Dozer may be a little guy for a Rottweiler at just 60 pounds, but his heart is absolutely enormous. At 4 years old, he's the definition of a gentle giant in a compact package. Calm, affectionate, and incredibly easygoing, Dozer has never met a stranger and wins over everyone he meets with his sweet personality. He gets along beautifully with dogs, cats, and even chickens. He's house trained, crate trained, loves going for walks, enjoys playing with other dogs, and is always up for a toy. His favorite hobby? Quietly stealing your shoes and carrying them around like prized possessions. Dozer is a special needs dog. We believe he has Neuroaxonal Dystrophy (NAD), a rare inherited neurological condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. At this time, his only symptom is an adorable, clumsy "drunken sailor" walk that doesn't slow him down one bit. Because NAD is progressive and has no cure, Dozer is looking for a family that understands special needs dogs and is committed to loving him through whatever the future may hold. Right now, he's happy, playful, and enjoying every day to the fullest. If you're looking for a calm, loving companion with a heart of gold and don't mind the occasional missing shoe, Dozer just might be your perfect match.
