Draco - Rottweiler and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Greensburg, Pennsylvania

Meet Draco — 98 Pounds of Rottweiler Love
Draco is a handsome 1-year-old Rottweiler who came to us from local animal control and is now looking for a family ready for a whole lot of dog — and a whole lot of love! At 98 pounds, Draco is already a very big, powerful boy, but underneath all that muscle is a friendly guy whose little Rottie nub is constantly wagging.
Draco is crate trained and has done wonderfully with keeping his crate clean. After one accident on his very first day, he quickly figured out the routine and will actually bark to let you know when he needs to go outside. He already knows sit, down, and come, and he is eager to continue learning.
Draco is an extremely strong dog, and his future family needs to be physically capable of safely handling a dog of his size and strength. At only a year old, he is still a young dog with plenty of learning and maturing ahead of him. Rottweilers are intelligent, loyal, powerful dogs who thrive with structure, consistency, training, exercise, and plenty of interaction with their people. Continuing his training and working on good leash manners will be especially important.
Draco will be tested with both dogs and cats this week, so we don't yet know how he feels about four-legged friends. We will update his profile as soon as we know more.
Adopting a 98-pound Rottweiler is a serious commitment. Draco isn't just a big, handsome face — he needs a family prepared to provide lifelong training, proper socialization, regular exercise, quality veterinary care, good nutrition, and the time and attention every dog deserves. Potential adopters should also make sure there are no breed or size restrictions with their landlord, homeowners insurance, or community before applying.
For the right family, Draco has the potential to be an incredible companion. He's friendly, smart, already has a great start on his basic training, and seems pretty convinced that his constantly wagging little nub is enough to charm everyone he meets.
Now he just needs someone willing to make that nub wag in a forever home.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
