Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Romeo – Your Loyal Sheltie Companion! 🐾Foster in Virginia Beach Va
Romeo is a charming 4-year-old Sheltie with a heart full of love and a few extra pounds he's eager to shed. His previous owner adored him, but due to health challenges, she could no longer provide the care he deserves. Now, Romeo is seeking an active, loving home to help him embark on his next chapter. 🏡
Personality:
Loyal and Affectionate: Romeo forms deep bonds with his humans and thrives on companionship. 🥰
Dog-Friendly: He enjoys the company of smaller dogs like himself and has a particular fondness for Collies and fellow Shelties. 🐶🐾
Quiet Nature: Unlike many Shelties, who are known for their vocal tendencies, Romeo is relatively quiet and does not bark excessively.
Needs:
Cat-Free Home: Romeo has a strong prey drive and will actively go after cats and caged animals, so a home without them is essential. 🚫🐱
Active Lifestyle: He loves daily walks and would benefit from a family committed to regular exercise to help him achieve a healthier weight. 🚶♂️🐕
Secure Yard: A fenced yard will provide Romeo with a safe space to explore and play. 🏞️
Consistent Companionship: Romeo is accustomed to having a stay-at-home parent and thrives in an environment where someone is present most of the time. Therefore, we are seeking adopters who either work from home without travel commitments or families with at least one stay-at-home parent. 🏠👨👩👦
Family Compatibility:
Children: Due to his energetic nature and herding instincts, Romeo is best suited for families with children aged 7 and above. Younger children may be overwhelmed by his activity level, so older kids who can engage in structured play and understand respectful pet interactions are ideal. 👦👧
Adoption Requirements:
Proximity: We are seeking adopters located within two hours of Virginia Beach to ensure a smooth transition for Romeo.
Commitment: Given that Shelties have an average lifespan of 12 to 14 years, potential adopters should be prepared for a long-term commitment and have a reasonable expectation of outliving Romeo to provide lifelong care.
If you're an active individual or family ready to provide love, structure, and daily adventures, Romeo could be the perfect addition to your life! 💕
