Here's what the humans have to say about me:
MIKE, or MICHAEL if you prefer – 2 year male. Sweet, Loving, All Around Good Boy. So why is he still waiting for his forever home?
Mike loves to play fetch and loves to play with toys. This boy enjoys a good belly rub, hide a treat and he will find it. He has basic obedience skills, say sit and he will drop to a sit position before the words finish coming out of your mouth. He is very food motivated and willing to learn more. He is good with other dogs his size and is ready to go. No meet and greet for Mike.
Mike is a strong rottie. That really comes out when he is on a leash. To him leash time, is play time. He wants to play tug of war. He wants to jump and can be a bit mouthy. Not aggressive, just mouthy. This is why we feel Mike could use a more experienced owner. Someone who will work with him, provide him with some structure. A fenced in yard would be best. If there is another dog in the family a female his size would be better than another male. No small dogs or cats. Children in the family should be over the age of 10.
If you are interested in including MIKE in your home, please go to our website http://www.recycledrotts.org/wp/?page_id=150 for the rescue location (Recycled Rotts is located in the far west suburbs of Chicago IL), placement policies/fee, placement area and the link to our online application.

PLACEMENT FEE FOR MIKE IS $150.00
