About Rootie

Rootie is an 8-year-old Labrador Retriever mix who is looking for a patient and loving foster or forever home. He was sadly abandoned in the desert and rescued by animal control, which has left him a bit shy and timid. Rootie needs a home where he can feel safe and gradually learn to trust again. He can be a little protective in new surroundings, but with time and understanding, he's sure to blossom. Rootie weighs about 60 lbs and is already neutered and vaccinated.
