00:00Romeo is a sweet little dog that came to us a couple days ago.

00:10Someone had put in a call that a dog was hit by a car and they found him laying on the

00:15side of his injured partner.

00:16I guess they had gotten out of someone's house together and one of them got hit by a car

00:21and he stayed with her the whole time.

00:23She was injured and probably dying and he stayed by her side.

00:27And unfortunately she died on the way to the vet and he lived so he's here with us

00:32now.

00:33He lost his Juliet so we called him Romeo.

00:36Romeo is, he really, really, truly showed his loyalty to his dying companion Juliet

00:42which in itself is heartbreaking.

00:44We know the trauma that he went through, the trauma of sitting there by that poor, sad

00:49partner of his.

00:51That's really hurtful for any living being.

00:53It was really sad just because he was with this dog that was dying.

00:58Dogs are really loyal creatures and I think that's why we as humans love them so much.

01:02So it was really sad but now he's here with us and we'll take care of him and hopefully

01:06find him a better home.

01:07He probably does miss her but we're kind of distracting him with other dogs right now

01:13so I think he'll be alright.

01:15Romeo wasn't injured, he's doing just fine.

01:17He's about five years old, he's kind of like a Maltese mix.

01:21So he's like a little white fluffy dog, super friendly, super cute.

01:25He probably lives in someone's backyard but they fed him because he's not underweight

01:29and he seems healthy to us so he was in someone's home but unfortunately it wasn't a very good

01:35one.

01:36The facility here is very large.

01:39We have four dog runs with 48 kennels in each dog run.

01:43We have two cat buildings.

01:45Every dog that comes in, we have to hold them for four business days before anything happens

01:49to them.

01:50Once the four days is up, we can spay, neuter them, get them adopted or if they're sick

01:55or suffering or if they're very aggressive, then they'll probably be humanely euthanized.

02:00Unfortunately it happens because we don't have all the space in the world and we don't

02:03have all the resources to walk these dogs every day and keep them happy and they don't

02:09deserve to be in a cage forever.

02:11Coming here, it's kind of the incentive to adopt anyway when you come here so come on

02:17down.

02:18Once you see all these dogs, you can't do anything but hope.

02:21I think any home would be a great home for Romeo.

02:24A family, single family home, kids, someone living in an apartment, perfect.

02:30He would fit in anyone's lifestyle.

02:31If he was in your house, sitting on your couch, he'd curl up in your lap and cuddle with you

02:35all night.
