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.

Ideal Home

Romina would thrive in a home with a tall, fenced backyard and an active family that enjoys outdoor activities. She needs a family with the intention to truly rescue her, understanding that rescued animals need protection and education. Experience in dog behavior and training is preferred, or a willingness to hire a trainer. She requires high tolerance and patience.

Ongoing Health

Romina has a healed hip fracture which resulted in one leg being slightly shorter than the others, though this does not impede her mobility. She has received spay/neuter certificate, 2 DHPPI vaccines, rabies vaccine, Bordetella vaccine, deworming, microchip, 4DX test and certificate, heartworm test negative certificate, and monthly Nexgard Spectra preventive protection. She also has a health certificate and vaccine booklet.

Training & Support

Romina is not house-trained and needs a home that can provide structure, playtime, and love. She is still young and likes to chew, so redirection and appropriate chew toys will be important. Patience and understanding are crucial for her adjustment period, as rescued dogs may have fears and anxieties due to past experiences.
