My story

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

Roo Roo is the sweetest guy ever. He came from the streets of Mexico. Please read his whole bio as he does have a disability. Roo was born without front legs. This is a deformity from birth. That doesn't stop him from being a very social boy and getting around. He is 8.6 lbs. You have to be careful with food, so he does not get overweight.

He will walk like a human on two legs, but he cannot go for very long and then he will lay his cheek to the floor to rest or slide himself along. He is getting a wheelchair made and will have that before adoption. He needs to be carried outside and brought back in.

Things to consider with Roo. Big dogs are scary for him. He does well with small dogs. He cannot go downstairs, and you have to be careful with stairs. He can go up a couple but that takes a lot out of him and is risky. You have to be careful, so he doesn't fall downstairs.

Roo does sleep in bed with his mom. He has to be carried on and off the bed, outside and inside. He probably would love a stroller. He does like to go places with his mom. He is house broken, and kennel trained.

He is not a fan of dogs coming and going in the foster home, especially unneutered males. So, he would love a consistent life. Otherwise, his foster mom would have adopted him in a heartbeat. He is wonderful.

More about this rescue

Camp Companion is a 501c3 organization established in 2003.

Based in Rochester MN, the organization is totally driven by volunteers.

Camp Companion is dedicated to providing low-cost spay and neuter services for feral, farm and stray companion animals. The organization is funded solely by donations, fundraisers, grants, and adoption fees. All funds we receive are used for veterinary expenses and the cost of care incurred for the animals waiting for their forever homes.

Through our spay / neuter efforts, we encounter kittens and stray domestic cats that need rescue services and a forever home. We have no shelter, but rely on foster homes to care for these rescued pets. Every animal we offer for adoption is spayed or neutered.
