Rodney

Description

Successfully rehomed by Birmingham Animal Centre

This gorgeous boy is Rodney. He was found as a stray with a horrific injury to his back. It was an open wound that was about 10 inches long and 5 inches wide. He required lots of veterinary care at our animal hospital and thanks to all of the TLC he received there he made a full recovery! He has settled into kennels with us brilliantly, he is a total fusspot who enjoys interacting with people. Playtime and walkies are his favourite pastimes here, and he gets very vocal during tug of war (typical Rottie!). We have introduced him to other dogs and he is calm in their presence although we have not let him off lead with another incase they jump on him where he was hurt. Rodney will suit an owner experienced with his breed as he is a big strong boy who needs an owner to be his leader, and not someone who will allow him to dominate a household. A home where children are of teenage years and older will be ideal. Poor Rodney has obviously been through a very traumatic experience in his past, it's amazing how affectionate and well rounded he still is, he will make a superb pet in the right home
