About Roo

Meet Roo! Roo is a spirited five-and-a-half-year-old American Pitbull Terrier mix in Waynesville, NC. She boasts a stunning black coat with charming white accents that perfectly matches her affectionate nature. At 45 pounds, this medium-sized girl is the perfect blend of enthusiastic play and cozy cuddles, forming strong bonds with her people once she feels at ease. While Roo may need some time to warm up to new faces, her patience pays off in hugs and snuggles! She enjoys staying close to her humans, playing tug, and relishing serious cuddle time. With a medium energy level, Roo benefits from regular walks and play sessions. Having completed a seven-week basic obedience course, she knows commands like sit, stay, and lay down. Continuing her training with positive reinforcement can deepen your connection. Roo’s past has shaped who she is today. Rescued from a stray situation, she had a painful history, including a rope embedded in her neck that left a scar. This experience may contribute to her sensitivity and some anxious behaviors around children and unfamiliar people. In her new home, she would do best with experienced adults who can understand her signals and offer the support she needs. Roo is not suitable for homes with children and has shown signs of anxiety around them. With other dogs, she is playful and social in off-leash settings but can feel uncomfortable on a leash, requiring careful introductions in secure environments. Roo is spayed, microchipped, house-trained, and up to date on vaccinations. She thrives in quieter settings where she can safely explore and play. Ready to give Roo the loving, stable home she deserves? Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
