About Rome
Rome is a five-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer in Coarsegold, CA who comes built for action, not for sitting still. Athletic and driven, Rome has spent too much time crated and not enough time living the kind of life his breed needsāoutdoors, moving, using his brain and body for purposeful activity. Heās about 75 pounds, neutered, and up to date on most vaccines, but he'll need his rabies shot brought current. Rome is overflowing with energy. Heās been confined too much and craves the freedom to run, swim, and really stretch his legs. He loves water. He wants a family with property or someone who commits every day to meaningful exercise and engagement. Heās never far from his working rootsāwith a high prey drive and rough play style, heāll need someone who understands dogs like him and can channel that drive into positive outlets. He does well with other dogs, plays rough, and typically gets along with cats. Because heās big and energetic, he's better with older kids (little ones might get bowled over). He knows how to sit, is house and leash trained, and tolerates his crate, but too much time alone or confined isnāt right for him. Rome has a tendency to eat socks, so if you have kids or a house prone to clutter, keep an eye out. Rome isn't suited for apartment life or a sedentary home. He wants space, structure, and a confident handler familiar with working, high-drive breeds. Provide those, and youāll have a fiercely loyal, brilliant companion. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
