Hi, I'm
Groot
Shepherd (Unknown Type)
My story
This dog is fostered in the Hamilton areaGroot is a happy, affectionate, and energetic guy who loves being right in the middle of the action! Whether he’s playing fetch, entertaining himself with his favourite toys, enjoying a tasty treat, or soaking up attention from his people, Groot is always looking for something fun to do. He’s incredibly social and loves everyone he meets, greeting new friends with a wagging tail, plenty of enthusiasm, and usually a few kisses!Groot also absolutely loves other dogs and would benefit from having a playful canine companion. He’s a smart, food-motivated boy who is already showing off his intelligence — he’s even learned to let his people know when he needs to go outside!This guy has plenty of energy and will need an active family committed to regular exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation. He’s still working on keeping all four paws on the ground when excitement takes over and could use some continued leash training.Groot would love a home with a large, fenced yard, an active family, and children aged 7+ who want a fun-loving companion to play with. He’s affectionate, entertaining, and full of personality, and his adorable ears are just an added bonus — especially if you happen to enjoy giving them a good rub!Like all puppies, Groot will benefit from continued training, socialization, and structure as he grows.Name: Groot (Bart)Breed: Mixed breed.
