Rooney

Meet Rooney the love bug pug (mix). Rooney is 8 months old and appears to be a pug mix. He currently weighs 16# and we don’t think he will get much bigger. He is the perfect blend of moderate playful energy and cuddle bug. Who can resist his adorable underbite?!? Rooney likes to play, but really really loves to cuddle with his people. He wants ear scratches and to snuggle in close and give kisses. Rooney loves kids, but can be a little skittish of new noises and fast movements. He is also still a jumpy puppy, so older kids would likely be better for him. Rooney enjoys playing with his foster’s dog. He also nestles up with her for a nap. He would really prefer a playmate his size in his forever home. He is still learning what toys are, definitely likes to chew on them. Watch your shoes and laundry as he is still learning the difference! Rooney is tolerant of his crate. He whines a little bit and then settles in for a snooze. He is making a lot of progress on house training. He is doing better on leash walking and does it perfectly if he is side by side with his foster sister. Rooney’s fosters are working on basic obedience and he has mastered sit. Like all puppies he would benefit from positive reinforcement training and socialization. Rooney will be neutered this week. He is current on vaccines and prevention. He is also microchipped. His adoption fee is $300. To meet this adorable guy, please submit an application at www.k9kindnessrescue.org/adopt.
