Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Romeo is a funny dog with a show-stopping under-bite.
Romeo loves people and children more than anything else on earth, he does not have a mean bone in his 20 lb body. A consistent schedule will make his fine qualities shine. He gets along with other dogs and dog-loving cats. He loves to snuggle on the sofa or in bed.
Romeo is a 5 to 6 year old healthy terrier mix. Like most terriers Romeo is a great watch dog and will bark when someone is at your door or at other loud noises outside the home. At some point in his life, someone was not happy with him exhibiting this natural dog behavior and they bound his muzzle shut which left permanent scars on his snout. Romeo has been known to quiver and pace occasionally and he has earned the nick-name “Nervous Nelly”. However, Romeo is like a fine wine, he gets better with age and time. If any of this bothers you, Romeo is not the dog for you no matter how cute you think his under-bite is!
Romeo would love a home in a quieter setting. He needs a patient human who will help him transition to his new surroundings.
Romeo knows basic obedience and is crate trained. To keep him from looking like a Wookie - he needs a groom every 4-6 months. Romeo is micro-chipped, vaccinated and available for $200.00 adoption fee. He is currently being fostered in a busy Chicago neighborhood.
This is a courtesy listing for Rain Dog Rescue. If you would like to meet Romeo, please submit an adoption application through www.raindogrescue.org or contact lauren.rhone@gmail.com for assistance.
