Simone is a petite, playful Rottweiler who carries her years lightly and is obsessed with tennis balls. She’s affectionate and has a habit of sneaking onto the furniture or finding the nearest available lap. Loyal and tuned in to her people, Simone is the kind of dog who always wants to be by your side. She’s crate trained, house trained, and motivated by treats, making her eager for training despite her classic Rottweiler stubborn streak. While she already knows 'sit' and is working on other basic commands, food and positive reinforcement go a long way with her. Walks are a favorite; she handles the leash well but can react with excitement around other dogs—nothing aggressive, just a reminder that she’ll need continued socialization. Simone has done well with older children, but her enthusiasm (and tendency to jump or go after food on the counter) means she’s best matched to homes with adults or older kids. She prefers canine companions her own size and energy level. Cats and small animals aren’t a fit, as her prey drive takes over around them. Simone’s the definition of a Velcro dog: she wants to be where her people are and is happiest curled up beside you. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
