Story
Hi there, I'm Muldoon! I may look like a tough guy on the outside, but I'm actually a big softie at heart. I am very underweight and in need of a special adoptive family to help me get healthy!I'm a 5-year-old Rottweiler with a lot of love to give to the right family. I can be a bit touch-sensitive, so I'm better suited to a home with older children who understand the importance of gentle interaction. I'm also working on my impulse control, so patient and experienced dog owners would be perfect for me. If you have other dogs at home, you should know that I can be easily overwhelmed by pushy or rude dogs, so it's essential that we're a good match. My ideal home would be a calm and structured environment where I can continue to build my confidence. I'll thrive in a patient and understanding home that can help me work on my confidence and impulse control. If you're looking for a big-hearted Rottweiler who just needs a little extra TLC, I might be the perfect match for you.This animal is still awaiting spay/neuter surgery so is not ready to go home today. However, a special consideration can be placed on the animal so that they can be held for an interested adopter. Please click "Adopt Me" to get started!

He absolutely adores running and playing in the yard, and he'll be your ideal partner for hikes, runs, or any adventure you have in mind. If you're an active individual or family, Buddy is sure to be your perfect match.Due to his prey drive, Buddy should be in a household without small animals. Additionally, Buddy's enthusiasm sometimes gets the best of him, which is why we recommend older children who can help him with impulse control. His high spirits are infectious, and he'll benefit from positive reinforcement training to channel his exuberance in a positive direction.Buddy is selective around other male dogs, so a male-only household may not be the best fit.

It's important that Buddy gets along well with his potential furry siblings.Don't miss out on the opportunity to bring Buddy into your life.
