Roo

My story

We gave this little boy the name of Roo because he's got long legs like a kangaroo!  Roo was found as a stray.  He was searching for food when a lady passed by in her car and noticed him.  She stopped her car and opened the door, and Roo jumped right in.  A foster was found and we were asked to take him into our rescue. Roo is malnourished from his time wandering alone so he'll need to gain a few pounds - but he'll still be a smaller sized dog even once he's at a healthy weight.  He weighed 28 pounds when he went to the vet on 7/29.  He also has a scab around his neck as it appears that he once had a collar that was never adjusted so it started to embed into his skin - this should eventually go away now that the collar is off.  In general his coat doesn't look that great right now, but it will start looking healthier now that he is in foster care and will receive proper nutrition. Despite this tough past, Roo is a super friendly boy - both with humans and with other dogs.  He received his vaccinations at the vet and he is heartworm negative.  He'll be neutered soon.  Roo is currently with a foster in TX but will come to the NJ area when adopted. Personality: friendly, a little shy at first Good with: people of all ages (including kids), and dogs.  Has not been cat tested yet. Training: leash trained Estimated date of birth: 7/30/23 Weight: 28 pounds (as of 6/29) but he needs to gain a little bit of weight back Medical: vetted, up to date on vaccinations, will be neutered, microchipped Location: Currently located with a foster in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area on our next transport.  &#226&#128&#139If you have any questions please email: friendsforlifeanimalrescue@gmail.com To apply to adopt: https://form.jotform.com/210286667669167 We always need fosters, please join us!  https://form.jotform.com/210257395409155 Many other dogs need our help, please consider donating or sponsoring a dog, if possible. 100% of all money received from adoption fees and donations goes directly back to support saving other dogs and cats in need.  FFLAR is a 501c(3) non-profit.   We appreciate your support!
