We gave this little boy the name of Roo because he's got long legs like a kangaroo!  Roo was found as a stray.  He was searching for food when a lady passed by in her car and noticed him.  She stopped her car and opened the door, and Roo jumped right in.  A foster was found and we were asked to take him into our rescue.

Roo was malnourished from his time wandering alone so he'll need to gain a few pounds - but he'll still be a smaller sized dog even once he's at a healthy weight.  He currently weighs 29.8 pounds.  He had a scab around his neck as it appears that he once had a collar that was never adjusted so it started to embed into his skin.  In general his coat didn't look that great and he was in a bad condition.  But now, thanks to his amazing fosters he is doing really well, he's gaining weight, his neck scab is healed, and he can start dreaming of his new family.

Despite this tough past, Roo is a super friendly boy - both with humans and with other dogs.  He received his vaccinations at the vet, was neutered, and is heartworm negative.  He loves to go on car rides and watching out of the window.  Roo is currently with a foster in TX but will come to the NJ area when adopted.

• Training: leash trained, very good in car, sleeps through night, uses crate, house trained, working on "sit" - with his love of food/treats and him being a smart boy he'll catch onto all of his training quickly
