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 rescued dogs may have experienced trauma and may require an adjustment period. Patience and understanding are crucial to help build trust and strengthen the bond between the dog and their new owner.

Ideal Home

A home with a tall fence backyard and an active family that enjoys outdoor activities. Families with a real intention to rescue a dog, with an open conscience about the needs of street animals, and experience in dog behavior and training, or a willingness to hire a trainer. High tolerance and patience for rescued puppies. Romina is not house-trained.

Ongoing Health

Romina has a healed old hip fracture, resulting in one leg being slightly shorter than the others. She has been spayed/neutered, vaccinated with DHPPI and Rabies, dewormed, microchipped, and tested negative for heartworm. She is on monthly Nexgard Spectra for flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. She comes with a health certificate and vaccination booklet.

Training & Support

Romina is still young and likes to chew, so she will thrive in a home that can provide structure and playtime. She is not house-trained and barks when her doggy friends bark. Owners should be prepared to provide patience and understanding as she adjusts to her new environment.
