Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, I'm Groot. My foster mom calls me shortstack. I don't really find it funny, but she seems to enjoy it, so I just let her have her fun. I was found on the streets, so a lot of things scared me at the beginning, but my foster mom has helped me gain some confidence. People don't seem all that scary anymore. Once I'm comfortable around you, get ready to be licked to death because once my licker gets going there's no stopping it. I'm potty trained and kenneled trained (I will protest for a little when I get kenneled, but I do really good with my toys and some treats). I get along super well with my foster siblings dogs, the cats, on the other hand have taken me a while to get accustomed to, but I'm getting there. After a couple of weeks, I made friends with one of them at least. I enjoy playing chase with my foster siblings, and like all sorts of toys, my favorite so far is the jumbo lamb chop I take it every with me. I also enjoy fuzzy blankets and car rides. If I sound like your type of guy, please consider filling out an adoption form. Thank you, and happy holidays. Love, Groot
