My story

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

Rome and his brother were found together after being abandoned in Richmond, CA, but thankfully their story took a happy turn. Now thriving in foster care in Rodeo, CA, Rome is healthy, confident, and ready to start his next chapter with a forever family.

Rome is about 1 year old and weighs around 58 pounds. He’s a Belgian Malinois mix with a sleek black coat that gleams in the sun, soft brown socks, a little white on his chest, and expressive upright ears that are always tuned in to what’s happening around him. He’s handsome for sure — but it’s his personality that really shines.

Rome is smart, athletic, and full of joyful energy. He loves being active and would be a fantastic companion for someone who enjoys hiking, running, or outdoor adventures. That said, he’s not all go-go-go — he also knows how to settle and enjoy downtime with his people.

He’s crate trained, housebroken, and friendly with other dogs. Like many young pups, his play style can be enthusiastic, but it’s all in good fun. Rome is very treat-motivated and eager to learn, making him a joy to train and bond with.

At home, Rome enjoys good food (chicken, duck, and salmon are top-tier in his book) and even appreciates some background music — rock and roll is his favorite, though he’s willing to humor a little country now and then 😉 He’d love a home with another dog to play with, especially one who can match his energy.

Rome is looking for a family who’s ready for adventure, laughter, and lots of love. In return, he’ll be a loyal, fun-loving companion who brings heart, happiness, and plenty of tail wags into your life.
