About Scorpion

Meet Scorpion. This striking dog catches the eye with his Rottweiler build and a wiry, longer coat that sets him apart from the crowd. Scorpion showed up at a home recently, eager to join the family, but the homeowner wasn't ready for his interior decorating ideas, so he came to stay with us instead. When he arrived, Scorpion needed some serious care. He was underweight and tested positive for heartworm, prompting us to start him on a slow refeeding program and heartworm treatment. An eye infection has since been treated, and he’s made a full recovery. We haven’t tested how Scorpion interacts with other dogs yet; our priority is giving him time to heal and gain weight. What stands out about him is his loving nature. He relishes attention and embodies both a big-dog presence and a gentle heart eager for companionship. If you want a dog who will turn heads and get people asking, “What kind of dog is THAT?”, Scorpion is your guy. He's ready for a real home, so let's make that happen.
