About Roo

Roo is a delightful mixed-breed dog looking for a loving home. He's silly and playful, but once he’s had a chance to let off some steam, he becomes a cuddly companion. During his time in a foster home, he was both potty trained and crate-trained, though keep in mind he may need some time to acclimate to a new routine. Roo has shown he’s wonderful with young children and loves to play with his canine friends. His playful nature can be a bit pushy, so it's best that any dog companions are comfortable with that energy—an introduction is recommended to ensure a good fit. This lovable guy has been neutered and is up to date on vaccinations. If you think Roo could be the right match for you, don’t hesitate to reach out!
