Afghan Hound, 5 Years Old
Romeo is a 4 year old Afghan Hound, DOB 07.03.19.
This boy is wonderful, handsome and looking for an equally amazing home of his own. We are looking for a sight hound savvy home for Olaf and Romeo, four year old male Afgan hounds (date of birth 07/03/19). A wonderful, handsome and unique pair of dogs who need an experienced adopter with a large secure garden and lots of time and patience.
Olaf and Romeo, a pair of Afghans, arrived in the shelter over a year ago. They are both strikingly beautiful, very tall hounds. The have lived in kennels and their owner’s garden all their lives and had minimal care or attention. They arrived at the kennels together in a dreadful state. Their coats were matted and they had obviously never been on a lead or taken for a walk and were very unsure about the world in general.
Despite their previous life, they both like to be with people and will follow you around and seek contact with you once they trust you. Romeo is the more affectionate of the two and likes attention!
Romeo’s coat was so matted be could hardly move and he had to be shaved when he arrived but you can see from his photos that it’s grown back well and he’s looking rather glorious! His coat will need regular maintenance going forward as you would expect
Both Romeo and Olaf arrived very insecure, they weren’t used to unknown dogs, strangers, or even having a plentiful supply of food. They have been at the shelter well over a year and they have flourished in that time. So much so, that Olaf has managed to find a local home which we are all absolutely over the moon about but, of course, it leaves Romeo on his own and needing to find his own family.
Having such a neglectful background, we’re looking for an experienced adopter for Romeo as he may take a step back moving homes again, but in time and with the right patience and help, he will continue to flourish into the beautiful dog he is, inside and out.
