Roo

About Roo

* Currently living in a home * Toilet trained * Comfortably climbs stairs * Good with alone time Harooooo! Roo here! I'm a handsome, affectionate black boy with a big heart, a zest for life and a rather impressive enthusiasm for just about everything. Especially my people. And food. Did I mention food? In fact, food would have to be right up there at the top of my list of favourite things. I'm not fussy, but if we're talking occasional bonus treats, cheese is LIFE. Amirite? Walkies come a very close second. I'm always up for an adventure, whether it's exploring a new bush trail, jumping in the car for a road trip or checking out a dog-friendly café. Wherever my humans are going, I'd very much like to come along. I'm a great travel buddy, too, happily getting in and out of the car all by myself. I might take a little time to settle initially, though. There are just SO many interesting things to look at out the window! I'm a good walker on lead, without pulling or reactivity. I do get rather excited when I see other dogs because, naturally, I assume everyone wants to play! Sometimes that enthusiasm can translate into an attempted jump, but I'm making lovely progress learning to ignore other dogs while out and about. I can feel a little anxious in busier public environments, so quieter outings are currently more my speed. At home, I'm a pretty good boy. I'm fully toilet trained, sleep soundly through the night (with no sleep-startle observed) and manage stairs like a pro, including up to three flights. I've also worked really hard on being home alone. I initially found this a little challenging, with some whining, pacing and door scratching, but I've made significant progress and can now comfortably manage up to seven hours. Go me! When I'm not out exploring, you'll find me enjoying my toys, indulging in morning zoomies, chasing the occasional lizard or soaking up the sunshine. Honestly, is there anything better than glorious sunshine on a Roo belly? I do prefer to have my own space when resting, so I'm not one for surprise pats during nap time, but I absolutely love having my people nearby. And just in case all that handsome charm and adventurous spirit isn't enough, I CAN SIT! I also know DROP. Clever AND good-looking? I really am quite the package. I'd be happy living with children over five, provided they're kind, understand the importance of giving me space and can let me settle into home life at my own pace. So, if you're after an affectionate, fun-loving adventure buddy who'll happily join you for bushwalks, café dates, road trips and the occasional cheese tax, I could be just the Roo you've been looking for! Get in touch with the lovely peeps at GR to arrange a meeting. I'd love to meet you! Good with children aged 5 and over.
