Meet Groot! This ball of personality is on the hunt for his people! He loves to go for walks and explore, but he can pull very hard on his leash at times, so someone who is able to manage his strength and help work with him on his leash manners is a must! He loves people and loves to play with them, but he may start jumping, which could be intimidating to small children or children not used to being around such big dogs. He can be quite goofy with his zoomies and is sure to put a smile on your face, but he loves to lay around and be lazy as much as he loves to play. He has potential to live with another dog, but a meet and greet will be required to make sure that him and his new friend get along. We know that with a bit of training, treats and lots of love, this man is going to make the most perfect addition to his family. If you’re interested in meeting Groot, stop by the shelter today!
