About Romeo

Romeo arrived at the rescue alongside his sister, Juliet. This affectionate 4-year-old Chihuahua weighs just 5 pounds, making him a perfect cuddle companion. He enjoys spending his days nestled in a lap, showcasing his loving nature. While he's learning to walk on a leash, he prefers the comfort of being a lap dog. With a medium energy level, he’s content to nap beside you on the couch. He gets along well with other dogs at the rescue and, thankfully, doesn't bark excessively, making him a quietly charming addition to any home. While we strive for our pets to be house trained, we can confirm that all our dogs are kennel trained and usually adapt quickly to home environments. If you think you can provide a loving home for Romeo, please fill out an adoption application to get started on this rewarding journey together. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
