Roma is a playful and affectionate medium-sized dog with a real love for food—her name comes from her fondness for tomatoes. She thrives on tug-of-war, long walks or runs, and curling up for belly rubs after she’s thoroughly worn herself out. Roma has made big strides in her foster home; she’s fully house-trained and checks in with her people when it’s time to go outside. While she can still be tempted by food left on counters, her manners keep improving as training continues. This clever dog knows how to read other dogs’ cues and gives them space, but sometimes she’s not fully aware of her own size around people. For that reason, Roma would do best in a home without small children or babies. She’s becoming much more social and now enjoys meeting new people, though she’s still a bit wary with strangers—especially men—and settles in best with slow introductions. Roma is highly food motivated, genuinely sweet, and an enthusiastic cuddler. She basically has two speeds: full energy or totally relaxed. A fenced yard is essential because Roma isn’t quite ready for off-leash adventures just yet. Roma responds well to structure, patience, and ongoing guidance. With consistent support, she’s sure to make a wonderful companion. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
