King - Rottweiler Dog for Adoption in Polk, Ohio

ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF, I’M KING.

I am 3 years old! I got the height for the NBA, the personality for the spotlight, but thankfully for you, I decided to be a Rottweiler instead!

When I first arrived at the rescue, I had a little bit of a problem with something called selective hearing. I’ve since been informed that when someone says, “King, come here,” I am, in fact, expected to come here. I’m still reviewing that policy even though I follow it now, But in my defense... what man doesn’t have a little selective hearing?

I’m actually a pretty fantastic guy.

One of my favorite things in the entire world is getting in the car. Tell me we’re going somewhere and I’m ready before you are. I love the idea that every car ride could lead to something exciting, and honestly, I’d be perfectly happy being your permanent passenger.

I’m great on leash, I crate nicely, I know how to shake, I’m happiest when there’s something happening and I get to be part of it. And while I may look like I should have my own throne, I’m really just a goofy, affectionate boy who wants to hang out with his people.

I do have some royal decrees:

Female dogs around my size are my preferred court companions, with a proper introduction.

Cats and small animals no need to apply. I have prey drive, and I take that job very seriously.

Small small children aren’t my best match simply because I’m a BIG, strong dude. Older kids or adults would be much better suited for my royal presence.

But honestly, I think my size is only part of what makes me special.

I’m the kind of dog you notice when I walk into a room.
You notice the height.
You notice the giant Rottweiler head.
You notice the goofy expression.n

And then you spend a little time with me and realize...

Oh. He’s just a big ol’ sweetheart.

I’m King.

I’m ridiculously tall.
I’m ridiculously handsome.
I’m slightly opinionated.
I may occasionally forget that I’ve been asked to do something.

But I’m also loyal, fun, affectionate, and always ready to see what’s around the next corner.

So if you’re looking for a dog who can make you laugh, fill up your entire backseat, and make every ordinary car ride feel like we’re headed somewhere important...

I think we should meet.

After all...

Every king needs his kingdom.

Hope to meet you soon!
