Meet Romina 🖤
Romina has been in foster care with us for almost four months now, and as we continue searching for her forever home, we want to be transparent about the type of environment where she will thrive best.
Romina is an incredibly smart, loyal girl who forms strong bonds with her people, but she is not the kind of dog who will succeed in every home. She needs adopters who understand dog behavior, management, and boundaries.
Romina may be able to live with another dog, and she does enjoy having canine companionship, but any resident dog would need to be very submissive and respectful. Romina has a strong personality and can be pushy around toys and resources.
She has shown a lot of patience in her foster home, but she can become overwhelmed when another dog repeatedly challenges or antagonizes her. Because of this, we are looking for a home that can properly manage introductions, boundaries, and interactions with other animals.
She is also nervous with new people coming into the home. When unfamiliar visitors first arrive, Romina may bark or growl because she feels unsure and protective of her space. However, with proper management, patience, and people respecting her boundaries, she is able to settle and relax over time. Her future home will need to advocate for her, move introductions slowly, and understand that trust is something Romina builds — not something that can be rushed.
Despite these challenges, Romina is deeply loving with her people and has made wonderful progress in foster care. She deserves a home that sees her for who she is and is willing to continue helping her feel safe, understood, and successful.
The right home for Romina is out there — one that will appreciate her intelligence, loyalty, and strong spirit while giving her the structure and patience she needs to thrive. 🖤
