Raven is a very sweet 5 year old female Rottie girl who ended up at Norfolk, VA Animal Care & Adoption Center as a stray. She waited for her family to come and reclaim her but no one showed up. The shelter saw what an amazing girl Raven is and contacted Southern States Rescued Rottweilers (SSRR) right away.

Raven in a really good girl. She's not lazy but also not hyper. She likes to walk and walks well on a leash. Her foster mom descri bes her this way.

She is a total lover, goes right up on your lap. I've seen no guarding issues , she let's me take her Kong out of her crate, eats treats from my hand, isn't overly food crazed and no problem removing her bowl.

She goes right in her crate when you tell her too. She makes absolutely no noise. She doesn't whine or paw at her crate. She's only barked once and was quick to stop once she realized she knew the person coming in the door. She does know sit and paw and is learning wait and down already. She should be good enough for a first time Rottie owner. She's so pretty !
