Sweetpea - Rottweiler Dog for Adoption in Jersey City, New Jersey

Sweetpea is a 2-year-old Rottweiler looking for his furrever home!

Sweetpea is 115 pounds of pure love and excitement, always stuck between sitting right up against you and taking off to see whats interesting around the corner! He loves to be scratched behind the ear while sitting between your legs, especially when people-watching at the local park. Sweetpea has a bit of a bad habit of jumping when hes excited, but hes been working on his leash behavior, and always knows never to take it too far once he calms down a bit. A wide open space is his favorite place to go all out, sniffing every flower, puddle, and shoe he can find in between sprints. Sweetpea is looking for a more experienced owner to help him learn to be the best dog he can be, and he would be perfect for an owner that loves big dogs!
