My story

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


Romeo has been in our family since 2010. I found him on the street running into oncoming traffic. Once I got out of the car to try and locate his collar, he had nothing on and after taking him in for the next few nights and finally being able to go to the veterinarian, he had no chip, and it was best for Romeo to permanently live within our household.

I don't know how old he was, but records show that he was most likely between 1-2 years old. That would make him 15-16 in 2024. I say this because although his age may be a factor, he is in really good shape, as he still runs, walks, eats and does all his daily activities, just as he did in 2010.

I am looking for someone to show him the time he deserves. He is the best dog, but a lot has changed in 14 years and my mom, whom he lives with currently, has her own health to worry about.

I will never be someone who asks for money for him. I just want him to live out his remaining years in joy.
