Roma is a 10-month-old Retriever mix with a bright and loving personality. Weighing in at a healthy 40lbs, shes an outgoing and friendly pup who greets everyone with a wagging tail and a playful spirit. Roma loves attention and isn't shy about asking for belly rubs or giving you a big kiss to show her affection. Sweet Roma was adopted as a baby, and then found a a stray once later. Were excited to find her the family she deserves.
Roma enjoys the company of other dogs and loves playful games like chase and tug-of-war. Shes happiest in a home with another playful dog or an active family who can provide her with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Roma is a smart girl who is food motivated, so we are certain she will be quick to learn with her new family. She has already mastered; 'place and break', and knows 'touch, sit, high five and ah-ah'. She has made improvements on her walks, but needs guidance and reminders to stay focused and not pull. She is alert to her surroundings on her walks, and can be startled or selectively reactive in her new environment.
Romas ideal home would include space to play, and loving companions (active adults, kids or dogs). Roma has a playful energy and loving nature, shes ready to become the heart of a happy, active household.
Roma comes with an unlimited supply of love, laughter, and, of course, belly rub requests! Are you ready to meet this joyful pup and give her the loving forever home she deserves? Romas tail is wagging, and shes ready to start her next adventure with you!
