Roo-Roo was abandoned by an apartment complex dumpster and joined us on November of 2022. She's been patiently waiting for a family but no one has come to meet her in months. She is affectionate, low-energy, and sweet. She takes time to warm up to new people, as she is understandably weary of strangers. Once she learns to trust you, she transforms into a happy goofball.
This chunky gal has a playful nature that shines through when she performs play bows and wiggles her butt in the air, a surefire way to make anyone smile. When she gets REALLY excited she'll get mini-zoomies, but she's so chunky that her butt has a hard time keeping up with the rest of her body. Other than her random bursts of zoomies, she is quite low-energy and is often found sunbathing outside or sleeping in her bed.
She knows sit and doesn't jump up on people. She keeps her area clean and never destroys her toys or makes a mess in her kennel. Though she hasn't formally been dog tested, we get the impression that she prefers males over females, or at least a submissive dog. We've caught her a couple of times play bowing to another dog between fences.
At the shelter, Roo-Roo resource guards her food bowl, so we suggest feeding her separately. We also suggest no young children because of this reason. She may improve with a stable environment, but we always air on the side of safety.
If you're ready to provide a loving home and companionship to this sweet girl, don't hesitate to visit us during our opening hours. Spend some quality time with Roo-Roo and you'll discover the warmth and charm she can bring to your life. All she needs is a chance to prove how wonderful life can be with her by your side.
