Description:

Meet Romy!

Romy is a fun, goofy, and playful dog, who can't wait to find his best friend! He loves his people so much, and wants to be around you all the time. He wants to please, so he is very responsive to commands, and comes when called, even outside. He knows sit, down, and wait, and is working on new commands. He is very smart, and learns routines quickly. Plus, he's housetrained and will sit by the door when he's ready to go out! He has had no accidents in his foster home.

He is crate trained, and can sleep quietly through the night in his crate, but also does fine being left out overnight and sleeping on a dog bed next to your bed. He goes into his crate nicely. A Kong filled with peanut butter in the crate with him has helped give him something to focus on instead of your leaving.

He is a young boy, and will need exercise and interaction to keep him happy. But, luckily, that's easy to do, because he loves games and toys. He plays fetch, bringing the ball back each time, and he even enjoys searching the ball out when it has become lost in the snow. He plays hide and seek - when his human disappears, he immediately searches them out! He loves toys of all shapes and sizes, and can entertain himself with them. After a fun day with his family, he loves snoozing on the couch, with his head in your lap. But, if you don't want him on the couch, just tell him so, and he gets off.

Romy enjoys the company of other dogs, but needs a slow introduction to new dogs. He would love a dog of similar energy level to play with, but doesn't necessarily need to have a canine companion because he loves his humans so much. He'd do best in a home without very small children, because his excitement for life has the potential to knock little ones over. He would not do well in a home with cats.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
