Rook

Meet Rook, the distinguished gentleman who proves age is just a number… a very stylish number. At 12 years young and a perfectly portable 13 pounds, this miniature poodle mix has mastered the art of senior living: equal parts prance, play, and premium-level cuddles.<br/><br/>Rook arrived in rescue with his brother Rutter, and it’s clear he’s spent a lifetime perfecting his social skills. He’s sweet, friendly, and deeply invested in whatever you’re doing—as long as he can supervise from nearby. Laundry? Fascinating. Cooking? Riveting. Sitting down? Excellent, because that’s his cue to snuggle.<br/><br/>His idea of exercise is a jaunty little prance that somehow manages to be both dignified and ridiculous, topped off with his signature smile that could easily convince you to hand over an extra treat. Rook doesn’t need constant action; he just wants quality time and a cozy spot where he can be your loyal shadow.<br/><br/>Rook is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and has passed his 4DX test with flying colors—no heartworm, no tick disease, and no plans of slowing down anytime soon. If you’re looking for a silly, loving senior who knows how to enjoy the good stuff in life, Rook is ready to castle his way right into your heart.<br/><br/>Want to meet him? Please fill out our application at azhartt.org/adopt<br/><br/>Requirements include meeting everyone in the household, dog intros (if applicable), and a home check.<br/><br/>Adoption applications are approved on a best-fit basis.<br/><br/>We do not do out-of-state adoptions.<br/><br/>Adoption Fee: $200
