• “Groot is a nervous Nancy (he keeps his distance, barks, and hides) until he knows you’re a safe person or dog. It does take time to get his trust for belly rubs or to be held without him wiggling free. He will run for a few minutes but prefers sunbathing and laying next to Chris & I. He is a very sweet and kind boy that wouldn’t hurt a fly (okay he may eat a fly but you know what I mean). Groot is allergic to the world so we are trying to find a place for his to run and relax that the grass isn’t going to completely ruin his day. ***He is also as of recently allergic to the Leptospirosis vaccines, his face blew up like a balloon 12hrs after the fact (rarer timeframe reaction)***“

  — Katie M.

  — Cassandra M.

  — Kim E.

• “I love to explore, but my attention to be outside is short. I like to go outside and see the sun and sometimes you'll find me rolling in the grass to scratch.“

  — Veronica D.

• “My name is group I am nine years old. I’m a lazy spoiled dog, but I like to play around with my brothers and sisters in the backyard.“
