About Roman

Roman is happiest when hanging out with people who appreciate his loyalty and gentle nature. He gets along well with other dogs and fits right in with children, making him a solid pick for a family. He’s house trained, up to date on vaccinations, and neutered, so the basics are covered. Born in early March, Roman falls under the Pisces star sign.
