Romina

Romina is a beautiful young pup, about 1 year and 8 months old, weighing 57 lbs. She has an incredible spirit and a big heart that shines through her playful personality. Romina had a tough start to life; she was found abandoned in an empty lot, injured and infested with fleas. After being rescued and taken to the vet, it was discovered she had an old hip fracture that had already healed on its own. With time and care, she recovered wonderfully. She now walks and runs with ease, though one of her legs remains slightly shorter than the others—it doesn’t slow her down one bit!

This girl is full of energy and loves to run, chase balls, chew her toys, and enjoy yummy treats besides her kibble. Romina is very loyal, curious, and affectionate with humans. She also gets along well with other dogs and has experience living with cats. While she doesn’t attack them, she can be a bit rough when playing, so supervision is best. Romina is a social dog who enjoys the company of both kids and adults. She’s used to sleeping in her crate, walks nicely on a leash, and joins right in when her doggy friends bark—her voice is strong! She’s still young and likes to chew anything that catches her attention, so she’ll thrive in a home that can give her structure, playtime, and lots of love. It's essential to recognize that our dogs may have experienced trauma before arriving, and may require an adjustment period. Patience and understanding are crucial when dealing with rescued dogs as they may have fears and anxieties due to past experiences and need time to adapt to new environments and people. Providing a safe and loving environment, establishing a routine, and clear boundaries will help them feel secure.

Ideal Home

• A home with a tall fenced backyard.
• An active family that enjoys outdoor activities.
• A family with the intention to truly rescue a dog and an open conscience about the needs of rescued street animals.
• A family with experience in dog behavior and training, or a willingness to hire a trainer.
• High tolerance and patience for rescued puppies.

Ongoing Health

Romina’s medical records show she has an old hip fracture that has healed on its own, resulting in one leg being slightly shorter. All her veterinary treatments are up to date, including spay/neuter certificate, DHPPI and Rabies vaccines, Bordetella vaccine, deworming, microchip, 4DX test, heartworm negative test, and monthly Nexgard Spectra preventive. She has a health certificate and vaccine booklet.

Training & Support

Romina is not yet house-trained. She enjoys chewing, so she will need a home that can provide appropriate chew toys and redirection. She is used to sleeping in her crate and walks nicely on a leash. She can be a bit rough when playing with other pets, so supervision is recommended.
