You should follow through with your application with ARF. Romeo (Deacon) is a wonderful boy, very loving and will be a terrific pet for the right family. He had began to play here with the others, so I do believe he will come out of his shell very quickly. Also, he was doing very well with house training, after only a few days here.
IDK too much about OK Auction Rescue, I've seen their listings before on Petfinder.
Don't give up - and good luck!
