Story
Idris is ready to soar!!
Idris is a resilient 3-4 year old Rottweiler who has overcome a rough start in life. After being rescued from a neglect situation where he was confined in a crate for the most formative years, he was severely underweight and required surgery for his knees to repair the results of that neglect. Despite these challenges, Idris has shown nothing but love, sweetness, and a strong spirit.
After his double knee surgery this gentle boy spent four months in recovery with restricted movement and freedom yet he still showed his patience and gentlemanly nature, even in a new foster home. Idris arrived at his foster home with no previous introductions just two days after his surgery and he allowed his foster family to care for him.
Idris now enjoys life with his foster family, including a playful 2-year-old foster brother, also a Kodi’s Club rescue and several senior pets, whom he respects completely. His 14 year foster, dog sister, corrects his rambunctiousness often and he has never challenged her. He also lives with 2 senior cats who have completely accepted him. He has an anxious attachment style, but that is easy to understand given his early neglect. He wants to be with his people where he feels safest and the more he has positive attachment experiences he will trust and relax. He’s a playful dog who loves making Rottweiler "talking" noises, but rest assured, he’s not shown aggression—he just likes to be heard!
Idris is still working on building trust, especially when it comes to giving up toys, but he’s learning that if he gives up the toys he can play! He learns fast and thrives on consistency and structure. He’s incredibly smart and is looking for a forever home that can continue his training, help him build confidence, and provide plenty of playtime and new experiences to keep him stimulated.
During this fall season in New England he has shown a love for pumpkins and apples. He plays with and then eats his fall prizes. He also loves balls and tug of war. He is food motivated so that can be used to inspire him to learn more. He likewise loves cavorting in the snow.
Idris is an ebullient tank so no children under 10. They must also have lived with a big dog previously because he is quite energetic and not fully aware of his strength!
If you're ready to welcome a loyal, loving, and playful companion into your home, Idris is ready to meet you and show how much love he has to give. He is located in CT. Just submit our application on our site, www.kodisclub.org to be considered!
