About Roo

If you love a good wiggle butt and a waggly tail, then Roo is your girl! This happy, playful, 9-week-old mixed breed pup has a slightly fluffy coat that’s a mix of black and white, and she currently weighs 15 lbs. When she’s full grown, we expect her to weigh between 60 and 80 lbs. Although she bears a resemblance to a Border Collie, Roo's DNA test revealed a fascinating mix: lab, pit, weimaraner, akita, border collie, american foxhound, and german shepherd. Roo thrives on interaction and loves following the other dogs in her foster home around the yard. She adores meeting new people, eagerly greeting everyone she encounters as if they’re old friends. She’s also intrigued by the cats at her foster home and tries to play with them. This delightful pup needs a family that can provide patience and commitment to training, including housebreaking and obedience. Roo is microchipped and fully vaccinated for her age. If you're seeking an adorable companion who will fill your home with love, laughter, and snuggles, apply for Roo today! Come meet Roo at Subaru World of Hackettstown this Saturday from 12 to 2. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
