Rodney Weir

My name is Rodney and I am 9 years old. I am a rottweiler which means I am loyal, hard-working and intelligent, but it also means I experience a lot of breed discrimination. I am not at all aggressive though. In fact I have a very calm and gentle temperament, which makes me an excellent therapy dog. I regularly visit children in schools and adults that attend day care centres as a Pets As Therapy ambassador to help brighten their day. I also visit the OAADSS office on Mondays.

I had a difficult start in life and was abandoned overnight outside Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary when I was approximately 18 months old, so now I have a traffic phobia and I don’t like going out in the dark either. But I now get spoiled rotten in my forever home with Laura Weir!

My favourite toys are soft cuddly toys which I like to take to bed with me and nuzzle, but I also enjoy playing with other dogs, going for long walks, swimming, napping and eating.
