Adopt a Rottweiler / Mixed

?

Hi everyone...I'm Dimitri! I'm 6-7 months old and was found all by myself wandering around New York City. I spent a few days in the shelter and then someone came and got me out. I was scared of many things in the shelter so I was glad to leave. I have a heart of gold and am very loving but I need time to warm up to people, especially men. Being a puppy, I am at that critical point in my life where my new family will need to work on building my confidence so I can be at ease in new situations. I am dog social and have enjoyed the company of some of the other dogs in my foster home who are 40-60 lb dogs.I would prefer a home with another dog to help show me the way and make me comfortable.  I love to run around in the yard with the other dogs and going for walks. I like to chase the cat because it's fun but I could probably learn not to do that. Its pretty apparent that no one has taken the time to show me how the world works but I'm so eager to please, I just need a little time and patience to get my confidence going. I am very loving to my foster mom and was so glad to see her after my neuter surgery. I really thought she wasn't coming back for me. I was a little scared of the vet but when my foster mom told me it was ok to let her listen to my heart and held on to me, I allowed all handling since I had someone to trust. I'm doing well with my house manners. If you feed me and take me out, I get right down to business. I'm really a deserving boy! I need a family who can help me transition into my new surroundings. I'll pay them back in silly antics and a lot of affection.

Dimitri is available to a family who has experience with under-socialized dogs with the time commitment and patience to build his confidence. Adult home or possibly one with an older teen considered.  Other confident dogs a must.
