Keesha, rottweiler

Keesha is a female rottweiler dog staying at Southern States Rescued Rottweilers.

Keesha is a social animal — she gets along well with kids, cats or dogs. She has all of her shots, and she is spayed. She has mastered her house-training etiquette.

Here's more about Keesha:

Hello my name is Keesha! I am currently part of a loving family of three adult humans and two other dogs. I am very shy when you meet me, but, after a couple of days, I warm up to people and love cuddles, belly rubs and attention. My last family didn't expose me to a lot of things, so I'm still pretty nervous around new people and new experiences, but not in a bad way, I just get scared and try to walk away or if I see a new person in the driveway I will bark at them to scare them away!

Bear is a lovely young man looking for a family of his own. He needs a home where he can either be the only pet or with a large laid-back female. No small dogs or cats please.
