Available to Adopt!
My name is Groot, and I'm tall, dark, and handsome. Once you look into my deep brown eyes, you'll fall in love with me and my big, blocky head!
I was found underweight and with an injured back leg in another state. A kind lady helped me get the care I needed and reached out to MLRR for further assistance. Now, I'm at a much healthier weight, and my knee cap has been fixed! Thank you MLRR foster homes, volunteers and donors!
I really like people. My foster home has older kids, and I love playing with them. At night, I even get to bunk with one of them - no crate needed! I've been around younger children too, but since I'm solid and on the tall side, I think I'd do best in a home with kids over the age of 8. I don't want to accidently knock a little one over, ever. I get along well with other dogs at my foster homes and would be happy to have some friends in my new home, as long as they're about my size.
I don't mind going in my crate, but don't need it. I don't have accidents and I don't chew your stuff either. So I'm hoping to gain your trust quickly so I can roam free. The good news is I am a true gentleman. I sit to say please and love to give you my paw even if it interacts with your kindle or ipad:) I bark at appropriate times. I LOVE food and treats, but I don't counter surf. I also don't fight over treats with the other dogs. I will sit and stay before you put my slow-feeding bowl down.
My favorite thing in the world are balls. I love to fetch them and then disintegrate them - so fun for me! But if the other resident dog gets the ball first, I do not fight for it back. Please have lots of old tennis balls for us to play with every day. I'm chill on car rides, but on a leash, I will pull for bunnies and ducks, so please have treats ready to keep my attention. After some activity I settle down right away and can rest for nice stretches.
Please come visit me so I can meet you, and you can see for yourself what an awesome boy I am!
