Simone is a petite Rottie who has a lot of love to give and acts younger than her age. She’s playful, affectionate, and absolutely obsessed with tennis balls. If you’re sitting down, she’s likely trying to wedge herself next to you—preferably on the furniture, if allowed. If not sitting down, she’s a classic Velcro dog who thrives on companionship and wants to be wherever her people are. She’s crate trained and house trained but would much rather be curled up beside you than alone. She knows ‘sit’ and is working on ‘down,’ ‘wait/stay,’ and ‘spin.’ She’s food motivated so training her is not difficult, although she does have some of that Rottie stubbornness. She walks well on a leash and enjoys walks, although she sometimes reacts to other dogs in a non-aggressive manner. Simone is good with people and has done well with older children we’ve introduced her to. She’ll chase squirrels and cats, so a home without small animals is recommended.
Ideal Home
Simone would do best in a home with older children or adults due to her size and exuberance. A home without small animals is recommended as she will chase squirrels and cats. She’ll likely do best in a home with other dogs her own size and energy level.
Ongoing Health
Simone is up to date on all vaccinations and spayed.
Training & Support
Simone knows 'sit' and is working on 'down,' 'wait/stay,' and 'spin.' She is food motivated, making training easier, though she can have some Rottie stubbornness. She walks well on a leash but sometimes reacts to other dogs. She needs continued socialization training to learn polite dog-to-dog manners. Simone is prone to jumping and stealing food, so adopters should be prepared for this. Upon approval to adopt, you will be sent SSRR Decompression and Introduction requirements that we require ALL of our adopters to follow. You will be asked to acknowledge receipt of these requirements, verify that you have read them and that you will follow them.
