✨ Meet Romeo, a delightful little bundle of joy! This incredibly sweet, snuggly, and loving guy is suspected to be a small Australian Cattle Dog mix, weighing in at about 30 pounds. There might also be some Jack Russell Terrier in his mix, thanks to his two charming brothers, Rusty and Russell, who were found alongside him. Can you imagine the mischief they must have stirred up together? 😄 Romeo’s heart is as big as his personality! 🥰 He’s been great with young children aged 3 to 6 and has shown a friendly disposition with other dogs. In fact, he’s so social that he enjoys chatting and playing with four outdoor rescue kitties through a fence—what a little diplomat! 🐾 This makes it likely that he would adapt wonderfully to a home with a resident kitty. And oh, the snuggles! When held in your arms, Romeo truly melts away into bliss. 🥹 He’s a quick learner and approaches training with joy, suggesting that this sweet boy would thrive in various environments—whether it’s a bustling family home, a loving space for older adults, or as a therapy/emotional support dog with the right preparation. Now, let’s talk about his backstory. Romeo is one of four adorable boys who were abandoned in a rural backyard, seemingly from a backyard breeding situation. Luckily, he and his brothers were rescued, neutered, and got a fresh lease on life in a loving foster home in Washington. How about that for a journey of hope? 🌟 While he may be mildly shy and sensitive at first—often giving you those puppy-dog eyes that say, "Am I doing this right? Am I a good boy?"—once he’s comfortable, he’s all joy and playfulness. When you approach him, he practically hops with excitement! 🥳 Romeo is crate trained and has been well-behaved while under supervision, though he hasn't been left unsupervised yet. And guess what? He’s never had a crate accident! 🚽 He communicates like a champ when it’s time to go outside, making him a delightful companion. Just a heads-up! Because this charming little guy can climb chain link and welded wire, it's best that his forever home has a solid wood or vinyl fence. He'd adapt well to an apartment too, as long as outside time is supervised—this fellow loves his outdoor adventures but needs a safe haven to be a happy boy. Romeo will be making his way to California for adoption around the middle of October! 🎉 Heartstrings ready, folks—this pup is ready for his forever home!
