Profile
Romeo is a handsome 5 year old male Golden Retriever. He came to RAGOM from a breeder surrender situation. He loves humans and other dogs. And attention! Romeo should be in a home where someone is home much of the time and requires another medium to large dog in the home to learn all the cues about being an inside dog and treasured family companion. Romeo will be fine with kids over age 5 if parents will commit to supervise kids and Romeo while he is transitioning into the home. Romeo has not been cat tested. A physical fence is not required as long there is a safety plan in place. Foster requires knowing safety plan prior to placement. Leash walking is still very frightening for Romeo. Patience and consistency will help him get comfortable. He will be a great addition to some family. Yours?

1/31/2024Retired breeder Romeo (now known as Apollo) is off to live the life of a cherished pet. His new family lost their last GR at only 2 1/2 years old due to a congenital medical issue. They are now ready to welcome a new dog and are thrilled to have Romeo/Apollo join their family! His new life includes two excited human teens who are eagerly waiting for their pet to arrive home.

He’s met other dogs while out walking on the leash and he’s friendly, polite, and full of tail wags. He doesn’t beg for food, but he does like treats. And peanut...
- 12/27/2023Wow this dog! Romeo is so happy and adaptable. He loves to meet other dogs, loves to meet otherpeople, and has learned that walking on a leash means fun and new experiences. He’s having greatsuccess walking on the Easy Walk harness and lines up at the front door at walk time to have theharness put on. He will startle if there are loud traffic sounds, but takes his cues from us and the otherdogs and calms right down. His tail NEVER stops wagging if he’s on a walk. Romeo had his neuter...
- 12/19/2023Romeo is a gorgeous, medium-energy five-year-old male Golden Retriever who came to RAGOM from a breeding environment. Despite this, he’s well-socialized with humans and other dogs and LOVES attention. If you are looking for a cuddly, tail-wagging Velcro dog who will greet you with a smile, lean in to hugs, prefer to sit in your lap rather than on the floor, and is guaranteed to try to sleep in the bed with you, Romeo might be a great fit! Romeo is understandably anxious, as he’s go...
