Duke - Rottweiler Dog Available for Adoption in Polk, Ohio

Hi, my name is Duke

Im 3 years old, built like a linebacker , and apparently convinced Im a lap dog. I dont really understand personal space when it comes to people I love If you sit down, there is a very good chance I will slowly back my whole body into you for scratches and then somehow end up halfway in your lap like its the most normal thing in the world

Ive been told Im a really good boy a lot lately, and I think Im finally starting to believe it

Life hasnt always been easy for me When the rescue saved me, I was really sick with pneumonia and needed a lot of care. But nobody gave up on me People loved me through it, stayed gentle with me, and showed me that humans can be safe. Because of that, I trust hard now. The kind of trust where I look at you like you hung the moon just for handing me a leash.

Im feeling SO much better these days and ready for my forever home One where I can keep learning that the world is good and soft places are meant for napping

Here are a few important facts about me
I know sit and no because when I listen, I get treats
I love my crate and think of it as my little apartment
I dont chew things up or throw tantrums when left alone
I get excited for walks
I love other dogs and would happily play tug-of-war for my entire career
Chicken is incredible
Hot dogs absolutely not. Keep those weird little tubes away from me.

Im sweet in that quiet, sincere kind of way The kind that leans against your leg while you cook dinner just to make sure youre still there. The kind that watches you with soft eyes because being loved still feels a little unbelievable sometimes.

Id do best with someone who understands big breeds and will keep being patient with me while I settle into my new life. Cats are still a mystery to me though, so I cant give an official opinion there.

The rescue already took care of all my medical stuff, so I come medical debt-free All I have left to worry about now is finding my person.

Maybe its you?
