Hi, everyone… my name is Romeo. I am a pretty laid-back for a 1-year-old, 15-pound male Chihuahua mix. I came into my amazing foster home through SBRET, who rescued me from shelter life where I was terrified of all the noises. I am a very sweet and mellow boy and I love to cuddle. I get along with the other dogs in my foster family and with the cat, but if I needed to, I could very easily adapt to being an only dog. I am not a big fan of large dogs because they are bigger than me and scare me. I do not play with toys much because I would rather be outside walking. I would like to have a family who will enjoy taking me on walks because I love to go on walks almost as much as I love to cuddle. I would not do well in an apartment because do have a tendency to bark at strangers.
For sleeping arrangements, I would love to be in the big bed, but my foster mom has me sleep in a crate. I am fine with this, and I don’t whine but I would be really thrilled to sleep in the big bed instead. When you must leave, I can be left out on my own because I am mellow, and I do not destroy anything but I will bark. I am well potty-trained, but I am learning not to mark because I just got neutered. I do walk well on a leash. I travel well in a car and love to look out the windows.
My #1 favorite thing to do is cuddle and my #2 favorite thing to do is go for walks. I would really love a chance to love you. I am neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and I’m on heartworm and flea preventative. My adoption fee is $175.
