Rikki Shepherd & Rottweiler Mix Rootstown, OH

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.


HI, my name is Rikki I am a 9 month old Shep/Rottie mix. I am a happy girl who likes to play. I don't really play ball much but I do like squeaky toys. My goal is to get the squeaker out so You have to keep an eye on me while I play. I do know my basic commands like sit, down, wait and watch, but Sometimes I like to forget them when I am excited. Mom says it's because I am in my adolescent years. I am the last of a litter of 6 to be adopted. Mom says I am the only one who has a long tail too. It is just shy of 18 inches long. I am selective with dog friends, so I have to be introduced to them first. I am spayed and up to date on my vaccines and heart worm. I do take meds every day because I have what the vet says is weak bladder muscles. I can only 'hold it' 6 hours in my crate or I have an accident. I also have to eat in my crate. I will growl if another dog comes near my food. I don't care for cats at all.I like people and I am kid friendly but do to my size and my energy level mom say I would do best in a home with older kids (teenagers). I would probably accidentally knock young kids over. I do weigh 75 lbs. now.Mom says I need a fenced in yard because of my energy level and I like to run. I also like to follow all the different smells.

If you think I might be the type of young girl you’re looking for fill out an the application. below.
