About Romi

Romi is a clever, affectionate 1-year-old German Shepherd/Terrier mix who’s spent the last three months in foster care. He has a flair for the dramatic—think expressive sighs and sly side-eyes—but you’ll rarely hear him bark. Romi is house-trained, learns new commands almost instantly, and has a soft spot for puzzle toys and cozy pillows (or, better yet, stretching out right on his people). He wants to be part of whatever his humans are doing. Romi gets along well with other dogs, playing with the big ones and showing gentleness toward the smaller set. He brings a big heart and a lot of personality, and he’s looking for the right person or family to return that love. Click apply to start the adoption process.
