Romeo - Outcome Unknown

Name: Romeo

Age: 6 years

Breed: Mini Schnauzer

Sex: Male (neuter not yet confirmed)

Location: Fort Worth, TX

Vet Info: Romeo is neutered per his owner, but this has not yet been confirmed.  Romeo is also up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative per his owner.  Romeo weighs about 15 or 17 pounds.

Owner Info: Romeo is a very handsome and friendly mini Schnauzer who needs to be rehomed very quickly.  Romeo's owner has moved in with family for health and mobility reasons and her home has been placed on the market.  The closing is in two weeks, and they are all in a panic because after that, Romeo will have nowhere to go.  

Romeo is an outdoor dog with a fenced yard, he is housebroken but not leash trained.  Romeo is a very friendly boy and is good with people of all ages, other dogs, and cats.  He is not possessive of toys, treats, or food and has never bitten or snapped.  

Romeo's owner's daughter in law has reached out to us for help.  Please read her heartfelt plea below:

"I am emailing on behalf of my mother in law.  She rescued a mini schnauzer about 6 years ago and he is blind.  The vet felt that after looking at his eyes he could have possibly been poisoned in his first year of life.

Romeo (is almost 7) and LOVES to be outside.  His one bad habit is marking while outside. I feel he does this more as a like a bread-crumb trail so that he knows how to get back to the porch.  There is currently a bigger lab mix that is his sidekick. Romeo uses him as his eyes and follows him a lot, though he is completely fine to wander on his own (as the marking in the yard I guess makes him feel more secure with walking off without the other dog).

He has always had a doggie door and goes in and out. We find it odd that he only marks outside (95% of the time).

There was a neighbor dog that had Hook Worms so immediately an appt was made to have him checked out and a full blood panel was done and thankfully nothing came back.

I am sorry for rambling, the reason I am emailing is that we know Romeo’s fate if he is surrendered to an animal shelter and I cannot bear the thought of doing anything like that. We are desperately looking for a rescue group that would welcome Romeo’s sweet face and allow him to live his life."
