Story
Lulu is an energetic loving puppy. She loves to play. Being outside is her favorite. She has shown no aggression towards other dogs. We got her at 8 weeks and she’s had some training. Our home life and schedules have unfortunately changed drastically and it’s been affecting the dog’s behavior with us. She loves us but she has been very dominant with us. She has never bitten anyone but she is territorial. She needs a good home with a strong male who is experienced with Rottweilers and can help correct her issues and make her happy. We love her and we do not want to put her in a shelter but it’s very clear a home with smaller children is not for her.

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
I was supposed to be watching him for a friend of a friend. The kid never came to pick him up. My mom, brother and little sister are afraid of him, so I keep him in my room. He destroys my room everyday from what i believe to be separation anxiety. I can’t keep him, maybe if i had a bigger space to keep him but this is just cruel. He is about 7 years old and is very sweet. He shows signs of fear aggression and is very protective of his home.Once he gets used to you, you’ll fall in love . He is not neutered. From my knowledge he was used for breeding. I’ve tried to rehome him but gave up after the last family returned him.
