Meet Roo! A spirited five-and-a-half-year-old American Pitbull Terrier mix currently in Waynesville, NC, whose affectionate personality comes wrapped in a beautiful black coat with charming white accents. At 45 pounds, this medium-sized girl is an enthusiastic playmate, devoted companion, and world-class snuggler who forms wonderfully close bonds once she feels comfortable. Roo may take a little time to warm up to new people, but patience is rewarded with abundant affection! She loves staying close to her favorite people, riding in the car, playing tug, and settling in for serious cuddle time. She has medium energy and enjoys regular walks, play sessions, and a consistent daily rhythm. She completed a seven-week basic obedience course and knows commands including sit, stay, leave it, lay down, and off! Positive reinforcement works beautifully for this clever girl, and continuing her training can be a rewarding way to strengthen your connection. Roo had a difficult start before she was found as a stray. A rope had become embedded in her neck, requiring surgical removal and leaving a large scar, and she later spent time in three shelters. While we cannot know how these experiences…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
