Roo Cattle Dog & German Shepherd Dog Mix Minneapolis, MN

Mr. Roo Roo is a year old handsome fella weighing 45 lb and is the perfect combination of love and energy. This bundle of joy adores playtime and belly rubs and will happily join you for time on the couch after some daytime playtime.

Roo is incredibly behaved. He is very well house-trained and loves his crate, it's his cozy little den. This sweet boy gets along famously with other dogs and would thrive in a home with a furry companion to romp around with or an active family, even better if he managed to find both.

While Mr. Roo Roo isn't quite sure about cats, he's ready to charm his way into the hearts of his forever family and canine friends. He's got a playful spirit and a heart of gold, making him the perfect companion. Although Roo would love some kids to call family, it is important to note that like many cattle dogs, he can be a bit nippy if someone handles him in a way he's not expecting (e.g., being grabbed by the tail or having a bone grabbed from him), so he'd do best in a home with kids old enough to be mindful of his space and interactions.

Roo would do best in a home with another playful dog to help manage his energy, but if he needs to be the only canine companion, he'd adjust well to a home with a fenced yard, as long as his family ensures he gets his exercise and mental stimulation he needs to thrive. This boy needs more than daily walks to be the happiest and best version of himself he can't wait to show off for you.

With his striking black and tan coat and adorable speckles, Mr. Roo Roo is used to attention but is a loyal pup that is ready to find his family to join in their adventures, could that be you? To learn more, apply with the information outlined below.
