About Kronos

Kronos is a young male Rottweiler facing an urgent need for a new home or rescue. He’s fearful and food-motivated, often retreating or freezing when pressured, especially during leash handling. While he can be affectionate once outside and responds well to basic cues like 'sit,' his leash sensitivity is significant. He has shown food-related resource guarding and will require a behavior waiver for adoption. Although he has coexisted calmly with other dogs, he also exhibits some signs of discomfort around close approaches. Kronos needs a patient adopter who understands his fearfulness. He’s not suitable for a foster situation but is available for adoption or rescue. A commitment must be secured by 5:00 PM on 11/09/2026 to ensure his safety. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
