Dream, rottweiler

Dream is a female rottweiler dog being cared for at Home Fur-Ever.

Dream gets along well with other dogs. She is looking for cat-free home. She already has had all of her shots, and she is spayed. She is already house-trained.

Dream's current caretakers say:

Dream was surrendered to our rescue after she recently had a litter of 10 puppies outside that died. She was in need of veterinary care and was taken to our vet where she got the medical care she needed. She currently weighs about 60 pounds and will be started on a good nutritious diet so she can gain a few pounds. Dream walks great on a leash and does well in the car. She is super lovable and hasn't had the best life; however, we hope to change all of that when her new forever family finds her.
