About Romeo And Juliet

Click apply to start the adoption process. Romeo and Juliet's journey began when they were found roaming the streets together in December 2022. Thanks to a watchful neighbor, they were both safely brought in, but no microchip or owners could be found. After weeks of searching, they received full vet checks, vaccinations, and scheduled appointments for spay and neuter. In an unexpected Christmas twist, Juliet welcomed three puppies—two girls and a boy—without any signs of her pregnancy beforehand. This sweet family settled into their foster home, quickly seeking warmth and rest, snuggling through their first night indoors. Today, with all but one puppy rehomed, Mom and Dad remain loyal companions to each other and are seeking a forever home where they can stay together. Their bond is undeniable, and they thrive best as a pair. Give this loving duo a place to call home and watch their remarkable connection blossom. Ready to fall in love?
