Story
Meet Harrison
Harrison is an adorable 65 lb Rottweiler mix, estimated to be about 10 months old. Rottweilers are known for their loyalty, intelligence, and affectionate nature and Harrison is already showing those traits in spades! He's a big, cuddly boy who loves people and thrives on attention. If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate companion who will stick by your side, Harrison might be the perfect match.
Training & Support
Harrison is still very much a puppy and is a blank slate when it comes to training. He'll need guidance with basic manners, commands, and potty training as he's just starting to learn. He also needs socialization to help him feel confident in new situations, as he can be a little nervous at times.
Positive, reward-based training methods will help Harrison feel secure and set him up for success. We recommend working with a trainer who uses force-free, low-stress techniques to help him grow into a well-adjusted, confident companion. With consistency and patience, Harrison will thrive.
Ideal Home
Harrison would do best in a home that understands the needs of a large-breed puppy. He’ll need plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and ongoing training to help him reach his full potential. He needs a family committed to giving him time, structure, and love.
Harrison would do well with another dog if the home, or alternatively a home that will help him build confidence being alone.
Best suited to a home with children 10+, who understand he is large, playful and tends to forget his own size.
Harrison is a sweet, affectionate pup who’s ready to start his next chapter. With patience and guidance, he’ll blossom into an amazing lifelong friend. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion and are ready to invest in his training and socialization, Harrison could be the perfect addition to your family.
