Sai - Rottweiler Dog for Adoption in Polk, Ohio

Apparently my life started out in what humans call an animal cruelty case. I just thought 61 dogs was normal. Turns out it wasnt.

The nice people at the rescue busted me out of doggy jail, and Ive been figuring out this whole being somebodys spoiled family member thing ever since.

When I first arrived, I was about 50 pounds. Everyone kept saying things like, Poor girl, shes all bones. Well, look at me now. Im pushing 70 pounds of glorious fluff, happiness, and a tiny bit of dramatic personal space invasion.

I LOVE other dogs. Boys, girls, confident girls who think theyre the boss. I get along with everyone. I match the energy of the dogs Im with. If they want to wrestle, Im ready. If theyre calm and gentle, Im happy to be their gentle friend too. Tug-of-war and zoomies are some of my favorite hobbies.

Im also pretty quiet. I dont feel the need to bark at every little thing.

Since I never knew when my next meal was coming before rescue, I still get a little excited at dinner time. A slow feeder helps remind me that nobody is going to steal my food anymore, and afterward Im learning that a nice nap is part of the routine.

Im pretty much housebroken now. Every morning I hop out of my crate, grab a drink, head outside, and start my day like Ive been doing this forever. Im also a dog door professional, Im getting better on a leash every day, and I think car rides are pretty awesome.

Oh, and if you happen to turn on the garden hose, youll probably find me happily standing in the water. Apparently thats not what everyone does, but I think its brilliant.

I do best when Im crated if youre away or sleeping. It helps keep me safe while Im still learning all the rules of living in a home, and Im perfectly happy relaxing in my own little room.

The very best part of me is that Ive discovered cuddles.

I hand out kisses freely, melt for butt scratches, and every day I get a little more confident about asking for love. It took me a while to learn that people can be kind, but now that I know, I dont want to be very far from mine.

I didnt get the beginning every dog deserves, but Id really love the happy ending. If youre looking for a big, fluffy girl with a sweet heart, a goofy personality, and enough love to make up for lost time, I think we've been waiting for each other.
