Why I need a new home

Found or abandoned

My story

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


Romeo was originally found near a bus stop in South Phoenix by my coworker. I have been long term fostering him since all the shelters have been so full. He is a sweet loving boy who gives endless hugs, kisses and snuggles. He’s still very puppy like and high energy; he loves to play with any kind of toys and run around.

He’s smart and a fast learner but needs additional training for reactivity. He has a lot of anxiety when he sees a dog that he has not been introduced to before. With slow introductions, he’s good with dogs and cats.

He has a large scar on his head from living on the street, undetermined how it occurred. He has been diagnosed with Valley Fever and takes Fluconazole twice a day.

Unfortunately, due to my schedule, I’m unable to dedicate the necessary time Romeo needs. Looking for an experienced adopter who will help Romeo continue his training.
