Description
Dog Breed: Rottweiler (short coat). #A5752686 Say hello to Rio , a 1 year 9 month old Rottweiler and the most perfect chonky lover boy you’ll ever meet! With his thicc and sturdy, extra-cuddly build, big toothy grin, and deep warm brown eyes topped with the cutest tiny tan eyebrows, he’s pure rottie perfection. Just past his baby years and having spent time as a stray, Rio would likely benefit from a refresher on puppy basics - leash skills, potty training, manners, and socialization - to help him thrive as you navigate his “teen” era together. He’s got all the best qualities of his breed: loyal, playful, and vibrantly energetic, wrapped up in one sweet package. Despite not having the easiest start, his heart is wide open and ready to soak up all the love and affection a safe, cozy forever home can offer. If you love Rotties, you’re going to fall head over heels for Rio! - 1 year 9 month old black and brown Rottweiler - no medical notes, so Rio may need the standard round of shots and preventatives before you can take him home, as well as a neuter and correction of his cherry eyes (a surprisingly quick and easy fix!) - but the shelter can likely help with this! Just to be safe, he may need to be adopted on a health waiver - adopter to follow up with own vet for further diagnostics and potential treatment - came to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on 1/29/26 as a stray - big handsome hunk of loving with all the classic rottie quirks - after a life on the streets, ready to share his big heart and even bigger personality with a new furever family - our picture doesn’t do this sweet boy justice - come check out this XL cutie yourself, you won’t regret it!

Overview:
The Rottweiler is a powerful and intelligent breed, originating in Germany where they were primarily used to drive cattle and guard property. Physically, they are robust dogs, instantly recognizable by their medium-large size, strong build, and striking black coat with distinct tan markings, particularly on the muzzle, chest, and legs. Their temperament, when properly socialized and trained, is one of unwavering loyalty and confidence; they are known for being calm and courageous, making them excellent guardians. While generally good with children within their own family, their protective instincts mean they require supervision with strangers. Due to their size and need for regular exercise and mental stimulation, Rottweilers are generally not ideal for apartment living and thrive in homes with secure yards. Health-wise, they can be predisposed to conditions such as hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as certain heart conditions, necessitating responsible breeding practices and regular veterinary check-ups.
