for his adoption photo. His personality is quite cat-like; he enjoys being in your vicinity, coming over for a few pets, and will allow you to pick him up if you're keen. However, don’t expect him to leap into your lap demanding cuddles—this dog has his own agenda. If you’re seeking a constant companion or a snuggle buddy, Ross might not be your ideal match. He’s perfect for someone who appreciates a low-key presence from a dog content to do his own thing. If you think Ross could be the laid-back companion you need, reach out to the shelter. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
