My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Romeo, a young and vibrant spirit. He is a bundle of energy, always ready to play and explore. His exuberance may have him pulling on the leash, but with some guidance, he'll be walking by your side in no time. Romeo's house training is a testament to his intelligence and adaptability. He has learned the sit, no, down, and off commands. His playful nature can sometimes translate to roughness, especially with other dogs, cats, and children. He is also a bit jumpy and occasionally nippy, but that's just his way of expressing his excitement. His intensity and rowdiness might cause him to tackle kids or dogs as he enthusiastically blusters his way through life. You'll need to bring your dog to meet him and children in the home need to be at least 12 years old. He should not live with a cat. He weighs 63 pounds and plans to keep growing. He enjoys fetch, agility, running, tugging, toys, walks, and wrestling. He is needy, always seeking attention and affection, but that's just because he has so much love to give. Romeo should be adopted because his energy and zest for life can bring joy and excitement to any home. His affectionate nature makes him a perfect companion for those seeking a loving bond and a huge lap dog to pet. He'll be your loyal friend, eager to share in your daily activities because he never wants to be by himself. His playful nature and need for affection make him the perfect companion for someone who can provide him with training and the love and care he deserves. (tw 10/17/2024)
