Get a Loyal Loving Friend Through Rottweiler Rescue
- 23/11/2010
Rottweiler rescue organizations provide a valuable service by serving as an alternative to the dog pound for owners of purebred Rottweiler dogs that, for a variety of reasons, must give up their dog. The owner may have gotten the Rottweilers with good intentions, planning to keep the dog for its entire life. Then something happens. Many purebred Rottweiler dogs end up homeless because of death, marriage, eviction or new children.
The Rottweiler is an excellent watchdog, and some owners get their Rottweilers for the purpose of guarding property. When the property changes hands, the watchdog may not be needed any longer needed. Instead of easing the Rottweiler into retirement as a house pet, some owners prefer to give their dogs away.
A Rottweiler dog owner who can no longer keep his or her Rottweiler can surrender the dog to a Rottweiler rescue organization. However, owners should be absolutely certain they are being forced to give up their dog before they turn the Rottweiler over to a Rottweiler rescue organization. Luckily for the dogs, Rottweiler rescue organizations are eventually able to find homes for most Rottweilers. Remember, no one should get any dog thinking that they can turn it over to a rescue group if things don't work out.
Anyone who wants to adopt a Rottweiler rescue dog should carefully consider the decision and be absolutely sure before they make a move to adopt a dog. A commitment to a dog should last the dog's entire lifetime.
Rottweilers are big dogs, weighing eighty to one hundred thirty-five pounds, and they have great strength. It is essential that such a strong, confident dog be properly trained, for the safety of the dog and the people around it. Obedience training for Rottweiler puppies should begin at an early age, preferably eight to ten weeks. With a rescue Rottweiler, though, you can't be sure what kind of training the dog has already had. Owners of rescue dogs should be prepared to go through obedience training with their dogs, to correct any problems with the dog's behavior and to introduce the dog to the structure and authority Rottweilers crave.
Confidence is a trait of most Rottweilers' personalities, but the Rottweiler longs for a pack leader. A rescue dog owner should provide the Rottweiler with enough exercise to fulfill the dog's need for vigorous recreation and with enough discipline to establish the owner as the leader of the pack.
Rottweiler rescue groups will only accept Rottweiler dogs that are in good health, with current vaccinations. Each dog that is accepted as a rescue dog undergoes a health and temperament evaluation by a veterinarian, and the owner who turns the dog over is required to pay a nominal fee to cover intake expenses. The fee is also meant to discourage owners from dumping dogs on the rescue groups, and encourages owners to think long and hard before surrendering their dog.
If you are interested in adopting a rescue dog, contact a Rottweiler rescue organization near you. Most organizations will require that you be at least 21 years old and that you have the permission and consent of all adults in your household. If you don't own your own home, you will be required to provide written permission from the owner for you to adopt a Rottweiler. If you are discouraged by these requirements, please remember that they are designed to reduce the possibility of an irresponsible owner having to return a rescue dog and to make sure prospective owners understand the commitment required to adopt a Rottweiler.
If your application is approved, you will be paired up with a rescue dog and asked to foster the dog for a temporary trial period. The result is worth the wait because your Rottweiler rescue dog will be a faithful companion for the rest of its life.

I have a beautiful 10 month old Labrador/Rottweiler cross. Unfortunately due to personal reasons I need to find her a new loving home. She has a fabulous temperament and adores my two kids. It's breaking my heart to give her up.. I thought she'd be with me forever.
Hi, I have recently lost my beautiful Rocky. He was my third rottie and has left a huge hole in my life. I have over 15 yrs experience with the breed and suitable rural location. I am desperately seeking a 6-12 month old male, with papers. Preferably Meath/Dublin/Louth area, but will travel further if necessary. Guaranteed loving forever home. Peace out . Darragh
I have come accross a female rottie that was surrendered, She is about 3. I am looking for either a forever home or a foster home for her. Time is short as she will be put to sleep in next week. I can give more details on her to anyone who requires same.

Hi...
im hoping to adopt a girl because I love Rottweiler's.
I need a companion to go a ling walks because I'm a single guy with a lot of time on my hands.
I believe that dogs should get the best of everything the same way we expect the best out of life.
I hope that I can give a dog a good home and a happy life.
Hi, I recently retired and looking to adopt a female Rothweiler. Over the years I have had several Rothweilers and now that I have more time I want to give a dog a loving home. I am an active walker and so would like an active dog. Thanks and hope I hear from you soon.
I have a 10month old female who is spayed and still has her tail. Absolutely beautiful and has a great temper. We had to move house and we have nowhere to keep her so she's in need of help asap:/
Do you still have the bitch?
I rescued my Rottweiler 11 years ago and had him to the ripe old age of 11 years and two months. He died two months ago and took a little bit of me with him. I immediately went to a rescue centre and rescued another rottie/gordon shepard cross. I was led to believe that he had a lovely tempermanent but since I've had him (and I love him), he chases everything that moves, let it be cyclinst, runners, other dog walkers etc. and he barks as he goes. Over Christmas I took him with me to my sister's house and whilst there, he bit two people necessitating medical attention. They are a house of dog lovers. I was devastated. He had no excuse, he was being exercised for two hours daily, getting loads of attention etc. I am almost put off rescuing dogs because I want a Rottie but I think that maybe I need to get a puppy? If you really believe that your dog is gentle and biddable I would love to have her but please let me know if she has some issues....then I could make an informed decision. I completly accept that I may well need to invest in some training but I don't want to have to reverse some bad habits. I feel it is so unfortunate that I have had a bad experience with my recent rescue because I am a great owner. My dog comes first with me and therefore I can give some dog a terrific life. If you would like to discuss the possibility of me taking your dog would you like to email me at denised03@gmail.com.,
Kind Regards
Denise
