About Romeo

Adoption Fee: $25
Lab / Pit Bull
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

Romeo is house trained, crate trained, and understands basic commands. He can be left alone in the house without destroying things and will show so much love to you! Romeo is a lovable companion who just needs some work with a personal trainer. I do not have the funds to provide this service for him and unfortunately cannot continue to support this fostering. I took Romeo in for a friend who neglected him, and put him in a kill-shelter after two bite instances. I assumed his issues could be mediated through time and attention but he does need private training to work on neglect issues and aggression when he doesn't get it. I wanted to help rehabilitate him but training is a lot more than I realized - both in time and money. He deserves a good home with someone who truly wants to help rehabilitate a sweet dog with trauma. After a consultation with a trainer, his issue is Resource Guarding. Without proper time and attention from owner, he gets possessive and feels the need to show aggression towards anyone who comes between the time he gets for him and owner. The aggression only comes out when he feels neglected(long 12+ hours without owner/walks). By aggression, I mean growling at others, small nibbling on your clothes(anxiety), whining, and if ignored, a bite at someone else(never the owner). I have had him for two months and am attempting to sponsor his training until he gets a new home. He will love and protect his owner with every once of his being. He is very affectionate and truly just wants more space and freedom to be in a comfortable loving home. I could go on and on but contact me if you are interested so far. I love him and am sad to see him go but I do no t have the resources.
