Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Royal! This little cutie was found on the side of the road in an upside down, bent up crate. Our best guess is that someone threw him and his crate out of a moving vehicle. Thankfully, he wasn’t injured physically. However, it does take him a little time to warm up to new people, which isn’t surprising given what he went through! Because of this, we recommend that he go to a home with no kids or kids over the age of 10.
Royal is FULL of energy – he’s a 9.9 on a 10 point scale! He LOVES to play fetch! He would really enjoy a fenced in back yard so he can burn off some of his energy. While he is cautious around new people, it doesn’t take him too long to warm up to them as long as they are patient. Royal is good with other dogs once he gets used to them. He is still working on housebreaking.
If you are interested in adding Royal to your family, please go to www.goofyfootrescue.org to complete an online adoption application. He is being fostered in West Tennessee. Transportation is available to Middle Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
