Featured Rescue Pup

Meet Romeo. He is truly everything that makes a rescue dog great: his resilience, his big heart and his loving personality. This sweet dog was left behind after his family moved out. He was living in an abandoned lot, surrounded by broken refrigerators and heaps of garbage. That was his life for a year.

At night, he would cry and the neighbors would toss him some food and pass some water under the fence. Finally, somebody did something about it, and brought him to our attention.

When he joined us, it was clear he needed some pretty extensive and expensive medical care, including ear, surgery and eye surgery. Happily, he’s made a full recovery and he’s feeling great. Now all he needs is a forever home.

Romeo is a loyal and loving dog, about 55 pounds and around five years old. He’s full of energy and loves going for walks in the neighborhood. Romeo is a sweet boy, but does need to be an only dog.

We want to help this good dog find his happy ever after. Could that be you? Please fill an application on our website.
