Name: Roo-Roo
Age: 3 years
Breed: Catahoula Leopard Dog and Pit mix
Background: Roo-Roo was discovered by an apartment complex dumpster and found her way to the shelter in April of last year. Despite her patience and sweet nature, she's been awaiting a forever family for an entire year now.
Personality: Initially reserved around strangers, Roo-Roo takes her time to warm up and trust new people, especially men. Once she feels secure, her true personality shines through, revealing an affectionate and playful goofball. She delights in performing playful bows and wiggling her butt in the air, bringing joy to those around her. While she may have occasional bursts of energy, Roo-Roo is typically low-energy, enjoying sunbathing or lounging in her bed.
Ideal Home: Roo-Roo would thrive in a stable and loving home environment where she can continue to build trust and feel secure. She may prefer the company of male dogs or those who are submissive, but formal dog testing has not been conducted. Due to her tendency to resource guard her food, it's recommended to feed her separately and avoid placing her in a home with young children for safety reasons.
Final Thoughts: Despite her rocky start, Roo-Roo is a sweet and deserving girl who simply needs a chance to shine. If you're ready to provide her with the love and companionship she deserves, visit the shelter during opening hours to spend quality time with Roo-Roo. With the right family, she's sure to bring warmth and charm into your life, proving just how wonderful life can be with her by your side.
