ROMERO HAS BEEN WAITING SO LONG, HE’S STARTING TO THINK HIS INVITATION GOT LOST IN THE MAIL.
Romero is ridiculously handsome, wildly social and, somehow, one of our longest residents.
The strange thing is, Romero doesn’t act like a dog who has been overlooked. He still wakes up ready for whatever the day might bring. He wants walks, adventures, and important investigations of smells the rest of us clearly lack the qualifications to appreciate. He approaches life like there is probably something wonderful happening just around the corner.
And he is especially convinced other dogs are wonderful. Romero loves his canine friends and would be thrilled to have a playful buddy at home. Someone to wrestle with, explore with and help conduct important household research into whether the sound of a cheese wrapper is detectable from three rooms away.
But when playgroup ends, his friends eventually go back to their kennels.
And Romero goes back to his. Again.
That part hurts more now because Romero has watched so many dogs come after him and leave before him. Families walk through our doors. Applications come in. Happy adoption photos get taken.
And somehow, our happy boy keeps getting passed by. He doesn’t know he’s one of our longest residents. He doesn’t know how many times we’ve wondered why nobody has chosen him yet. He just keeps believing someone will.
Romero isn’t asking for an extraordinary life. He’d be perfectly happy with walks, toys, adventures, maybe a dog friend and someone legally obligated to remind him several times a day that he remains devastatingly handsome.
Mostly, he just needs someone to finally choose him.
Romero has spent far too long watching everyone else get invited home. Please help us make sure the next happy adoption photo we take is his.
