Roo, 4-year old female Yellow Lab, 63 lbs, Spayed
Background: oo (short for "Kangaroo") needs to find a new home, as her owner is graduating from UC Davis and moving to a new home where she cannot have a dog.
What current owner says: Roo is the sweetest girl! You will notice right away she is very charming, playful, energetic, and silly. She loves meeting new people, and her tail will begin wagging immediately when approached by a person. She is a high energy girl and loves playtime, but she also enjoys cuddling and sleeping in bed, on the couch, or by your feet on the floor. Roo loves adventures, long car rides, and pup cups! She’s very smart and treat-motivated, and has learned many tricks such as “sit”, “down”, “shake”, “stay”, and “fetch.” And she would be very excited to learn more. She is fully potty trained (goes out twice a day), crate-trained, and okay to be at home by herself for 6-8 hours at a time.
Roo does have a high prey-drive and can be reactive towards other dogs, cats, and prey animals (i.e., squirrels, rodents, etc.). However, she is NOT aggressive and will just whine/bark/pull towards them. She does well via slow introductions with other dogs similar to her in size (60lbs) or larger, and would probably do best as the only pet in the household. Roo would benefit from continued training, and access to a yard where she can play freely, without worrying about the outside world.
What Rescue Rep Says What an outstanding dog! Roo would do best in an active home where she gets lots of exercise and solid human guidance. Not for an adopter with a small dog or cats.
Medical: One healthy dog. Current on vaccinations; heartworm negative, spayed, microchipped.
Located In: Davis
