Ideal Home/Adopter: A home with someone that is familiar with the breed and willing to adapt to her needs. She is very strong and her owner should be able to handle her. Lotte came to RO positive for heartworm and a double ear infection. She has come a long way since January and is now feeling healthy and relaxed. She is on activity rest, but enjoys hanging with her foster family in the fenced backyard or leashed on the front porch with them and their two other dogs. She is a large dog and doesn't know her size so she may do best in a home with a little bit more room and maybe no small kids that she might accidentally knock over.

Likes: Plushy toys with a squeaker in it. She is also a fan of frozen bones with salmon and pumpkin for a crate time treat.

Dislikes: Lotte is pretty easy going but does love it best when she is with her people

What makes this dog special: Lotte has a tipped ear and we don't know why, but despite that, she is a stunning girl who deserves to be shown off with pride! She will fill any home with love and devotion.

Lotte's adoption fee is $350. All fees include spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, worming, flea and heartworm current. If you are interested in Lotte, apply at rescuedohio.org to become an approved adopter and a meet & greet can be set up once approved.
