About Roberto

Meet Roberto, a handsome and shy boy eager to find his forever home. At about a year old, he weighs around 40 pounds and carries an endearing goofball spirit just waiting to shine. Though he may seem timid initially, with a bit of patience and understanding, he truly warms up and becomes a loving companion. Roberto's journey has already shown remarkable progress since arriving at the rescue. The dedicated volunteers have seen his transformations, and it's clear that he thrives in a loving environment. Once he gets comfortable, he adores lounging in laps and craves attention, clearly making up for lost time. His previous life wasn't kind, having been found living in a basement with other dogs. Now, he’s highly treat-motivated and eager to learn basic obedience and leash manners. Roberto would flourish best in a home with another friendly dog, as they help him come out of his shell. Those playful moments with his buddy Millie showcase his loving nature during playtime. Being a sensitive soul, he may need some time to adjust, and a containment plan will help him gain confidence. A household with kids aged 13 and older would suit him best, given his shy demeanor. With your love and guidance, Roberto is set to become the most affectionate and goofy addition to your home. Come meet him; he can't wait to find his family. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
