Ninja is a sensitive soul with the look of a Rottweiler and a surprisingly tender heart beneath his hefty frame. He spent his early years in a bustling family with small children and another dog, learning gentleness, routine, and play. After losing the only home he’d ever known, Ninja was shaken and unsure, but slowly, with the help of patient shelter staff and a confident dog friend named Lexi, his spirit began to mend. He seeks a calm, patient person or family who can understand that change can be overwhelming. Ninja is not an instant “walk-in and take over the house” dog; he prefers to learn every detail of his new humans at his own pace—your voice, your habits, your way of moving. Given time and kindness, his loyalty and affection run deep, and he’ll meet you with quiet love every day. Ninja craves a home with another friendly dog to help guide him through new experiences, and he’s comfortable with children thanks to his upbringing. He’s already neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, but would benefit from ongoing training to build his confidence further. If you’re ready to invest patience and steady encouragement, Ninja is ready to trust and love in return. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
