My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Attention Active Dog Lovers, Boxer and Ridgeback Enthusiasts! Meet Groot!

Current Location: Rockdale, TX

Hey there! I’m Groot, a 3-year-old Boxer/Ridgeback blend with a heart of gold and a comedic personality.
From California to Texas, my journey has brought me to a sunny sanctuary in Texas where I've been living my best life, running free and making friends. But now, I’m on the lookout for a forever home.

Although I'm currently in Texas, I'm ready to take my comedy on the road for the right family!

What Makes Me Special
I’m Affectionate: my cuddles are the cure for any bad day.
I’m Adventurous: Whether it’s a game of fetch or a jog in the park, I’m always ready to move!
I’m Friendly: Other dogs? Bring them on! My heart's big enough for everyone.
I’m Funny: Need a laugh? My playful nature and silly antics will keep you entertained.
I’m Smart: I’m house-trained and eager to learn—I’ve got the brains and the brawn.
I’m Curious: The world is my playground, and I’m excited to explore it with you.

Check out my Bucket List
Hiking: I've heard about these amazing trails, and I can't wait to explore them!
Beach Day: Splashing in the water and playing fetch on the sandy shores sounds like a blast.
Dog Parks: I've heard dog parks are the best places to make new friends and show off my playful side.
Jogging: Count me in—I'm ready to let my athleticism shine.
Camping: I can't wait to go camping and explore the great outdoors. My curiosity and love for adventure make me the perfect camping buddy.

Furever Home: Last but not least…
I’m ready for a family with kids over 14, as my energy might be too much for the little ones.
Adopt me and I’ll fill your home with laughter, love, and a whole lot of tail wags.

Additional adoption info

The first step in our adoption process is for the prospective adopter to complete our Adoption Application Questionnaire which helps us best match you with the the dog that would be most suited to your home environment and expectations.

Our adoption application can be downloaded from our website www.savethedals.org

If you are having difficulty accessing the adoption application, email us at info@savethedals.org

If based on the Application Questionnaire we think one of our dogs is a good match to your home environment and expectations, we will follow up with a phone call, advise you of the adoption fee, schedule a home visit if applicable, and arrange a meet and greet with the dog. Adopters are also required to sign our Adoption Contract, you will be provided a copy of the contract for you to review and ask questions before you adopt the dog.

Note that we often have multiple applicants wanting to adopt the same dog. Our selection process is not based on whose application we receive first. It is based on who we believe will be the best match for the dog, allowing for the greatest success of a high quality, loving forever home, with the least likelihood of the dog needing to be returned to rescue.

We commit to the life of each dog we rescue, such that at any point in the life of the dog if its adopter is no longer able to keep the dog, the adopter signs our adoption contract agreeing that they will return the dog to Save The Dalmatians and Others Canine Rescue. The dog is not to be turned into an animal shelter.

More about this rescue

Who we are: Save the Dalmatians and Others Canine Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to the rescue of Dalmatians from shelters, the promotion of adoptions of shelter Dalmatians and education of the public about the Dalmatian breed. We began in 1996 when founder Terri Haase and a friend started taking their Dalmatians to movie theaters during the showing of "101 Dalmatians" to distribute educational flyers in an attempt to stop impulse buying of Dalmatian puppies. Save the Dalmatians was formally incorporated as a California non-profit corporation in 1998. Our brochure provides more detail.

Further documentation on our 501(c)3 status may be requested by writing to Save the Dalmatians, 15507 S. Normandie Avenue #432, Gardena, CA 90247.

What we do: Save the Dalmatians and Others Canine Rescue specializes in rescuing Dalmatians, Dalmatian mixes and other breeds from shelters and finding new permanent homes for them.

We also provide placement support to others fostering rescued Dalmatians and to Dalmatian owners who wish to rehome their own Dalmatians.

Another very important function of our organization is public education about the Dalmatian breed. We disseminate information via mail, email, telephone and at adoption events. We also work with newspapers, radio and television to have information about Dalmatians published or broadcast.

Save the Dalmatians and Others Canine Rescue is an affiliate of the Dalmatian Assistance League. We are all unpaid volunteers.
