About Romeo D

Lets make it official, apply to adopt! Romeo D is a truly unique companion with a blend of Husky, Australian Cattle Dog, and Terrier in his DNA, making him a one-of-a-kind friend. He’s at his best with adults or families with older children, as he can be wary of toddlers and young kids—he would thrive in a home with no children under 10. Romeo loves his daily walks, hikes, and lounging with his family, showing devotion and affection for his people. He’s energetic and enjoys training sessions, games of fetch, and cuddles, proving to be both playful and loving. Romeo is great with other dogs but prefers to be the only dog in the home; he tries to chase cats and would not do well living with them. Romeo responds well to structure and routine; he is house trained, crate trained at night, rides calmly in the car, and his friendly, wiggly personality quickly endears him to everyone he meets. He bonds strongly and will try to follow his humans anywhere—he’s even been known to scale fences if left alone, so a secure indoor environment is essential. Romeo is up to date on all vaccinations and is neutered. He needs continued training, as he is still perfecting his walking skills and can be clumsy due to his youthful exuberance. Romeo has experienced a lot of change, being rescued from a difficult situation and adjusting to a new life filled with love and care. He’s ready for a committed adult or active older-kid household who can provide consistent exercise, healthy meals, and all the TLC he deserves. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
