Characteristics Playful, Loves, Smart Coat length Medium House-trained Yes Health Vaccinations up to date, spayed / neutered. Good in a home with Other dogs. Meet Romeo Say Hi to Romeo, a smart, loving guy who is ready to be the leading man in your life. He's an exuberant 3.5-year-old Australian Shepherd heart throb with a beautiful black and white coat and a full tail. Weighing about 50 pounds, this neutered male is healthy, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped. A true Aussie through and through, Romeo combines intelligence, energy, and loyalty with a loving and playful spirit, ready to bring joy to an active and caring home. Romeo has been a cherished family member since he was just 12 weeks old, and now he's seeking his next forever family. As a classic high-energy herding breed, he thrives when given mental and physical challenges and is eager to learn and explore every day. What Romeo is Great At: �� Dog-friendly! He lived happily with a Labrador and enjoys meeting new dog friends at the park. �� Crate-trained and trustworthy indoors; he free roams when alone without causing damage. �� Loves car rides-he's a perfect co-pilot for adventures. �� Enjoys grooming and being pampered with professional brush-outs. �� Playful and smart-he loves chasing balls and knows basic commands like 'Sit,' 'Speak,' and 'Paw.' �� Balanced energy-hardworking but knows when to relax. �� Would thrive on hikes and outdoor exploration as a dedicated adventure buddy. Romeo's Work-in-Progress Areas: �� Slow introductions with strangers, especially children, help him feel safe and confident. �� Leash manners need work-he tends to tug initially but settles in with time. �� Recall isn't reliable yet; a securely fenced yard is necessary. �� Nail trims require patience and gentle handling. �� Eats quickly but does well with slow feeders. �� Unknown around cats-he's curious but inexperienced. �� Barks at the doorbell but settles quickly with redirection; confidence-building training would benefit him. Romeo thrives with positive reinforcement and structured routines. He would do best in a home that offers gradual, thoughtful introductions-especially with children-and an owner ready to engage his active mind and body. If you're looking for a smart, energetic, and devoted companion who will bring enthusiasm and loyalty into your life, Romeo could be your perfect match!
