My story

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

Meet Rome! Hi there! My name is Rome, and I'm an approximately 2-year-old male Blue Heeler mix with a big heart and a love for people. I was surrendered when my previous family was no longer able to care for me, but I'm ready to start my next chapter with a family who appreciates affection over fetch. I'm a social, happy boy who isn't really into toys—I'd much rather soak up attention, enjoy good company, and relax in a comfy bed or pile of blankets. I keep my kennel clean and appear to be potty trained, which means I'm already off to a great start in a home environment. I haven't been tested with other dogs yet, so a meet-and-greet is essential if you have pets at home to make sure everyone is comfortable. My adoption fee is $125, and I am neutered, microchipped, current on my rabies vaccination and DHPP booster, and heartworm negative. If you're looking for a friendly companion who runs on love and cozy naps, I might just be your guy. Apply to adopt me at https://rockwalladoptions.com/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ Rome is ready to trade shelter life for soft blankets and a family of his own.

 

All animals, unless otherwise noted in their description, are at 1825 Airport Rd. in Rockwall, TX. Hours of operation are Monday-Friday 9 am to 6 pm and Saturdays 9 am to 5 pm. For questions, please call 972-771-7750 ext. 2 or email info@RockwallAdoptions.com.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: All shelter animals are required by Texas state law to be spayed/neutered. RAC completes this procedure at the age of 12 weeks. If you are adopting a pet under the age of 12 weeks or an animal that has not yet been spayed or neutered, you will be required to return the pet to our facility on the agreed upon date set at the time of adoption. This policy is non-negotiable and violation of this health code is a criminal offense.
