About Roo

Meet Roo, an irresistibly cute and playful 9-week-old Shepherd mix girl looking for her forever home. She currently resides in a foster home in the DC area, but she's ready to pack her bags and find a family to call her own. Roo thrives in a social environment, getting along well with other dogs, kids, and even cats. As a puppy, she’ll need plenty of playtime, snuggles, and training to help her grow into a well-rounded companion. Since Roo is still young, potential adopters should be prepared to accommodate her need for frequent potty breaks and exercise throughout the day, especially if they work standard hours. She's eager to explore the world around her, make new friends, and maybe even take some obedience classes to showcase her intelligence. Do you have room in your heart for this sweet girl?
