About Smores

Meet Smores, a big, energetic Rottweiler mix with an appetite for rope toys and open play yards. He’s happiest when he’s sprinting around with a toy in his mouth, showing off his playful side. Smores knows how to sit and accepts treats with a gentle mouth, proof of his sweet nature once he trusts you. In his previous home, Smores lived with several other dogs but was overlooked, which led to some food guarding habits. Because of this, another dog in the home is possible, but you’ll need patience—a careful introduction process and the ability to separate at mealtime. Smores now ignores most other dogs but meeting a new friend would take time, and he hasn’t been exposed to cats or young children, so a home without either is a must. This guy needs a patient adopter ready for frequent visits until he feels secure. Once Smores opens up, he’s loyal and affectionate—a real sweetheart beneath the big frame.
