My story

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

Meet Argos!

A beautiful and loyal Rottweiler from Forked River, New Jersey. This 5 year old loving boy is a true gem! Argos is not just a loyal companion; he is ready to be a cherished family member.

Argos thrives on the simple joys of life, and one of his favorite activities is going for long walks, exploring the world around him, and reveling in the fresh air. He's a well-mannered fellow who's mastered essential commands like sit, stay, lay down, and eagerly awaits the mention of "good boy!" His eyes light up with excitement at the mere mention of "treats"!

With a medium energy level, Argos strikes a perfect balance between playtime and relaxation. However, he could benefit from additional training to refine his manners and ensure he remains the best possible companion. Argos is naturally protective, making him an excellent guardian, although he may display resource-guarding tendencies, so it's essential to be mindful of this behavior.

To provide the best possible life for Argos, his new caregiver must be experienced with Rottweilers and have a deep understanding of the breed's characteristics. Argos thrives when he's the center of attention, so he's best suited as the only dog in the household, ensuring he receives the undivided love and care he deserves.

In Argos, you'll discover a loyal and devoted companion who is eager to bond with someone willing to invest time and effort into consistent training. He yearns for a responsible and understanding person who can guide him through life, providing the structure and guidance he needs.

With the right individual by his side, Argos is ready to share his big heart and unending loyalty. If you are ready to learn more and offer Argos the best life possible, he's waiting for you to be his forever friend and partner in adventure!

To make sure that Argos has a great start with his new family, we have a canine behaviorist available for a free consultation.
