About Romeo

Your new best friend is just one click away. Romeo is not just dreamy to look at, he truly has a lovely heart. This charming boy is happiest when curled up for a cozy cuddle and is ready to share relaxing moments with you. He enjoys gentle strolls around the yard or house, preferring a laid-back day to high-energy play, though he may be tempted by some fun training games as long as treats are involved. Romeo has shown signs of being house trained, making him an even more delightful companion. He has done well with a similar-sized female dog at the shelter, so he may enjoy the company of a calm, compatible friend, but he isn't a good fit for homes with smaller dogs. With his beautiful tricolor coat and medium build, Romeo is sure to steal your heart. Born in early February, he's an Aquarius—known for their loving and gentle nature. Give Romeo the second chance he deserves and brighten both your days. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
