About Negan

Negan is a striking 11-month-old Rottweiler who came to the rescue after his veteran owner faced serious health issues. True to his breed, Negan is large, energetic, and incredibly affectionate—his favorite move is melting into your arms to hand out big, sloppy kisses. He hasn’t shown any aggression and welcomes both affection and playtime eagerly. Manners aren’t his strong suit yet; with his previous owner unable to provide typical obedience training, he’s still learning boundaries and can get rambunctious. With steady training and consistency, that’s likely to improve, given how eager he is to please and connect to people. Negan has a repaired heart murmur and will need to stay on heart medication with check-ups every six months, but he’s recovered well and ready for a full, active life. Forced or extreme exercise isn’t required, but allowing him regular, self-paced activity is just fine. He plays with other dogs enthusiastically and responds well to corrections—just be ready for his high spirits. Given his size and zeal, he isn’t suited for homes with cats, and older kids with large dog experience will be safest. Negan is house trained and up to date on vaccines. Ready to roll, this boy is looking for a family ready for fun and love. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
