Being a fur parent to a Rottweiler is a tough job regardless if the dog is from a breeder or a rescue. It requires time, patience, attention, and a lot of love and care. Based in Ohio, R.E.A.L. Rottweiler Rescue has rescued dogs from different backgrounds. Some are saved from high-kill and rural shelters while others are surrendered by their owners. FLRRR is the haven for abused, medically in need, and aged Rottweilers. They take under their wing dogs who are lined up for euthanasia, those surrendered by their owners, and those of military families who had to leave behind their pets.
Petfinder – Petfinder is an online database that can link you, as a potential adopter, to nearly 11,000 shelters and adoption organizations. All dogs go through an assessment for their temperament and to ensure that they are not aggressive. Foster families take note of their rescue’s behavior and habits to help potential adopters. Most of their rescues are from country-run animal shelters that are often overcrowded. They get tips from concerned citizens, volunteers, or sometimes the shelters themselves on when a Rottie is in line for euthanasia.
This means they do not have a single shelter or kennel that houses their rescued Rotties. Instead, rescued dogs are sent to foster homes that will take care of them. My name is John Carter and I absolutely love pets, especially cats and dogs. I’ve got a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Behaviour and Welfare and have several years’ experience working in animal shelters and rescues. My passion for animals started at a very young age as I grow up on a farm with several horses, cows, cats, chickens, and dogs on our property. All rescued dogs are exposed to family situations for at least two weeks to ensure that they have behaved enough for family life.
Catering to the states down south, SSRR takes under their foster care purebred and mixed Rottweilers of all ages. They have Rotties as young as puppies, also growing teenagers, full-grown adults, and even seniors. Since its establishment, For the Love of Dog has taken in over 1,900 animals and helped in the rescue of thousands more. They even extended their help to the bully breed and even kittens. The organization has a live release rate of over 90%, higher than the 85% rate in northeastern shelters which was a result of no-kill campaigns around the country. They check on adoptions every year and give support such as advice, training, and tips to ensure that every Rottie is well taken care of.
I am Kraig Wharton, a wildlife conservationist and a television personality. I am 30 years old. I was born and raised in the small town of Marion, Alabama. I have always had a love and respect for nature, which led me to pursue a career in wildlife conservation.
I have been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel all over the world, working with some of the most endangered species on the planet. My work has taken me to some of the most remote and dangerous places on earth, including war-torn countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan.
I am passionate about educating people about the importance of conserving our natural resources, and I am committed to doing whatever it takes to protect our planet for future generations.
