Oh, I roam around, around, around, around! Hi - My name is Rome and I've roamed to a lot of places in my short, two to three year, life! My first owner couldn't keep me and so I was dropped off at an animal shelter in Houston. The shelter wasn't the greatest, but I made the best of it. In fact, the shelter people used me to test other dogs to see if they were dog-friendly because I have, as they put it, a sweet and non-reactive response to other dogs! Unfortunately, I was about to be euthanized due to over-crowding and a wonderful foster mom from Austin arranged for me to be transferred to the 'In Dog We Trust' rescue (San Antonio) and then fostered me from them. My foster mom has a friend who has a dog, Hardy. Hardy and I have such a great time romping and playing in Hardy's big backyard. I would love to have a buddy to play with but don't think I'd be great in a house with a cat. I haven't been around small children and I am pretty sure I would prefer teen-agers. I have really come out of my shell and have shown my foster mom that I know how to Sit and Stay even when my food is being put down for me to eat. I'm a quick study and I'm currently enrolled in a six-week Adult Dog Behavior class which is fun but lots of work! My foster mom is hoping that I get a little better on a leash (I'm already pretty good if you ask me) and learn to not jump on people that come into the house. I don't bark very often - usually only when other dogs bark at me or when a squirrel is in my line of sight. My foster mom is really happy that I am so well-behaved when she goes out for a few hours (although I can't figure out why she would want to leave me!). I love going on walks - we try to go three times a day no matter what the weather. Sniffing around is a favorite activity and I get to do a lot of that when we walk! A few other things I love are men and women, tummy rubs, giving kisses, my soft bed, having a comfortable home to live in and a yard to spend a little time in, Greenies, and sleeping by my foster mom's feet while she works on her computer! I have my own bed and put myself to sleep around 8pm every night. I love my foster mom very much, but I am ready for a forever home where I can settle in and know that I am going to be taken care of for the rest of my life. Are you someone who will be my forever love?
