This boy is scared as he was left abanded at a shelter. Here is the note from them. Yesterday someone left a 5 year old male Rottweiler tied to our animal >shelter with a note saying its age and a little info about it. > UPDATE: He was out today with all the dogs, male and female, and he was having a blast. At least you can see how friendly he is with the volunteers. I feel so sorry for him because he wants to be around people and we just don't have time to give all the dogs the attention they need. Blaze seems to be okay with cats. He was interested in them but did not try to lunge at one. The cat that we used was not afraid of Blaze either. But on the other hand, we had a rabbit in the office and Blaze wanted that rabbit for lunch. He was much more interested in the rabbit than the cat. So I would say if he was introduced properly to cats and you kept an eye on him, I think he would be okay with cats.He seems to do fine with older kids. One of the volunteers has a 12 year old daughter that plays with him. The volunteer also took him swimming in the creek and he did fine.
