About Rome

URGENT!!!! LOYAL SENIOR ROTTIE BOY ON HIS WAY TO THE SHELTER BY FRIDAY-HE NEEDS A NEW HOME, A FOSTER OR RESCUE BY THEN TO KEEP HIM SAFE- BEGGING FOR HELP-HE WILL BE TAKEN TO A SHELTER AND HE DOESN'T DESERVE TO DIE TRANSPORT IS AVAILABLE FOR A GOOD OUT OF STATE HOME I got an email from a woman who is very distraught because she needs to find a new home for her boy. She moved in with her boyfriend and Rome isn't getting along with his unneutered dog. Rome is an 8 year old neutered, Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix. His person had him since he was 6 weeks old. Rome has been with her through thick and thin, staying right next to her when she was recovering from an injury and being her life raft when her husband passed away. He was her constant loyal companion when she was at her lowest. After time and much healing, she met a man who she is serious with. He has 3 dogs, one which is an unneutered male who Rome does not get along with. This has caused an extremely stressful living situation so Rome has to go. Rome was raised with and did fine with a female Pit Bull, a cat and 3 ducks all in the same house. He has not been around male dogs until recently. She did contact trainers and finally settled on Charisma Johnston of Ready Set Canine but that turned into a horribly traumatic experience for poor Rome. Left at the training academy Rome was tortured, starved (he lost 30 lbs.) and abused. His rear right foot and leg was seriously injured, and he suffered a hole in his left shoulder (which has healed). She has taken court action against the trainer but that will never change what Rome suffered. My heart breaks for this boy. He needs us and deserves to find a forever home where he can feel safe. He loves to lay by your feet when you watch TV, loves being brushed, and of course playing with his ball. He is in heaven riding in the back seat of a car with the window rolled down, so he can bark at cows, people, etc. He also loves to go for walks. He is a wonderful companion. Please spread the word to save Rome.
