VERIFIED REAL by 2 Traveling Dogs | THIS IS…ME
This is a real dog. A real photo. A real story. Not an Al-generated dog or rescue story. Our new “This Is…Me” verification project exists because real rescue dogs deserve to be seen, believed and rescued. Every dog we verify has a real life behind the picture-and that life matters.
This is me…Roo. I very much want to go home. I don’t know where home is. But I know it will be great when I get there. I hope that I have a friend to share my days with. Friends mean everything to me. I like to talk to other dogs and talk about funny jokes. I may not look like I have a sense of humor, but just wait until you get to know me! I am ready for my person and a life of fun. If you need a reason to have fun, I’ll be that reason. Come and meet me and let’s get the best life going for us both!
Meet Roo! 🐾
Roo is waiting at Sacramento County Bradshaw Animal Shelter in Sacramento, California, and is looking for his person.
Roo — Animal ID #A927927
🐶 Tan & white Pit Bull Terrier mix
🎂 About 1 year old
⚖️ Approximately 38 lbs.
💙 Neutered male
📅 At the shelter since September 22, 2026
Roo has participated in shelter playgroups and may enjoy having a compatible canine friend in his new home. He’s even sharing his shelter suite with a friend he met there! If you already have a dog, the shelter encourages bringing your dog for a meet-and-greet to see if they could be a match.

ARE YOU A SHELTER OR RESCUE?
We want to hear from you. Shelters and rescue organizations can submit a real animal who needs more eyes on them for This Is…Me at rachael@2travelingdogs.com with the subject line THIS IS ME: [ANIMAL’S NAME]. Please include the animal’s name, photos or original post, location, shelter or rescue name, current adoption/contact information and, most importantly, something about who that animal really is beyond what is written on the kennel card. Tell us what makes them funny, special, ridiculous, loving or completely unforgettable. There is no charge to shelters or rescues to submit an animal. We’ll do our best to verify the information and help tell their story to our audience.
This is exactly why we created This Is…Me — Seen. Believed. Rescued. Somewhere in a shelter today is a real dog like Roo waiting for a real person to notice them. At a time when AI-generated animals, stolen photographs and recycled rescue stories can make it difficult to know what is real online, we want to help real shelter animals be seen, believed and given the chance to go home.
Every This Is…Me story takes time to research, verify, write and share. You can help us keep doing that by sponsoring a rescue dog for $35. You can choose the state, and your name, your dog’s name, your family or an In Memory Of name can be included with the dog’s story as the person who made it possible.

And if you cannot help financially, you can still do something incredibly important: share Roo. Share his story. Share his face. Help us put a real shelter dog in front of one more real person who might be the person she has been waiting for.
Roo is real. His story matters. And somewhere out there may be the family who needs to see him today.
THIS IS…ME.
Seen. Believed. Rescued.
