In the shelter’s words

Roo is a 2–3 year old Blue Merle Great Dane adult who weighs 85 pounds and was found abandoned by a well-known lake in Tennessee. Someone rescued her from this terrible fate of no food or clean water and no place to be as she was wandering around the lake area very skinny and starved. She was so grateful when someone took her home. She then had different people foster her only for a few days at a time until this wonderful family saw her plight and need and said.....let us take her and foster her with a good rescue group. Now this big girl named Roo has some stability in her life and has earned the nickname “Velcro dog.” Of course this lost and abandoned girl who was deserted by a lake and then bounced a few times, wants to be right by your side and soak up every ounce of love and attention you’re willing to give her. She will learn one day that noone is ever going to abandon her again. This athletic girl has plenty of energy, loves to play with a happy spirit and and is an impressive olympic class jumper. She will thrive best in an active home. Food definitely motivates her and this makes it super easy to train her and get her undivided attention. Roo is house-trained, crate-trained, cat-friendly, and absolutely loves to snuggle in the bed with her humans. Roo bonds quickly and becomes very protective of her people so we will have tips on how to temper that zealous enthusiasm to claim you. She needs a family where she can be the queen of the castle and receive endless love and attention in return. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will stick by you through everything, Roo is your girl! Please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested. She is currently fostered in Tennessee and can be adopted locally and also can transport to a loving family that is northeast of Tennessee. We transport almost weekly on the weekends. ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED. Contact ccrtennessee@gmail.com.
