Romeo Has Arrived in Wisconsin – Now Looking for His Forever Home
Romeo made it out of the Arkansas kill shelter just in time and safely arrived in Wisconsin on 2/14/26. He is now settling into his foster home in Racine, WI and is doing super well!
Meet Romeo
Romeo is an approximately 6-month-old Border Collie mix who has already overcome more than most dogs his age. He was found as a tiny stray and had been in a kill shelter in Arkansas since he was just 5 weeks old. Recently, he was scheduled for euthanasia but was thankfully tagged in the nick of time and given the second chance he deserved.
Despite spending nearly his whole life in a shelter, Romeo is a happy, easygoing guy with a gentle and friendly personality. He loves people, does well with other dogs, and enjoys attention and affection.
Romeo is working on all of the puppy stuff — potty training, crate training, and leash manners — and is making great progress in foster care. Like any young pup, he will need continued guidance and consistency, but he is adaptable, eager to learn, and has a wonderful temperament that makes him a joy to have around.

Gender: Male
Weight: 35 lbs

Romeo has already beaten the odds. Now he just needs a forever family to give him the love and stability he has never had.

ADOPTION PROCESS:
1.) Apply: Fill out adoption application completely and submit all necessary documents.
2.)Application Decision: approved applicants will be notified via phone call and email.
3.)Foster-to-Adopt Trial Period: after approval, you have the opportunity to do a meet and greet and bring your dog home! You get a 5 day foster-to-adopt (FTA) period to make sure its the right fit.
4.) Final Decision: By the end of the FTA period, please let us know your final decision to adopt or return the dog to our rescue.
5.) Home Visit: After the adoption process we conduct a home visit either in person or via zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.
6.) Neuter/spay for puppies: for dogs who are not fixed at the time of adoption, we will reimburse $150 for the procedure once we receive proof of spay/neuter. We recommend going to HAWS Snip Clinic in Waukesha, WI or Wisconsin Community Veterinarian Center in Madison, WI for the most affordable option. If you would like to go through your veterinarian or another location, that works too!
