Stevie

Please meet Stevie!

Stevie is a 1 to 1.5 yr.old 75 lb male Rottweiler, he is up to date on all shots, heartworm negative, on preventative, neutered and is micro-chipped.

Reese

Reese is a one-year old Rotti mix who was rescued by our Humane Law Enforcement Agents from a dreadful situation. She's overwhelmingly Rotti, but has the most adorable "fringe" of whiskers around her bottom lip. Who knows where those whiskers came from in her family tree (perhaps Airedale?). Despite Reese's rough start in life, this gal doesn't hold any grudges. She's very affectionate to people She's also very energetic and very bright in that unique Rotti-way. When out for a walk, this young gal is always in a hurry to get where she is going. She needs lots of exercise, and adores jumping up and mouthing people. (She needs an owner who will teach her that this puppy-like behavior is not appropriate.) And Reese does want to learn. She's very, very eager to learn basic manners and will work well for a taste of her favorite treat. She absolutely needs to attend training classes, so that she can mature into an upstanding canine citizen. Reese is quite the busy body -- always very curious about everything. She needs a very active, experienced owner who will keep her well exercised and who wants to train her. We've discovered that she's not comfortable around children and would feel more comfortable in a home with adults. Reese also doesn't like other dogs very much at all. Don't worry, if you're walking her in the City, she'll pass other dogs and simply ignore them. She just doesn't want a dog in her face. So, Reese needs to be in a one-dog household, with that one special dog being Reese, of course! If you're interested in meeting Reese, please contact Trish McMillan at the ASPCA (TrishM@aspca.org).

Jewel is an exceptionally beautiful 2 year old female Rottweiler. She has a wonderful disposition and will make an exceptional family companion. If you are interested, please act quickly. Please contact Jane at JaneatHAI@aol.com <JaneatHAI@aol.com>
