Romeo the Dog needs a home
When we first started fostering Romeo, he was very shy and would not respond to being petted; he tried to back away to keep us from touching him. It took almost a month for him to start responding to us--regarding us with leery eyes He has since become a very affectionate dog. After his heart-worm treatment, he has become more energetic and playful. When he is in his comfort zone, he likes to roll over and have his chest rubbed. He eats well and is very happy when he sees his food bowl. He is very inquisitive about things around the house, especially if he thinks it might be something to eat. He likes walking, if the weather is nice--he is not fond of wet, misty weather. Unlike Juliet, he does not lollygag during his walks--he likes to keep moving and investigating the world around him. Because of his thick coat, Romeo needs to brushed, especially the area around his ears and hindquarters. Romeo has large expressive eyes, especially when he wants to stop walking in the wet grass and go inside the house. He has shown no inclination to chew on furniture, shoes, or plastic items. He has shown no interest in balls or toys. He does not jump on people. He has not been exposed to cats or children. Romeo is protective of Juliet. For the most part, he and the other two males in the house do a bit of growling but there have been no fights.
