Notes from The Little Guild of St. Francis

This big goofy love bug really earns his name with that long tail and bouncy happy energy! Roo loves every person he meets and he’ll lean into you for lots of love and cuddles. He may be big but he’s just a silly puppy looking for a new best friend to play with. Despite having a hard life so far being found on the street very underweight and missing some fur he absolutely loves life and is always ready for new adventures! He can keep himself entertained with a soft toy for a while and he is so happy to go for walks and hikes with his people. After play time he would be happy to cuddle on the couch and watch some good TV too. If you’re looking for a goofy active addition to your home Roo would be thrilled to meet you!

APPROPRIATE PLACEMENT FOR 1ST TIME DOG OWNER?

FREE OBEDIENCE TRAINING IS OFFERED WITH ALL DOG ADOPTIONS

Please note that we are often asked if dogs are "house trained". The dogs are in fact living in a kennel environment during their time with us. Even if they have previously lived in a home and been trained - the stress of the change and the new home can sometimes cause regression and require some additional training. We feel that it's best for all adopters to be prepared for this possibility.
