Romeo is a striking Black Mouth Cur with a loyal and protective streak. At six-and-a-half years old, he brings energy and devotion to any household, weighing in at about 74 lbs based on prior records. Romeo thrives on long walks and hikes, sticking close to his person—he’ll be that faithful companion ready for action and adventure. He needs a calm environment, away from congestion, where he can relax and focus on his people. Romeo is known for being an excellent guard dog, often protective with strangers. He requires a confident, experienced adopter who understands strong-willed breeds. His prey drive means he’s not suited for homes with cats or small animals, but he has done well living with other dogs. Romeo is not fond of children and would be best in an adult-only home. His short, reddish coat is easy to maintain, and he’s eager for belly rubs and playtime. This smart, affectionate dog will form an unbreakable bond with the right person. Romeo is currently in Ventura, CA, but can be transported to Colorado. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
