Hi … my name is Roo! Read my bio to find out everything you need to know about me. 
If you think I might be the perfect pup for you, go to www.allamericanmuttrescue.org/forms and complete the adoption application online.

Check out this handsome pom-chi (Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix) boy!  Roo has lived his life as a ‘Family Pet/Puppy Daddy’ being loved and used to produce litters of cuties, just like himself.  Well, cute as he is, his Daddy days are done and now he is ready to find a loving forever family who will just love him for the sweetheart he is.  Now understand, he is wary around new people until he figures out if he can trust you or not, but once he does, he is a sweetheart.  He needs someone who understands this and who will protect him from stressful situations where he could get into trouble.  He is so easy to love, he just needs a little time and patience.

Approximate age/birthdate:  June 1 2014

Weight/size:  12 pounds

Housebroken:  YES as long as you do your part and take him out often. 

Crate trained:  YES

Personality:  sweet, cautious of new people, defensive around larger dogs, devoted once he trusts you

Energy level:  medium

Fenced yard required?:  Absolutely preferred because he enjoys having a safe place to be outside and explore.  He can NEVER be off-leash in an unfenced area as he still depends on you to keep him safe.  Right now you can’t depend on him to come when called if he is distracted or scared.

Does he/she jump fences?  NO

Leash walk with manners:  Working on it.  He does better when wearing a harness rather than just a collar.  The harness is also a safer choice and protects his trachea from excessive pressure.

Obedience training:  NO

Riding in vehicles:  RIDES OK     

Spayed/neutered:   YES

Up-to-date on routine vaccinations:   YES

Microchipped:   YES

Social with other dogs:  He has always been around other dogs his size, but he can be defensive with larger dogs, and his attitude with them could get him in trouble.  He would love to be an only pet or have a friend closer to his size.

Social with cats: NO CATS

Good with children:  Toy breed dogs are NOT toys and respectful, calm children ages 10 and up are generally a better fit for them.  Too much noise and activity in his world will be a stressor for him and could result in unacceptable behavior.

Adoption donation:  $175

We are an all-volunteer group, so please be patient and understand that it takes an average of 7-14 days to process the applications including reference checks, follow-up questions and home visits.  You can expedite the process by providing accurate email addresses for all your references.  Time to make phone calls is limited and we often have multiple applications in process.  We make every effort to move through them as quickly as possible.

When your application is approved, we will schedule a home visit/meet-and-greet to see if Roo picks you too.

If it seems that the adoption will be a good match for all, there is an adoption fee, and an adoption contract to be signed.
