Name: India
Case Number: #7657
My name is India and I am a sweet, gentle lady. I love everyone, even the most unusual of strangers, and relish being petted and massaged.
I am currently living in with a great foster family, but need to find my forever home.
I am uncomfortable with some handling (paws, snout) and will need a patient adopter who will help me become more accepting of it. Due to my concerns about some handling, I may be more comfortable in a household of respectful tweens and up. I will readily share my food with people.

I tend to be stiff around other dogs and not playful. While I can tolerate them, I’d sooner have nothing to do with them. I am definitely a people-centric pooch.
I don't know any basic commands but I'm eager to learn for a taste of my favorite treats! I am proud to say that I walk nicely on the leash, and training will help us forge a relationship.
I would be best in an experienced home with guardians who are familiar with the typical breed characteristics of a Rottweiler
