About Tundra

Meet Tundra. This girl is a heartbreaker. Literally. She’s a stunning, purebred Rottweiler with a congenital heart defect. Her heart can stop beating at any time—we just don't know when. But that shouldn’t stop her from living life to the fullest. Tundra loves to play and is eager to learn. Treats and toys are her favorites. She walks well on a leash, especially if treats are on offer, and she's so well behaved that we use her to help train new staff at our facility. She can be a bit nervous around new people, but just one treat turns her into your best friend. Since her heart condition requires a calm environment, we avoid busy places and keep her safe at home, where she thrives on easy hikes and quality time with her humans. Although she cannot be spayed due to her health issues, she is crate trained and housebroken, maintaining her playful puppy spirit. Tundra would thrive in an adult-only home where she can be the center of attention and spoiled with love. Our rescue will cover all her medical expenses for life, so we're looking for a responsible adopter who can provide sanctuary for as long as she needs. Ideally, you should be located close to Port Angeles for regular vet visits. If you have room in your heart for this special pup, please consider adopting her. Tundra promises to fill your life with joy and love. Your new best friend is just one click away.
