Groot

Groot is a 10-month-old Chihuahua/Pug mix who loves being close to his people. At 21 pounds, he's happy cuddling in your arms, going for a walk, or playing with dog friends. His curly little tail wiggles in the funniest way whenever he gets excited, it’s guaranteed to make you smile! Groot is mostly house-trained with the occasional accident, and is currently working on crate training. He may cry for a short time when settling in, but he’s getting better every day. He does well with other dogs and enjoys playtime, but he does not have experience with cats or with children. A proper introduction is recommended.He could go on walks all day or he could just got a few throughout the day, making him a great companion for someone who wants a dog that can be active but also relax together at home.Groot can be a bit vocal when left alone for the first 30 minutes, so he will require a home without shared walls (no apartments/townhomes) and with people who can spend plenty of time with him. If you’re looking for a sweet, lively companion with lots of love (and tail wiggles) to give, Groot might be your perfect match!
