About Romeo

Romeo was adopted from St. Bonnie's as a puppy in 2013 and spent the next 13 years in a home we hoped would be his forever. At the beginning of June, he was found as a stray and brought to West Valley Animal Shelter. After two weeks with no owner coming forward, we welcomed him back to the place where his journey began. Despite everything he's faced, Romeo remains a joyful soul. He quickly adjusted to ranch life, befriending dogs, cats, and anyone he meets. He enjoys lounging in the office beside his Chihuahua buddy, Pinto, and a cat named Meatball, who loves to curl up right behind you while you work. At 13 years old, Romeo is surprisingly spry and healthy for his age. He’s sweet, walks beautifully on a leash, and seems to be house trained. This little character is eager to find a loving family to cherish him during his golden years. He truly deserves a home where he won’t be left behind again.
