About Roo Young Scruffy Terrier

Roo Young Scruffy Terrier is a lively mixed terrier, about 1.5 years old and weighing 35 pounds. This handsome pup boasts a beautiful coffee cream coat and matching eyes, making him quite the charmer. He's housebroken and crate trained, and he thrives in a household with other dogs his size. However, Roo does not get along with cats and would do best in a home without children due to his past experiences with aggressive men. While he can be fearful of loud noises and men, he forms strong bonds with his primary caregiver, becoming a good protector. Roo loves to ride in the golf cart, play with toys, and enjoy running around. He is active, enjoys leash walks, and is happiest in a calm, female-focused environment where he can feel safe and adored.
