Dr. Pepper

Meet Dr. Pepper <br/><br/>Dr. Pepper is a 3 year old, 58 lb Rottweiler whose story is beginning to bloom in the most beautiful way.<br/><br/>When she first arrived in rescue, it was clear life hadn't always been kind to her. But day by day, with good food, proper medical care, and a lot of love, Dr. Pepper has been gaining weight, growing stronger, and starting to shine. Watching her come back to life has been nothing short of amazing.<br/><br/>This sweet girl has the gentlest soul. She loves being near her people and is happiest relaxing close by, soaking up the comfort of a safe home. Dr. Pepper is both dog and cat friendly, making her a wonderful addition to many families. She has not been around children much but her foster thinks she would do well with older children only as she is still learning how not to jump up on people. She does pull strong on a leash and will need some training to learn better walking manners.<br/><br/>She's doing great learning the rhythms of home life - fully potty trained and working on crate training - and she's very food motivated, which makes learning new things fun for her. Like many Rottweilers, she may treat you to the adorable "Rottie rumble," a little grumbly way of chatting that's totally normal for the breed.<br/><br/>Toys aren't really her thing yet, but that's okay. Right now she's enjoying the simple things - a cozy couch, a soft blanket, and the feeling of finally being safe. She is also not a fan of car rides, and will need patience and maybe medication whenever one is required. Sadly, when a dog has previously been food-deprived, it is natural that she prefers to be fed separately and not share with other dogs- such is the case with Dr. Pepper. <br/><br/>Dr. Pepper was recently spayed and is currently receiving heartworm treatment, but she's already showing how resilient she is and how bright her future can be.<br/><br/>This sweet girl has come such a long way already, and now she's ready for the best chapter of her life - a loving home where she can continue to blossom.<br/><br/>Sometimes the most beautiful things just need a little time, care, and sunshine to grow...<br/>and Dr. Pepper is ready to bloom. <br/><br/><br/>PLEASE READ BELOW:<br/><br/>If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, the first step is to complete an application and read all of our FAQs: <br/><br/>https://www.takepawsrescue.org/adopt<br/><br/>Please note: Information to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application. <br/>*An inquiry, questions or introduction through Petfinder is NOT an application* <br/>All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily.
