Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today. Maximus is an outsized bundle of energy and affection who thinks of himself as a giant puppy, even though he's a massive Rottweiler weighing in at 94 pounds—likely to top 100 as he matures. His youthful exuberance means he loves to play with his whole body, so he needs adopters comfortable managing a big, strong dog who doesn’t quite grasp his size. Maximus is outgoing, friendly with everyone he meets, easy to train (especially when treats are involved!), and enjoys car rides without any trouble. He's strong on the leash and may pull, but takes direction well and knows basic commands like sit, stay, and bring it. Coming from a rural background, Maximus needs daily play time outdoors to channel his energy, and he excels with families who can provide structure and activity. He is especially fond of water and would love access to a pool or kiddie pool for play. Maximus has lived indoors, is crate trained, and does well with older children and another dog in his foster home. However, he’s best matched to homes with kids over 12—his enthusiasm might unintentionally knock smaller children over. Although he hasn't been tested with cats, he gets along with other dogs and is not possessive about his toys. Loyal and sweet, Maximus is looking for an adopter experienced with Rottweilers who understands the breed’s playful, loving nature and commitment to training and companionship. Roxy's K-9 Rescue raises dogs in foster homes rather than a shelter. All dogs are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm tested, and provided monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention. Medical records come with adoption, and the rescue provides transport across the United States. Kindly allow the team time to respond to your inquiries, as they are volunteers dedicated to finding the best match for every dog. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
