Romeo came to us as an owner surrender from Oklahoma. When doing his wellness check it was discovered he was heartworm positive. He underwent the long and grueling treatment which includes a lot of rest and not much activity for at least 4 months. Once he was cleared he was sent to a foster. After a few weeks they noticed his legs were bothering him so we immediately sent him in to have Dr check him out. The results were heartbreaking and unexpected. Turns out his legs both never formed correctly due to being brutally abused as a puppy. Unfortunately there is no treatment to reverse what has been done but he is still able to live a normal life that can be managed with pain meds when he has flare ups. Romeo is a gentle guy who just loves to watch everything you do with such curiosity. He is very low key. You can find him in his bed with his bone or outside soaking up the sun. He gets along with all the other dogs in his foster home, and can be playful. He does need an introduction with new people and pets who come to visit. Right now they kennel him when a guest comes in and then once all the commotion stops they let him out to say hi. Due to his past Romeo needs understanding and a calm voice when being redirected, he is very scared and can assume you are going to do the worst. He would probably do best in a slower paced home. If you are looking for a wonderful companion that has such a tender loving heart, Romeo is definitely your guy. He has been through more than any dog should ever have to endure and he really needs a place to call home so he can settle in and feel loved everyday from here on out! So much love that he can forget his ugly past.
