About Roo

Roo is a medium-sized Australian Cattle Dog with a heart full of affection. He displays a calm demeanor but can be a bit shy at first, warming up as he gets to know you. While he enjoys the company of familiar people, he’ll thrive best in an adult-only home or one with older children. He's had experience living with other dogs but hasn't been evaluated alongside them recently. Roo has no known history with cats. House trained and crate trained, he walks nicely on a leash and has mastered several commands, including sit, down, paw, and stay. With his love for treats, toys, and stuffed animals, Roo is ready to find a loving home where he can continue to blossom. Think Roo might be the one for you? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
