Romeo is a 65-pound, four-year-old, loyal, strong and loving, white and tan American Bulldog (or mix) looking for a loving one week temporary foster and a permanent guardian. Romeo is looking for someone who appreciates a hunk of a dog who loves walks and being loved. He’d love all your attention as the one and only pet in the home. He is full of slobbery kisses and tail wags for the people he loves. People come up to me on the street to love on him and he’s so appreciative of everyone’s love! Tied to a park bench on Mother’s day of 2024, this dude had swallowed a toy and needed emergency surgery to have it extracted. He’s been in foster care ever since. Sadly, he’s never had a loving home of his very own. He thrills to lay on a comfy dog bed at your feet as you work, or chill and binge watch shows with you. He's also up for a game of tug of war or playing a little fetch with a tennis ball! Romeo is great in the car while strapped into the back seat (otherwise he’ll end up trying to cuddle in your lap.) He is fantastic during baths and he loves a rubdown and sinks into your touch. Romeo is a healthy hunk, neutered, vaccinated for rabies and distemper, bordetella and leptospirosis, heartworm-tested and on monthly preventative, fecal-tested, dewormed, and microchipped. He takes fluoxetine (doggie Prozac) for separation anxiety. His separation anxiety manifests itself in panicking and drooling when left alone. But, he’s crate – trained and housebroken. He does have a habit of jumping up when excited, so he’s still in training mode and best with a stronger person with dog-loving children who are over 10 years of age, and no other pets in the home. His adoption fee has been paid by a generous supporter and he comes with absolutely everything you need to care for him. To meet and possibly foster or adopt Romeo, please fill out an adoption application at https://friendsofpetraits.com/dog-adoption-application/ and follow up to meet him by e-mailing friendsofpetraits@gmail.com He is currently being fostered in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood. But, he needs relief foster from May 27th to June 2nd.
