ROMEO IN WISCONSIN

30 DECEMBER 2009

Romeo is my lover! He is doing amazingly well, except for the fact that with the new CairnBaby in the house, he is gaining weight. Everyone is on a diet now; Romeo & I have to eat less; Micky has to eat more. Go figure how that is going to work!

[Micky is from THE 12 CAIRNS OF CHRISTMAS Rescue Mission; you can read about him HERE]

Romeo embodies all the classic characteristics of his breed: he's intelligent, independent, curious, tenacious, strong & loving.

Romeo is very energetic and loves to go for long walks, and explore the safety of his fenced back yard. An avid hunter . . . he will scour the terrain for birds & squirrels and give chase whenever he can.

Despite an air of independence, Romeo is also a lover and will flip on his back in a submissive posture, hoping to get a belly rub. He loves to kiss & cuddle and get lots of attention. This is not a dog to be "parked in a corner" or a dog who would be happy in a condo. This is a dog that requires a devoted, terrier-savvy owner who can offer plenty of structure, love and exercise.

Romeo has been in foster care for nearly a year now and in that time he has learned to "Sit" and "Shake". He comes when called; he loves to play at the dog park; he gets along great with other dogs, but does like to chase cats and anything else that moves. His house training has gone well and he has stopped accidents in the house and has even broken that "marking" issue that so many mill dogs have.

Romeo is currently living with a Cairn mix, a Staffordshire Terrier and his co-foster-brother, Micky. Romeo may be little, but he has ascended to "alpha dog" position. He plays very well, is considerate with the other dogs and interacts with many dogs both in the neighborhood and at the dog park and has shown no serious signs or aggression or dominance. He would do well in a home with another dog but would be equally at home as an "only dog". He interacts well with the respectful 11-year-old in the household and shows excitement when his friends come to visit.

Romeo is a dog that loves to learn and is eager to accept new challenges. He would likely excel at canine performance sports such as agility, rally or fly ball. He is fast on his feet and wants to please.

Romeo is very obedient when being groomed. He allows his foster mom to brush him. He loves going for car rides although he has a tendency to bark at passersby & motorcycles. He loves to play with toys and engage the other dogs in a game of tug-o-war or keep away.

Romeo has nice leash etiquette but because he loves the great outdoors, he needs a home with a fenced yard. He has a lot of energy and requires a family who will make him an active participant in family activities . . . a family who can provide lots of leashed walks . . . trips to the dog park . . . playdates . . . and can involve him in obedience or agility training. He will not be considered for a family where there is not someone home for the majority of the day.

If you know & love terriers and have the time & dedication needed for this wonderful little man, then Romeo could be the dog for you!

Romeo is neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations, and receives a monthly heartworm and flea & tick preventative.
