My story

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

Romeo is an energetic and joyful pup who loves nothing more than spending time outside and playing to his heart’s content. He’s a big fan of toys and will happily engage in playtime, whether it’s a game of fetch or just zooming around the yard. Romeo is a smart boy who knows basic commands like "sit" and "stay," making him a great candidate for further training and bonding in his future home.
Romeo thrives in an active environment and would love a human who enjoys outdoor activities as much as he does. If you're looking for a playful, loving dog to bring excitement and energy into your home, Romeo is ready to be your new best friend!

Meet Romeo at ACCT Philly any day of the week from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
