Story
G’day Mate…Meet Roo! This 10-month old canine kangaroo came to us from local animal control after being found as a stray. Roo Roo is a 29-lb pipsqueak, who bounces around to her people looking for love. She loves playing fetch inside (and out!) and has an adorable sprint where she looks like she’s hopping around like a magic marsupial. Roo is cute, super tiny, lovable, attentive, and a true velcro pup when snuggled up inside. She is elegantly agile and can squeeze into the smallest of spots with grace…whether it’s between her people cuddling on the couch, or just squeaking by your legs as something falls to the kitchen floor. She also eats any and all treats, which will make continued training a breeze! Despite her young age, Roo knows exactly who she is…very warm, snuggly, overly friendly, and loves giving face kisses (seriously – non-face kissers need not apply). Roo looks like a miniature German Shepherd, but without all the shedding, and has some age-appropriate puppy energy. She loves, loves, loves to play with her canine foster sister! But is just as content to let you throw a shrimp on the barbie and just hang out with the fam. She especially loves going for walks with the ENTIRE family. Roo is an easy and loveable pup who would be great for most families. Due to her lack of history, older kids would be best for this special snuggle buddy. Roo’s top 3 priorities: 1. A family who gives her the attention she craves and one who doesn’t spend long days away from home.  2. A family devoted to continue teaching her basic manners to help her be the best pup ever. She is VERY treat motivated and eager to learn. 3. A family dedicated to lots of playtime to help burn her puppy energy, so she can relax and become the best snuggle bug ever!April 30, 2024, 11:36 am

Story
Tatum is a gorgeous, shy German Shepherd Dog who had a rough start to life. Tatum is hoping to find an adoptive home who has experience with dogs, and understands their body language. He is wonderfully sweet and curious once he makes friends with new people. Tatum has a great nose and loves long, sniffy walks, and exploring. Tatum is affectionate and happy with people he trusts, and walks fairly well on a leash. He will bark at new people who move quickly towards him, and likes to make friends by just hanging out and going for walks without being the center of attention. Tatum is very gently curious about other dogs, and may be able to live with another dog who can approach him calmly. At this time he is looking for an adult home, and may take a few meets before he is ready to go home with an adopter. This great boy will make a wonderful friend for an adopter who is willing to go slow, and build his confidence. If you are are interested in meeting Tatum, please head to our website at worcesterarl.org and fill out the Dog Adoption Inquiry to request a meet with Tatum. All adoptions are by appointment, thank you!

Story
Sammy is super sweet! This boy enjoys long quiet walks, and has grown to adore the staff who cares for him. When meeting new people you will definitely see Sammy's shy side. Sammy is a gentle pup who doesn't like to be rushed into making friends. He prefers to take his time and let you show him that you can be patient with him. Sammy make take more than one visit at the shelter to get comfortable with new folks, but once he does, you will have yourself a best friend. Due to Sammy's shyness, we will be looking for a home without children, and a home without lots of people in and out. Sammy may enjoy living with other dogs, but they would have to meet first. If you are viewing this dog's profile on Adopt-a-Pet and are interested in adopting, please head to our official website at www.worcesterarl.org to fill out a Dog Adoption Inquiry Form, which will be located under the dog's profile. That is the first step! All adoptions are by appointment, thank you!

Story
Niko is a 4 yo german shepherd. His birthday is 2/2/18 so he's almost 5. I got him right before Covid so he was not socialized as much as he should've been and has some social anxiety when other humans come to his home or are around his humans. He is extremely protective of what's his and will give ample warning to those who are a threat by barking and pushing them back with his nose. He has to be medicated when he goes to the vet to calm him. With the right training and time this can be corrected. He's extremely intelligent and willing to learn new things. He's a working dog by nature. He loves walks, playing catch with his tennis ball, squeaky toys and lots of attention. He won't leave your side or run away. He's house trained and food driven. I lost my husband to suicide a year ago and due to financial reasons I cannot keep him. I am heartbroken and desperate to find him a loving home asap.
