Description:Destiny came to us as the lone survivor of her litter who had been abandoned. A foster mom took her home and has been with her every day since, bottle feeding and now just loving her. The foster mom loves her very much but has too many dogs and wants us to find her the perfect home where she will be cherished for the amazing little girl she has grown to be.
Destiny is a beautiful, happy Rottweiler female puppy. She was the runt of the litter, and is somewhat small for this breed at her age, but she is healthy in every way. Her current weight is 10 pounds and growing.
She wants to play, and has a lively attitude and very friendly personality. She listens to commands, and is attentive, but is a puppy at heart. She is sensitive and intelligent, and bonds strongly to people. She gets along with other animals, including other dogs, but she will need to be reigned-in from time to time, as all puppies do.
She is a Rottie; she probably should not be someone's "starter dog." She will easily get the upper-hand if allowed, and her face alone will make most people look past her baby mistakes.
Rottweilers are generally calm, confident, and intelligent dogs that are happiest when given a job to do. These dogs are adaptable and courageous and make great guardians and companions. With proper training and socialization, they make good family dogs, especially for active people. These dogs are very energetic.
This breed craves attention and affection and will become lonely, depressed, and destructive without it. These dogs do not do well when relegated to the backyard for days or even hours at a time. They enjoy spending time outside and require a lof of exercise, but they also need time indoors with their family.
Long walks, daily jogs, and vigorous play provide an outlet for the Rottweiler's energy. Because this breed is sensitive to heat, care must be taken to provide plenty of shade and cool drinking water during warmer weather.
