Groot is a tan and white terrier. He has short little legs, a longer body, cute pointy ears, and a tiny face.

Groot likes to rub against your legs like a cat, and he loves scratches behind his ears. He is not very high energy. Although Groot is wary of some dogs, he likes some others, but generally does not want to play with them. Groot is initially a little nervous around people, but he warms up fast! He likes older, calm children and is good with adults of all ages. Groot walks well on a leash.

IAR subsidizes post-adoption professional training with Jane Marshall (www.cheerydogs.com) to encourage a life-long and successful bond between the dog and the adopter. Group classes for puppies and adult dogs are provided at a substantial discount to IAR adopters.
