About Romeo
Meetđź’™Romeo an adorable 8-week-old bundle of fun who is ready to find his forever family!
This handsome little boy is a delightful mix of German Shepherd with just a sprinkle of Rottweiler, giving him the perfect combination of intelligence, loyalty and charm. Like any young puppy, Romeo is curious about the world around him and is eager to learn, explore and be part of all your family adventures.
Romeo loves people, enjoys playtime with his siblings and is discovering farm life with new sights, sounds and experiences every day. He is at the perfect age for his new family to guide him through puppyhood and help him grow into a well-mannered and confident companion.
As an adult, Romeo is expected to be a medium to large-sized dog who will thrive with ongoing training, socialisation and inclusion as part of the family. German Shepherds and Rottweilers are both intelligent, people-focused breeds, making Romeo a wonderful choice for an active home committed to raising a happy, well-adjusted dog.
If you're looking for a loyal best friend to share life's adventures, cuddles and countless happy memories, Romeo could be the perfect puppy for you.
Romeo is ready to pack his bags and begin the greatest adventure of all — life with his forever family.
We always recommend post-adoption training whether it be at home or with a professional. Training doesn’t have to be a chore – it can be a fun experience for you and puppy, it doesn’t have to take long and is a great way for you to bond with your new pal.
Romeo is currently available for adoption in NSW, ACT, Queensland and Victoria. If you're interested in making him a cherished member of your family, you'll need to drive with your loved ones to meet him. Should he, for any reason, not be the perfect fit for your family, you would be responsible for either bringing him back to Willow Tree or helping us rehome him from your home.
If you have recently owned a German Shepherd or large breed dog, and understand German Shepherd and think you have the commitment to give him a new home, then please select the "Enquire about Romeo" and we will send you an application form or go to our website and complete the application form.

Adoption details
We have an Adoptions Manager who screens all prospective candidates as to their suitability to adopt a German Shepherd Dog.
We try to contact every one by phone but if that isn't successful we will email our application form to you, which needs to be completed and returned, or you can call us back and we can chat and complete for you. We will also ask you to provide photos of your yard and fencing to enable us to see where the dog will be kept and that they have areas of shade and shelter.
All our dogs are ready to go to their new home, so when you enquire about a dog you must be in a position to take them into your home. We are unable to hold a dog while you fix your fences or go on holiday, etc.
The successful candidate who adopts one of our dogs is provided with an information kit, ongoing support, training and advice on all aspects of feeding, training and general assistance to ensure both the new owner and our rescued dog settle into their home.
Post Adoption Life: With all dog it is important to understand that going into a new environment with new people may not be as seamless as we want it to be. It’s important to know that these dogs have unknown histories - most are left in the shelter by their owners. The information we have is from observing the animal’s behaviours and reactions to certain stimuli whilst in our care. Adopted animals can take up to three months to properly decompress from post-shelter life and a lot of behaviours and quirks may surface during this time. All that we ask is that their new owners have an open mind and are patient.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
