Orion

My story

Orion came to us on a transport van. We knew that he would be coming from a hoarding situation. We did not know what to expect. We got to the parking lot in Aurora at 5pm. It was raining heavily, but the drivers were very attentive and presented us with a beautiful thin Rottweiler who jumped off the bus and into our arms. He kissed me on the cheek as I got him into our car.  We drove home and introduced him to each of our resident dogs.    First, our one-year-old Rottweiler, Remington. Remus was so excited to meet another Rottweiler close to his age. The next three ranged from 11- 12 year olds. They each welcomed Orion into our home. Remington found Orion to be his long-lost brother, and the two play for hours.    He has come a LONG way!! On Sunday, June 8th, we started him in obedience school with 3 other puppies. He did surprisingly well with all of the 4-month-old puppies in the class. He played gently and acknowledged the puppies' sizes, and was very gentle and kind to each of them. On his first training day, he learned to sit, down and stand back up. And has followed through at home every day since then. He does very well in the crate when I have to go to work for 4 hours every other day.    He is smart and treat motivated. He is learning everything we try teaching him. And responds very well to patient teaching and loving reinforcement. He requires patience and loving guidance. He is strong-willed and needs a strong, gentle leader.    He will make an awesome hiking buddy with patience and strong guidance.    If you have previous experience with a strong breed, please submit an application at eapl.com His adoption fee is $375June 14, 2025, 4:00 am
