Roo is a beautiful, friendly & playful German Shepherd who had a rough start when rescued from the shelter. After lots of love and TLC, she is now a dainty princess through and through! Her favorite things are pets, toys/chews and car rides. She is a dream in the house-perfectly house trained, doesn't mind the crate (helps if she has a friend in another crate so she knows she's not alone), doesn't get on furniture until she has been invited and sleeps soundly wherever you ask her to. At her foster home, Roo has never stolen or chewed anything that didn't belong to her. She is eager to please and easily, gently corrected if she grabs something she shouldn't (she knows how to trade up). No harsh corrections needed for this sensitive girl.
Appreciated by the less athletic among us is her funny, almost clumsy nature! Having likely missed out on a real puppy hood, she is making up for it now like a puppy in a big body, and she loves running, chasing and playing keep away with her canine pals. She's still working on her jumping skills and she isn't big on fetch - she seems to wonder why you would do such a thing! She also enjoys tattling on her Lab foster brother when he's into mischief or pulling him around by the neck when he won't listen. They are best buds and playl well together all day - she seems to love the bigger male, rowdy friends the most. She still needs some work with leash walking without pulling but with some experience and practice she will catch on. But more than anything, Roo loves her people. She would stand for hours with her head in your lap and let you pet her head if you would and she will snuggle next to you on the couch (or, hilariously, stand on the couch with her head in your lap) forever. She instantly bonded with her foster family like she has always known them, and they know that she will be a loyal companion and perfect family member for anyone searching for their perfect family dog.
