Rottweiler (Short Coat)
Description:
Meet Missy! Missy is ready for her forever home and we could not be more thrilled about that! She was freed from life on a very short chain not too long ago. She was stuck on this chain in the snow and cold without access to shelter or water. The chain was so deeply embedded in her neck that it caused a deep wound, requiring urgent medical care. Missy had surgery to remove the chain (it was embedded about 1.5 inches deep) and spent the next 5 days in the hospital recovering. Throughout all of this, she was friendly, good natured and cooperative. She must have been in so much pain for so long, but yet she still trusts in the goodness of people. Missy is now in foster care - her neck is fully healed. She has learned the joys of sleeping in comfy beds, going on long walks and even visiting the beach. She is a gem. She is good with other dogs and has a Rottie foster brother. Her foster mom is a dog trainer and she has been working with Missy on the basics such as crate training, leash walking etc. Missy has a little separation anxiety, but that is to be expected and it is already getting much better. She will need continued training and socialization. We would like to see Missy with a family who understand and have experience with her breed. From her foster: "Missy has been staying with me for a few weeks now , and over time her personality has really come out !! She is the biggest cuddle bug , thinks she is a 90lb lap dog she loves to cuddle up right between your shoulder and your face. She loves her dog bed and loves her stuffy toys (specifically the ones that crinkle) she loves the beach and hikes , she would make a great companion for someone who is active. She’s the best buddy to have ! She loves going anywhere her people are going! She’s always excited to jump out of the car and get the day started ! She’s non reactive to both humans and dogs , she’s super people social when approached while we are out , she’s come to multiple brewery’s with me and said hi to all the staff and collected her treats from everyone in there. She has a beautiful off switch, if we are sitting some where for a while she will lay down and take a nap , but springs into action what it’s time to get up and get going! She’s made so many new friends over the course of staying with me and I’m so excited to see her make more !! She’s also extremely biddable and eager to please her people! She loves training and picks up on things very quickly. She is conditioning to the clicker and knows when she hears that click food is coming her way! She’s the best friend to have and I can’t wait for her to find her forever person Missy is now vaccinated, spayed and chipped. Her adoption fee is $450 We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.
