Groot - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Marshalltown, Iowa

Meet Groot

Groot is an approximately 1-2-year-old Pitty mix with a wiggly body, happy heart, and a serious love for toy balls.

This sweet boy is active, affectionate, and full of life. He loves people, loves to play, and is happiest when he has a ball to chase, carry, or proudly show off.

Groot is showing good signs of being potty trained and has a nice start on basic obedience. He is very food and treat motivated, which will help with continued training. He could use some leash work, as he does pull a little, but he is eager, manageable, and ready to learn.

Groot is currently a bit underweight and working on gaining healthy weight. Even so, he remains a bright, loving, happy boy with so much potential.

Groot's ideal adopter will enjoy an active, playful dog and be ready to give him structure, training, and plenty of love. His adoption fee includes vaccines, neuter, microchip, and health testing.
