A Dog Named Romeo - Rome, GA
The large adult male is currently staying at the Floyd Animal Control Shelter in Rome, GA. He was found nine months ago by a local citizen who ended up having to surrender him. Animal Control adopts dogs out on a first come, first serve basis.
Adoptions are held M-F 10-6, except Wednesday when the facility is closed. On Saturday and Sunday the shelter is open 1-5 p.m.
The dog/puppy adoption fee is $40.00.

In other animal news, you can help save Gulf sea turtles from extinction, according to Greater Good Network, by signing an online petition at http://www.therainforestsite.com/clickToGive/campaign.faces?siteId=4&campaign=LoggerheadSeaTurtles&ThirdPartyClicks=ETE_061710_LoggerheadSeaTurtles_F.
"Loggerhead sea turtles were already in danger before the recent oil spill," states a mass email from the organization. "Exposure to spills can cause skin loss, poisoning, death, drowing, which is why we need every available tool to help save the lives of individual loggerheads and save this species from extinction."
The oil is extremely toxic to the creatures.
"Key sea turtle nesting beaches in the Florida panhandle are already seeing the effects of the Gulf oil disaster, and the danger to loggerheads will only grow as more oil makes its way toward shore and this year's hatchlings must make their way back to the now toxic waters of the Gulf."
There are some dogs that are in need of urgent care and financial assistance may be given at http://helpsaveone.chipin.com/urgent-dogs.
