Romeo

Romeo is a charming young boy with a personality that keeps you guessing in the sweetest way. One moment he’ll greet you at the gate with happy, bouncy enthusiasm, and the next he’ll pause to take in the situation and assess things at his own pace. He is still learning about the world around him — including whether toys are the best fun ever or something that might need a little more thought first.

Romeo would love a calm but active home that offers the best of both worlds. He enjoys going for walks, loves to sniff everything along the way, and is clearly a dog who likes to take in his surroundings. He will need secure fencing of at least 5 feet, as he has some impressive springs in his feet when excitement gets the better of him, especially if an adventure might be on the cards.

At times Romeo can be a bouncy boy, so a home with older children would suit him best. His enthusiasm can occasionally spill over, but he is also very polite around food and generally has a good awareness of his own space. With continued guidance, routine and boundaries, Romeo has all the makings of a wonderful companion.

Romeo could do well in a home with a calm medium or larger canine friend who can help show him the ropes as he settles in and explores his new surroundings. He may come across as a little frisky when first meeting other dogs, but once introductions are over, he is happy to wander alongside them or follow their lead.

A home with a yard would be ideal for Romeo, giving him space to explore, stretch his legs and enjoy being outdoors. He would love a family where someone is home fairly often, as he enjoys knowing his people are nearby, but he can also self-amuse and has the potential to settle well with a full-time worker if he is set up for success as a solo dog. He does have moments where he likes to check the fence line and keep an eye on what is happening around him, but as long as he knows his people are there, he is a pretty content boy.

Romeo is a sweet, curious and endearing young dog who will thrive with patience, companionship and a family willing to help him build confidence. In the right home, he will be a loyal and rewarding friend.

** Please note that Romeo has Pannus.
