Rottweiler
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

My elderly neighbor reported that someone in my apartment complex had moved out and abandoned their dog. I found him sitting on the former residents doorstep trying to get back in. The family that currently lives there said he is not their dog. He is an intact, male Rottweiler, approximately 2 years old, 110lbs with a friendly temperament but skittish and I suspect has been abused. He is very flinchy but has not been aggressive. I took him back to my apartment and kept him confined to my patio but he began barking and crying so I decided to bring him in and introduce him to my animals gradually. He gets along well with other dogs, cats and children but does not appear to be housebroken. He does seem to have some sort of injury around his hips that is healing. I suspect he may have been tied up to something as the area in question is hairless but looks to me mostly healed although still tender to the touch as he will guard the area when I try to inspect it. I have made contact with my local animal control, the Humane Society and the SPCA as well as several other rescue agencies and no one will take him. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment with two dogs and a cat already. I cannot take in another dog. I can try and hold him for a brief amount of time but I really need somewhere for him to go. He is a very sweet dog and I think he would make an excellent family pet so I do not want to see him get euthanized or left out on the street. Please contact me as soon as possible to let me know if there is somewhere that I can take him where he will be cared for.
