Meet Rambo, aka Mr. Roo! This sweet 5-year-old boy has left his puppy mill past behind and won’t be looking back! Gentle and resilient, he’s embracing his new life with an optimism that’s impossible not to love.
He is a playful, affectionate little man who loves squeaky toys, chasing squirrels and hanging with canine friends of all sizes. But his favourite place of all is right beside his person, soaking up cuddles, handing out kisses and cuddling up for a cozy night on the couch or in bed (the big bed, of course!).
Roo is potty trained, non-destructive, travels well in the car and is easygoing with grooming and handling. He’s neutered, up to date on his vaccines and has had his dental work completed.
Many things are still new to Roo, and he can be skittish at times. If startled, he may jump or bolt for a moment (but bounces back quickly), so secure fencing and a snug hold on the leash are important while he settles in. He’s doing remarkably well with leash walking and is already learning to safely navigate a full flight of stairs. He’ll thrive with a family who understands that confidence grows with time, ongoing positive experience and easy reassurance.
He forms deep bonds with his favourite person (common for pups who start life in a puppy mill), though he’s already branching out and exploring on his own. When his foster mom leaves for work, even if someone else is home, he may howl intermittently and give an occasional bark for up to about 30 minutes before settling. Crates and ex-pens aren’t his thing, and he’ll bark or circle in them, so a home that doesn’t rely on crating is the best fit. Because he attaches so deeply, his new family can help him thrive by spreading the love early on. Having everyone take an active role in feeding, cuddling, and sleeping nearby will ensure he forms strong, equal connections with every single person in his new home.
Roo’s forever family: A calm, steady home with a friendly canine sibling or two where he can enjoy plenty of companionship, affection, and playtime. His ideal household includes someone who works from home or has a flexible schedule to keep him company. While he isn’t a persistent barker, he may vocalize when surprised by unexpected noises or unfamiliar visitors. He hasn’t been tested with children, and because quick, unpredictable movements would likely startle him, an adult-only home or one with older, dog-savvy kids will be the best match. Given his enthusiasm for chasing squirrels, a cat-free home is required.
Roo is ready to meet his forever family with an open heart and a wagging tail!
