Deimos is a four-year-old, extra-large male Rottweiler with a short black and brown coat. He is house trained and crate trained, though has not been neutered and needs his vaccines updated.

About Deimos

Deimos lives in a quiet rural area of NE Washington, north of Metaline Falls, and is looking for a new home where he can relax. This four-year-old Rottweiler has spent his whole life with his current family, sharing space peacefully with another male Jack Russell terrier and a cat, and formerly tolerated chickens as well. Most of his time has been spent at home, so he's not used to meeting many new people or dogs, but he has always listened well and responds to family cues. He’s crate trained, house trained, and rides happily in a side-by-side, though car rides are rare for him. Deimos formed a close bond with his owner's granddaughter for years but, in recent months, has shown a strong preference for her to keep her distance—retreating to his crate when approached and giving clear signals he'd rather be left alone. Out of concern for both child and dog, his family feels it's time for him to move on to a quieter home. He’s not neutered, needs updated vaccines, and has had mostly practical, in-home training. Deimos needs an experienced, adult-only household ready for a powerful but sensitive companion. He is currently in Redmond, WA. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
