My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Delilah, a charming Rottweiler ready to find her forever home! Delilah, on the smaller side for her breed, is a sweet and affectionate companion with a playful spirit. She gets along well with other dogs and loves engaging in friendly play. Delilah does have a tendency to resource guard her food bowl and chews, so an experienced adopter with a background in handling Rottweilers or large breeds is essential. Positive reinforcement techniques have proven effective with her, making it crucial for her new family to be well-versed in these methods.

To ensure a successful transition, Delilah's new family will receive a comprehensive training package to address and manage her resource guarding behavior. Given her protective nature, it's recommended that Delilah be placed in a home with no children under 18 years old. With the right guidance and a patient, experienced adopter, Delilah is sure to blossom into a loving and well-adjusted companion. If you're ready to provide a nurturing and understanding environment for Delilah, complete with positive reinforcement and plenty of affection, she could be the perfect addition to your family.

Delilah weighs 85lbs

Delilah's adoption fee is waived through the month of February thanks to our "Perfect Match" promotion.
