Romeo~Adopted

Romeo is one super dog. He is such a lover and so sweet. He loves to play in his doggie pool and play with his doggie room-mate in foster care. He was picked up as a stray in Little Rock and rescued from Animal Services where he waited and waited but no one came for him. He is about 1-2 years old, about 50-60 pounds but a little underweight. He will most likely be about 60-70 pounds when he fills out. He has been completely vetted and is now all ready for his new home. He has the gorgeous lion mane like a Leonberger and wonderful personality. He is just smaller than what you would see in a full blooded Leo. He was extremely matted when he was rescued so unfortunately, we had to shave his beautiful locks on his rear skirt down to his skin. He feels much better but looks a little naked from behind :0) His coat was so neglected, it could not be saved. Romeo loves to play and is a fairly active boy. He is crate trained and uses a doggie door at his foster home. He does not bark alot and responds well to NO when he needs correction. He could easily knock over a smaller child or toddler so he would do best in a home with older children. He does seem to like canine company. We have not exposed him to cats so it would be our best guess. He would most likely be ok with cats if he was properly and slowly introduced. He does fairly well on a leash but needs some one who can manage a larger dog. The adoption fee is $125 and covers all necessary vet care to include: spay or neuter (mandatory - no exceptions), rabies, microchipping and registration, all vaccinations (including all puppy shots, rabies, adult boosters and Bordatella), grooming, Frontline for flea/tick preventative, heartworm check if age appropriate and preventative, collar and 50% of basic training classes. ******PLEASE NOTE - DUE TO HIGH COST OF GAS - EFFECTIVE 06/14/08 DOGSONLY WILL ONLY BE SHOWING ON SATURDAYS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. DOGSONLY WILL NO LONGER BE SHOWING ON SUNDAYS. WE ARE SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE AND APPRECIATE YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT.********* Adoption showings are every Sat & Sun at the WLR Petco on Chenal Parkway across from Target and Home Depot from 1-4. We do not show on holiday weekends. Also, you may want to call the store to make sure this pet is still available. Please call during our showing hours at 501-219-9907 as the store employees are not always aware on the availability of our rescues. Email contact is [email protected] Due to time restraints, we are not able to accept phone calls outside of our showing times at Petco (Sat & Sun 1-4) but we always try and answer all emails within 24 hours. All of our young and adult dogs require a 2 week home visit before finalizing the adoption process. This is to help ensure it is a good match for all involved without making a final commitment. Puppies are not available to go on home visits. All of our rescues are in private homes and not available to be visited outside of showing times. All of our foster homes work with our rescues to ensure they are crate trained and most are also housetrained. None of our foster homes have cats, so we can only make our best guess as to how our rescues would do with cats. We rescue from high kill shelters and once accepted into our program, none of our rescues are euthanized. We provide for all their vet care, socialization and training until an appropriate home can be found. We rely solely on donations and are a 501(c)3 Humane Society. The only support we receive is from donations from the general public. Thank you for your interest in rescue and in saving the life of a dog. Every day in the United States, 11,000 dogs are euthanized. Why Buy When You Can Save? Save a Rescued Dog
