Romeo lives up to his name. He's deeply affectionate, loyal, and happiest when he's close to the people he trusts. Romeo strikes a great balance—he's active and playful in the yard but knows how to relax and snooze when it's quiet time. Already house and crate trained, Romeo has completed a professional board and train, so his obedience is strong and he's picking up new commands quickly. He bonds tightly with his family and can be protective, making him a better fit for a calmer, low-traffic home with experienced adopters who understand how to set boundaries and keep routines steady. He's friendly with other dogs and does fine with older children, but a quieter environment where he's not meeting new people constantly is ideal.

Out on walks, expect plenty of compliments on his handsome looks and good behavior. If you’re looking for a grounded, loving, and well-trained companion, Romeo is ready to become part of your pack in Brookeville, MD. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
