My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Your friend for every day! My name is Rootie, and I'm a happy, social 2 year old pup with stunning blue eyes and ears that go on for days. I'm a nice medium-sized dog who would be happy to accompany you on all your adventures. I'm energetic and would enjoy playtime in the back yard, training time and a weekend woodland trek. I'm smart, do a perfect sit on cue and would love to learn new things. I can be very playful and really enjoy a good game of fetch. And I not only chase the ball, but I happily return it to you and wait for the next throw! I like playtime with other pups and may enjoy a canine friend. I also enjoy some quality cuddle time with my favorite people. I am going to make a great couch buddy as you settle in to watch your favorite television shows. So if you are looking for a dog who is both active and affectionate, we may just be a match. Let's meet and find out!
