This is my uncle's rottweiler, Rocky. My uncle passed away this week from covid/covid-exacerbated issues. Rocky is grieving the loss of his papa now and is in need of a loving home.

Rocky is near Philadelphia, PA, US. Iirc, he's probably about 5, a little chunky due to my uncle's limited mobility this last year, and he's a total sweetheart.

He may need some resocialization if the new home has other pets. He was an only pup and was spoiled accordingly.

Big lazy bear

If you can help, please let me know. We are talking with rottweiler rescues, but they're a little slow in processing right now. Any advice or suggestions are welcome. I'm in Texas trying to help from afar. Thanks for reading!

A little pupdate: my dad has been talking with a couple of interested families in and around Pennsylvania. Nothing is for sure yet. Thank you to everyone who has reached out to offer help or a home for Rocky! A longer list of potential homes is a great thing to have!

Final pupdate: Rocky has found a new forever home! Thank you again to everyone who offered advice and stepped up to help find him his perfect hime

I want him! But I’m in Sweden. And hubby is allergic. He might be worth a divorce and a trans Atlantic move though. He looks adorable.

Would Rocky like to come to FL? Does he like other dogs and is he neutered?

I’ve come to the sad realization that I might be able to afford a dog. Lost GF last week and it just sucks. I hope he finds a home soon.

Damn. I’m close, and would love to take him. But one of out cats is very dog aggressive. Good luck sweet boy! Hope you find a good home!

If he's anything like my rottie boy, he's a total bed hogging snuggle baby.

If he was in TX and good with kids we’d take him! Rotties are the best!

I wish I could take him, but I wouldn't be able to physically take him on long walks and I live in FL.

Gosh I wish I could take him. I love rotties. Upvoting so it gets more attention. Pls keep updated!

I'm contacting my inlaws, they rehome rotties so hopefully can find someone to give the chunky boy a home.

Thank you! Are they in Philly or somewhere in the northeast by any chance?

Just outside Philly. They are in the surrounding suburbs.

If he was closer to Indianapolis I'd definitely try to help out. I love big baby Rotties.
