Roo Roo

Roo Roo is a spirited and confident Cockapoo mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. At 10 years old, he knows what he wants out of life and isn't shy about expressing himself. He loves playing with a tennis ball, enjoys chase, and knows cues like sit, down, high five, and paw, showing his intelligence and potential for further training. While he values his independence and personal space, especially around his belongings, Roo Roo also has a softer side, cherishing attention, affection, and quiet companionship with his trusted people. He's a funny, loyal, and loving dog who will fill your life with laughter and charm once he bonds with you.

As a Cockapoo mix, Roo Roo likely inherits the intelligence and trainability of a Poodle, combined with the affectionate nature of a Cocker Spaniel. These breeds typically have moderate energy levels, requiring regular exercise to keep them happy and healthy. His medium-length coat suggests moderate grooming needs, likely requiring weekly brushing to prevent mats and keep his fur healthy. Roo Roo's resource guarding tendencies mean he needs an owner who understands dog body language and can provide clear boundaries and structure. He thrives on confident, respectful handling and reciprocated affection, demonstrating resilience despite a challenging past.

Roo Roo is seeking a very experienced adopter or family who understands dogs with strong opinions and can provide a calm, adult-only home environment. Due to past experiences, he cannot be placed in a home with children, and his tendency to chase cats means a cat-free household is essential. His ideal human will be someone who respects his boundaries, manages his resource guarding calmly, and enjoys a dog with character. Roo Roo is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and heartworm negative, ready to find his forever home where he can feel safe, respected, and adored.
