Rootie is a handsome, very tall gentleman looking for a family to love him forever. He is a 3-year-old, 72lb, large mixed breed with a personality as big as his stature! He's a dog who looks like he should have his own parking space and maybe a LinkedIn profile. We're not totally sure what his mix is, but our best guess is part majestic goofball, with a possible splash of professional athlete who forgot he is not a lap dog. Believe it or not, it works for him! Rootie is big, fun, friendly, and full of life. He has been in a foster home with cats, kids, and other dogs, so he has already had some experience being part of a real home and all the chaos that comes with it. Rootie loves to play ball and has an absolute blast in playgroups. He is the kind of dog who shows up ready for recess, gym class, and the after party. He would do great in an active home that wants a dog who is up for adventures, yard time, fetch sessions, and being admired by strangers who will definitely say, "Wow, he's gorgeous!" Rootie is sweet, social, playful, and ridiculously good looking. He's looking for a family who appreciates a big dog with an even bigger personality and maybe has room on the couch, because Rootie seems like the type who may believe furniture is simply shared seating for very handsome dogs.
