Roo! is leaping up to accept a gold medal at the Westminster dog show!

Roo! (the exclamation mark is part of her name) was the first mutt to win any category at the Westminster dog show. Her owner hopes that the fact that Roo! won will prompt people to adopt shelter dogs instead of getting a dog from a breeder. When the shelter first got her in, they though she was a bad dog. At first, a man adopted her and returned her back to the shelter. Roo!'s owner works at the shelter. Then her owner saw her chance, and adopted her. She thought that maybe she would like to compete in agility.  She was right. Roo! loves it and couldn't be more happy in her forever home.
