Lazlo Bear

My story

Lazlo has a had a rough go of it lately. He was adopted as a puppy by his previous 80 yo owner, who unfortunately passed away Oct 2025. I adopted Lazzy Bear from the owner’s daughter who described him as a gentle giant, who’s house trained, very submissive, average energy, good with dogs, cats, and kids. All of these absolutely apply, except the last which has been a challenge the past two months with my little children. Laz is a BIG BOY who I think doesn’t understand the concept of kids playing because it seems to freak him out/upset him. I’ve changed house rules to separate kids from dog, which seemed to help but having any other child over is a disaster. He is a great dog, who acts as my guardian and pillow because he was sweet enough to choose me as his personal, but I think he gets jealous of the kids. Can’t have that. I think older/bigger kids would be perfectly fine since they could handle the big boy better, or a more experienced Rottie owner than myself.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Lazlo Bear, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
