Lexi – 3 year old female Rottweiler
Lexi is an utterly adorable and hugely friendly female Rottweiler (ref. 210d) aged 3 years old. She was brought to Derby RSPCA Centre by an Inspector because her last owners simply had too many animals. If she woofs at you, it is only because she doesn’t understand why you are staring at her in her kennel and is asking why. She is actually one of the very nicest, gentlest dogs you could ever meet and is very quiet too.
Lexi is so full of love and genuine affection for people that it is obvious that she has only ever known kindness. She will be absolutely delighted to meet you and make friends with you if you ask a member of staff to bring her out.
She would be suitable to live in an active household where any children were aged 10+ and kind to animals. She previously lived with several other Rottweilers and also with cats, with whom she seems to get along, but would be certain to chase after rabbits and other small furry animals.
Not surprisingly, Lexi loves being groomed, stroked and made a fuss of. She likes to play, both with people and with toys, and particularly enjoys a game of tug. She would make a very good playmate indeed. She knows at least 4 commands, but doesn’t appear to have been taken for many walks by her last owners, so she is only just beginning to explore the big wide world and can sometimes seem a little bit timid and puppyish when discovering unusual sights and sounds for the first time. She is nevertheless a very positive, intrepid and inquisitive dog and is adjusting to everything very swiftly.
Obviously she is a big strong girl, so she will need owners who can give her lots of exercise and take her for frequent walks. She will also need plenty of opportunities to use her brain, because Rottweilers like to be up and doing things which they find interesting and absorbing. A bored and neglected Rottweiler with nothing to do is always an unhappy Rottweiler.
Lexi is an utterly wonderful and hugely lovable girl – big-hearted, sweet-natured and just as likely to cuddle you as you are to cuddle her. The household that adopts her will be a household to be envied.
