Story
Romeo will be 5 years-old in September. He was adquired from a Florida Italian Greyhound breeder when he was 2 months-old. He needs someone who can be with him most of the day, ideally someone who works or stays at home. He is such a loving boy and likes cuddling. He loves being outside, but has to be closely monitored as he is sensitive to high/low temperatures, fleas, and parasites. He is high maintenance, but regular vet visits prevent any issues! He recently had oral surgery (May 2025), but is doing amazing and eats normally! Had a history of neglect when boarded with a "proffessional trainer", which led to a hospitalization in 2023. I am in the medical field and had to relocate to Jacksonville, Fl. in June. My schedule and responsibilities changed drastically, which has led me to this sad decision, as I do not know anyone who can help me take care of him and want the best for him. Breed papers and relevant documentation will be provided to the new parent.
