About Romeo

Romeo is a 7-year-old, 14-pound Shih Tzu who recently retired from a commercial breeding kennel. Unlike many dogs from similar backgrounds, Romeo has developed a confident personality and enjoys gentle pets and attention. He is still learning that kindness exists, and each day his true self shines a bit brighter. A patient family will help him adjust to life as a beloved companion rather than a breeding dog. He enjoys being around other dogs, so having a confident canine friend will help him further build his confidence and understand family life. A quieter home without young children is ideal for Romeo. With love, patience, and a friendly dog to guide him, this little sweetheart is sure to blossom into a fantastic companion. Adoption Fee: $475 (includes neuter). Ready to adopt?
