Romey

Romey is a fun-loving pup, about 5 months old, with huge, floppy ears in a classic black and tan coat. He and his sister, Juliette, were found by a good samaritan in the Modesto area. After trying for a month to locate the owners, they contacted our group.

Romey is doing well in his foster home with 3 other shepherds and several cats. He has been to the vet for a fever of unknown origin and is finishing up his medications, and fortunately not having any continuous symptoms. He takes pills easily and has a good appetite. The vet's staff say he reminds them of Dobby from the Harry Potter movies because of his big eyes and droopy ears. On occasion, one ear decides to stand up, which is really adorable.

For a young dog, Romey has a big dog bark. It is alarming to hear it coming from such a young dog. Romey has not had any accidents in the house, but is not left inside for long periods to test his bladder,  either. He is learning house manners and to Sit and Wait for his food. Further obedience training will go a long way with this smart boy.

Romey has become a confident pup, but prefers to be where the humans are. He'll chase a tennis ball and loves his squeaky toys and nylabones. He rides nicely in the car and has learned to jump into the back seat with little prompting.

This is a Level 2 Dog
