Story
Meet Damu! This 70 lb boy things he's a tiny 15 lb lap dog. He loves everyone he meets and will follow you from room to room. Sitting on a couch? He'll sit right next to you (or in your lap). Got a long road trip? He'll be your trust copilot. Get chilly at night? No worries, he'll snuggle up to you all night long. This goof ball loves playing with toys and can entertain himself for hours. Dog friends? For sure! He'd love to play in the snow with his buds! Damu is house trained, crate trained, and we are all going to be very jealous of the family that gets to make this boy part of their forever family.

Story
Gloria is being treated for Heartworm and will need to have her activity level restricted for the next several months. We would love to place her in a quiet foster home while she undergoes treatment. She has shown some resource guarding around food, so we would prefer to either place her in a home with no other dogs or where the dogs could be completely segregated whenever food or treats are present. Please email roas@romi.gov to apply to foster or adopt this loving girl.

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Mildred is so loyal to her people and likes to warn them whenever a stranger is around. Once she's comfortable, she is a loving and constant companion. One-on-one, she seems to be in her element. She will likely benefit most from a quieter home with consistent people and little unsettling activity. Millie does not respond well to cats, small dogs, some larger dogs, but has done great with polite, playful dogs. Although she has male friends she trusts, she definitely seems to prefer women to men. She will need to placed in a home with no young children. Millie has thrived within her ROAS family of staff and volunteers, but we know there is someone who out there who checks all her boxes who will take her home and be her forever family. Please email roas@romi.gov for more information or to apply to foster or adopt.

Story
Meet Melon, You will fall in love! Sweet Melon is about 30# and around 9 months old. She is currently at the shelter learning to be brave and getting there every day. She is there with her brother Mango. They both are looking for a wonderful foster or adopter. They do not need to be adopted or fostered together, this is just the current situation she is in and we love the puppy playtime in the meantime. Melon is a bit on the shyer, quiet side which may change once she gets more confident. We already see her coming out of her shell. She can be the only dog or would be happy to have a dog brother or sister that can show her the ropes, with slow and proper introductions. If sweet Melon looks to be your match, please fill out an app for her, she is waiting. *Cats and Kids are unknown. Breed is a guess based on appearance.

Story
Meet the most beautiful Lilo. Warning- once you meet her, you will fall instantly in love. She just turned 4 years old. Lilo has so far not met a person she did not immediately want to snuggle with and has the cutest ears of any dog we have ever seen, when she puts them up they touch on the top of her head making her 100% adorable. She is currently about only 40lbs of pure cuteness. Spayed? Check. Fully Vaccinated? Check. She has met other dogs, however seems to be happiest being your one and only. Lilo would do well in a home where she can get a lot of human attention as she is a super star snuggler, connisseur of snacks and the princess of belly rubs. She does love to play and is ready to go. Fetch and stuffies are her jam. Someone that would have time to spend with her, maybe take her on adventures, but happy to curl up with her for a movie night, would be ideal. She was adopted, however her owner's situation has changed, so with lots of love, they have decided it is not the best placement for her any longer, however, she is being fostered there until her perfect new family comes along. If you think Lilo may be a great addition to your family be sure to fill out an application, she won't be available for long!
