Meet Romeo! Romeo is an 8 year old male Yorkie and he weighs about 14 pounds. He arrived in rescue after his previous human passed away and no one in their family would step up to take him in. Romeo has settled into foster care nicely, but would really like a forever home to call his own. Romeo’s foster mother says, "This sweet little boy loves to play fetch with toys and brings them back to you over and over again!  He loves to play with grownups and older children. He isn't a lap dog but enjoys cuddling. Romeo has never met a stranger. He loves to go on walks and is housetrained.  He is a “marker” when first brought into a home (belly bands will be needed the first few days), but after a couple of days he was no longer marking.  Romeo kicks with front and back legs after he potties or “marks” during a walk.  It’s funny to watch and it always makes me laugh, I call the “RomeyDance”. He does not like cats and will want to chase squirrels if he sees one when on a walk. He has a high prey drive, so NO cats or small animals in the house. He gets along well with other dogs, but not when food or treats are involved, so it’s better if he’s an only dog in the home. He is not food/treat aggressive with people, only other dogs and prefers to hide his treats rather than eat them right away. He sounds like a much bigger dog when he barks, which is usually when he sees someone coming to visit or hears knocking at the door.  Otherwise, he’s not much of barker. This little one ear up, one ear down pup will steal your heart! Romeo will be shy at first, but after a few days he will open up and show more of his personality.  He's always ready to play though, and greets company at the door with a toy for them to throw for him. Romeo loves baths, and like most dogs, is really playful afterwards.  He sometimes sleeps with me, and sometimes prefers to sleep on his bed in the living room or on the couch.  He will go into his crate occasionally, but since he is housetrained, I seldom close the door.  He does likes to be in the same room I am in." Romeo is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned! He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $250.
