Roman - Super Mellow

UPDATED BIO: Roman came to us extremely obese and he is on a diet. He has lost bout 10 lbs or 4 kg in two months. As he loses weight, his interest in romping and exploring has increased. He seems much happier!<br/><br/>He is wonderful with all dogs, large, small -- friendly dogs and grumpy ones, and he is excellent with people too. We don't know about cats, but his personality is relaxed overall so we think he might be tolerant. <br/><br/>He likes to run and play with other dogs, but as a 9 year old, he likes his nap time too. He will tell other dogs when he is done playing, with a bark. He LOVES couches and dog beds! He snuggles with other dogs. He lived in a home with 35 dogs of all sizes and temperaments, so he coexists very well with dogs.<br/><br/>Roman is healthy because his medical issues are stable. His bloodwork and chem panel results were all normal as of 3 July, 2026. Roman was treated for heartworms in 2022; his heart was damaged so he is on inexpensive meds for that. He also has a thyroid problem, so he has meds for that, which are also inexpensive. He has some arthritis we think, but is not on a medication. He doesn't show any stiffness. Weight loss is the best medicine. A healthy weight for Roman could be 29 kg or 65 lbs.<br/><br/>Roman is fostered in Kentucky and we can transport him to you. In August, we transported a big Kentucky coonhound all the way to Nova Scotia! We will do everything we can to help Roman find a loving family.<br/><br/>https://www.coonhoundrescue.ca/foster-application<br/>https://www.coonhoundrescue.ca/adoption-application
