Wherefore Art Thou, Romeo?

Looking to adopt a pet? How about Romeo? This "star-crossed" pooch is looking for a home.

This handsome guy is Romeo, a 5-year-old old male weighing around 50 pounds. He’s friendly, active, playful and quite strong, but our volunteers have been working diligently on his leash manners and say Romeo has come a long way. He really likes being with people, so he has learned to stay close by and is now pretty calm when he gets outside. Our volunteers love him.

He has learned "sit," loves to be petted and likes rolling around in the grass. Romeo has really mellowed out here, so imagine how nice he will be when he gets into his very own castle—your home!

Romeo came in with his housemate Juliet, and she has found her forever home. But Romeo has been waiting.

Due to his size, Romeo shouldn't go to a home with small children, but older kids would probably be fine. This is a sweet playful boy that should go to an active household with experienced dog owners.

Romeo  is a member of our Pooch With Perks Program. When you adopt Romeo, you will receive a Doggie Goodie Bag donated by the Friends of Burlington County Animal Shelter. When contacting the shelter at 609-265-5073, please give them Romeo's ID, D-52778.
