Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Romeo is back !!!
Romeo was adopted out last year, the lady that took him LOVES this boy like her own child. Recently Romeo's mom has had a complicated back surgery and after physical therapy it has been decided that there is no way she can handle Romeo anymore. She is currently in a walker and Romeo is a big, strong, playful boy. She is devistated !!!! She asked if we would take him back and find another safe, loving home for him. We know how hard this was for her, but appreciate that she is willing to think of what is best for Romeo.
Since he has been adopted Romeo has gotten to be a little spoiled !! We are doing some re-training to address issues like pulling on the lead - she never used a leash with him. Romeo is so sweet and such a cuddle bug !!!! HE loves to lay on the bed and watch T.V with you. He loves his tennis balls and has the all-time sweetest face.
This dog has done nothing wrong, his first mom was in a car wreck after spoiling him Rotten for over a year. Not Romeo's fault - he is so confused and sad !!
Here is our original posting of Romeo !
SWEETEST BOY EVER !!!!!!
Okay we have had Romeo for 2 weeks now and we can say for sure he was abused. This poor, sweet boy just hits the flor whenever there is a loud noise, even a happy noise. He reacts to someone standing over him by laying down and rolling on his back and hugging your feet. He tucks his head down and is very submissive. There is a scar on is nose and he appears to have been grinding his teeth on something, perhaps a chain or fence.
ALL he wants is to curl up in your lap. He really wants to play with the cats, he gets very excited, we are training him - more like trying to convince him that YES, he is TOO BIG to play with the kitty.
He is neutered, housebroken and UTD on all shots, we are really looking for a special loving family to open up their hearts to Romeo, someone who wants a loving companion.
This is ROMEO he is a lover. I have never been a fan of Rottweilers but let me tell you, this is the second Rottweiler in a month that I have rescued from death row and both have been outstanding. Romeo was rescued from a city shelter which is beyond capacity, so....his time was up after only a week.
All this boy wants is to lay his head in your lap. Romeo is a medium size only 80 lbs, but in his mind he is 20 lbs, he truly believes himself to be a lap dog. Romeo is about 16 months old and still has a lot of puppy in him, we introduced him to a red ball today and it was love at first bite !
This dog is nothing but love, everything I thought I knew about Rotties has been proven wrong. There is not a vicious bone in Romeo's body. Romeo appears to to have been abused by his former human, he is sensitive and submissive. He craves human contact and is starving for love and attention.
We are working on crate training right now and he was neutered yesterda 3/8/11. Romeo is utd on all shots and is Heartworm Negative !! I can't say enough about this guy, if you are looking for a lover, Romeo is right here.
Please, this boy needs and deserves to be in a loving home, he gives GREAT hugs
Details -
Romeo has a natural tail and a small patch of white on his chest so he is not a pure Rottweiler, we are not sure what else he is beacause he is such a Rottie !!
