meet romeo
Romeo was found abandoned at a gas station and was saved by a loving family who got him neutered and vaccinated and is now looking for a permanent home for this sweet boy. Romeo is a smart, energetic Border Collie who loves having a job to do. He’ll happily spend an afternoon exploring with you or learning a new trick, then curl up close for a cuddle. He forms a strong bond with his people, and the family who loves him is looking for an active, adult-only home where he can put those herding instincts to work.
A few things to love about Romeo
• He knows “sit,” “down,” “spin,” “sit pretty,” and “go to bed.” He loves learning, and we think he’d have a great time with agility or herding activities
• He’s fully house-trained and crate-trained. He settles well in his crate, even when he needs to be there for longer stretches
• He lives peacefully with cats who are used to his occasional attempts to herd them
• He’s neutered and vaccinated
What we want for Romeo
Romeo displays typical herding dog behavior in the form of herding and moving people and other animals with his mouth. Because of this, we are looking for an adult home. His forever home should have experience with/understand Border Collies and enjoy the daily exercise, training, and routine that helps keep a busy dog engaged. This includes understanding and managing herding behavior.
Romeo generally enjoys other dogs and will chase after them hoping to play. He tends to have a hard time with Golden Retrievers in particular, so a careful introduction is important if there’s another dog in the home. A secure yard with exceptionally tall fencing is a must. Romeo can clear surprisingly high fences, especially when there’s a dog on the other side he wants to join.
If teaching Romeo his next trick sounds like as much fun to you as taking him along on your next hike, apply to meet him.
