Rooney's Story

Hi, I'm Rooney, the ultimate cuddle buddy! I'm a young pup who is as affectionate as they come, with a sweet and gentle nature that will warm your heart. My foster mom says I'm SO sweet, a little nervous at first, but warms up quickly. I'm the perfect lap dog (weighing in at only 8 pounds), happy to snuggle up and keep you company for hours. With my loving and mild-mannered personality, I'll fit right into your life. I'm a low-maintenance kind of guy who just wants to give and receive all the love and care your heart can offer. I'm still young and have a lot of love to give, so if you're looking for a loyal companion to nurture and cherish, I'm your boy. I would do great in a home with another dog. I've almost got the house-training thing down, but I appreciate your patience and encouragement as I get the hang of it. I would love to meet you and open your heart to the possibility of a wonderful friendship!<br/><br/>** To adopt Rooney, apply on our website: www.strongpawsrescue.org **
