Story
Remi was a foster dog we took in with the intention of giving ALL of our love to. My Unfortunately, my work schedule has changed, and we are no longer home as much because my spouse and I work M-F. She has a ton of energy gets along with kids. She needs someone who has the time to take her on runs and can match her energy she is a fabulous dog and chills when she needs to she is crate trained and doesn't use the restroom in the house. We are really sad about having to do this but we think it's in her best interest.

Story
Vinny is a big-hearted, happy Rottweiler with a soft spot for his people—especially his human toddler siblings! He’s gentle, affectionate, and loves being part of a family. True to his breed, Vinny is loyal and thrives on companionship. This young guy does wonderfully with other dogs and would be happiest in a home that already has canine friends. He enjoys playtime, socializing, and having buddies to share his day with. Because of his enthusiasm and prey drive, Vinny would do best in a cat-free home. Vinny is still young and eager to learn, making him a great candidate for continued training and structured play. With the right home, he’ll grow into an amazing lifelong companion. If you’re looking for a loving, dog-friendly Rottweiler who adores kids and would flourish in a multi-dog household, Vinny may be your perfect match.  Click here to learn more about his adoption process: https://www.kandd4puppies.com/adoption ##2614122##
