Meet Romaine (Romy)
Romy came to us as a super shy, petite four-month-old pup. As one of the few survivors of Parvo in her litter, she missed out on developing typical puppy social skills early on. She was timid and unsure, but even then, it was clear she loved people and animals — her little tail would wag with excitement anytime someone approached her kennel.
Since entering foster care, Romy has made incredible progress. She loves her kennel and often retreats there for naps or quiet time — as long as it's in the same room as her humans. She adores her people and will come bounding over with a joyful pounce when she sees them. With her long legs and dainty frame, she moves like a graceful (yet clumsy) little gazelle.
Romy is a quiet dog — we’ve only heard her bark once — and she’s happy to relax in her crate or venture outside for playtime with other dogs. She’s already met three and has a magical way of turning even the grumpiest pup into a playful companion.
She’s wonderful with kids, other dogs, and even cats. While she loves everyone, she still needs a minute or two to warm up. Romy will likely always be a bit shy, especially in busy environments, and she tends to retreat to her crate to decompress when things get overwhelming. We’re slowly introducing her to walks — the new smells and sounds are a bit much right now, but she’s learning.
Romy may be shy at first, but once she feels safe, she transforms into the sweetest, happiest pup. It’s impossible not to fall in love with her — so if you're coming to meet her, consider yourself warned!
