Chandler

Age: approx. 5 years old
Breed: Rottweiler mix
Weight: Approx. 70 lbs
S*x: male (neutered)
Adoption Fee: $200

Chandler arrived as a stray July 2026. We have not tested him with cats, children, or other dogs. When walking by cat rooms he seems indifferent. And he can pass by other dog kennels well, so long as the other dog reacts respectfully.

Chandler can be a vocal guy—barking is his favourite way to communicate! He loves to run, play, and have fun.
His idea of the perfect day? A sandbox to dig in, a ball to chase, and a person willing to run around and chase him right back. Basically, Chandler is looking for someone who enjoys life at full speed!
