my life now
I have had a rough past, but fortunately being left behind during a hurricane in Texas was my big break! It was my chance to get to rescue and on to a better life from my previous life of neglect and abuse. Since reaching Omaha, I have been rid of his parasites and heartworms. I am now a very healthy 5-year-old Rottweiler Shepherd mix.
my perfect home
I am slowly learning people are great with the help of my handler who walks me every day. I like to make the first move when I meet new people. I love both women and men, but am a little hesitant with a few men due to my past. When I feel uncertain with a person I meet, I will back away from them. Usually with a little time and a few treats we can quickly become friends. I LOVE daily walks on trails and in parks. I am very loving and affectionate but I still do not always know his size (silly me - I think I am a lap dog and no one can convince me otherwise). I will back right up and sit in your lap if given a chance, so that I can be petted and shown affection.
I am used to being the dominant male protector around other dogs so I would do best as an only dog or with a submissive female dog as my doggie best friend. However, I am willing to meet any resident dog to see if we can become friends. A home without young children would be also best. I do better when I can anticipate the behavior of those around me, and children can be very unpredictable. I have been very affectionate with many children I have met, but I would be more successful in an adult-only home or with children that are in their later teen years. I do require a six-foot privacy fence. Please consider meeting me to see if I could be the perfect fit for your home. I would love to have a family I can call my own!
