Meet Rome, the delightful 8-year-old Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix whose heart is as big as his personality! 🐾 A true gentle giant, he’s been a loving companion since he was just a tiny pup, embarking on quite the journey from Ohio to North Carolina! Through all the transitions, Rome has shown remarkable adaptability, proving that with love, any situation can feel like home. ❤ He’s spent his days surrounded by a female Pit bull, two cats, and even three ducks. Yes, ducks! 🦆 They were like his little feathered buddies! You can just picture him, head tilted, peering into their cozy igloo homes during chilly winters, ensuring they were safe and sound. How sweet is that? Rome is playful and absolutely loves fetch—whether it's a squeaky pig or a basketball! 🎾 His favorite game involves a bit of negotiation; just let him know when it’s time to ‘out’ the toy, and he’ll eagerly relinquish it (maybe just for a moment!). He enjoys his own comfy bed but prefers snoozing alongside the humans he loves. Just so you know, he’s got a little fear of fireworks and thunderstorms—so expect him to want to cuddle during those dramatic moments. 😌🌩️ This brilliant pup knows quite a few commands, like ‘sit,’ ‘speak,’ and he can even show off his paws like a pro! Just toss him a treat, and he’ll happily catch it mid-air like a little acrobat. 🍪 When it’s potty time, he’s got that covered too—just listen for his polite little whine at the door. Rome enjoys long hours outdoors in the fenced backyard, but watch out for those sneaky squirrels! 🐿️ He may be 90 pounds of love, but he still thinks he’s a lap dog! However, Rome does have some conditions. He prefers to be the one and only dog in the household, and it’s important for potential adopters to know he doesn’t play nicely with unneutered males or horses. He adores children aged 7 and up, and his ideal forever home needs a fenced yard for him to explore and trees to provide some cool shade. 🌳 Additionally, he’s managed to have a bit of an injured foot—that’s on the mend—but he’s a champion at keeping his spirits high! Rome is current with all his vaccinations and heartworm medication. He loves rides in the car (especially with the window down! 🚗) and always seeks attention, barking sweetly for pets from anyone who pops by. Just be mindful of that vacuum—trust him, it’s not his favorite! 😅 Don’t miss out on the chance to bring this charming fellow into your life! **So, if you’re ready to provide Rome with a loving home, you simply must apply to adopt him through the Buddy App!** 🐶💖
