Duke is a 1.5-year-old, 100 pound Rottweiler with a fluffy coat and a heart of gold.
True to his breed, Duke embodies the classic Rottweiler characteristics: he is loyal, confident, and protective. **Also true to the classic Rottweiler characteristics, he is a big baby who still hasn't figured out how to not trip over his own paws.** We joke that he must be mixed with a Golden Retirver because he is extraordinarily social with people of all ages, leaning in for pets any chance he gets!
Duke is full of energy and enjoys his daily walks and although he is strong, is well behaved on the leash and continues to improve with his leash manners. He loves water and finding all of the cool sticks to bring home!
He's smart and eager to learn, but wants to be your only doggie companion. Other doggie friends get intimidated by his size and excitement so he hasn't been able to cohabitate with another dog yet. That being said, he has had multiple positive leashed interactions with dogs who are not off-put by grumbles or large dogs.
He has done well with chickens while they are in their run, and easily disengaged from excitement of their noises.
Duke thrives in an environment where he can have structure and routine. We have a high preference for:
XL Dog breed experience
Fenced yard
Although he loves children, specifically his 7 year old foster human who walks him every night, he should not live with children who may be tempted to share snacks as he is learning a lot about sharing. If you're looking for a loyal and happy go lucky addition to your family, Duke is the perfect match.

After the adoption is completed, all vetting (spay/neuter, boosters, heart worm and flea prevention) are the responsibility of the adopter. This deposit will not be returned if the animal is not spayed/ neutered within the established timeline.
