About Romy

Meet Romy, a lovely Anatolian Shepherd currently in Nashville. She has had a challenging start due to a previous hoarding situation, which makes her a bit nervous when adapting to new environments. With time, patience, and love, Romy will blossom into a cheerful companion who seeks attention, plays with toys, and enjoys running around the yard. She does have a playful side, often stealing shoes and socks when she feels comfortable. Romy has always been around other dogs, and while it’s not essential, having a confident canine friend can significantly help her adjust to a new home. She's fine with cats, but she needs a calm environment, so children must be at least 12 years old. A fenced yard is a must to ensure her safety as she navigates her fears of life and new experiences. With the right family, Romy is ready to open her heart. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
