Meet 2402-0375 Rover
PUPPY ANYONE? Meet ROVER! A 6 month old, 50 lb. puppy! ROVER’s good looks make him a ‘showstopper’! Let me tell you about a recent outing that ROVER had with a favorite volunteer to a pickleball tournament! No, he didn’t play but he was an active watcher. Here’s how it went: ROVER sat quietly and calmly on the car ride. The environment was very busy with lots of people (and loud). ROVER was shy at first, but as time went on, he became more comfortable and began to approach people. He met people of all ages, including young children, and did very well. He was great on leash and was very well mannered. He was patient/polite and would sit or lay down while the volunteer watched the games and talked to others. He was really well behaved; he laid quietly and ate his bone. Another plus – ROVER came in with another dog and is currently housed with that dog (LEO). He’s said to be good with other dogs and older kids (older mainly because of his shyness). ROVER is very sweet and affectionate. He needs a minute to warm up to you and then after that, he’s all in. So if you’re looking for a buddy to go to events with and hang out with, come meet ROVER!
