Additional adoption info

Our Adoption Process
If you are interested in adopting one of our fun-loving, not-so-rotten rotties, you will be asked to fill out a questionnaire. This allows us to get to know you better and make sure the dog you are looking at is a good fit for your family and lifestyle. You can access our questionnaire by visiting our website, www.rottenrottie.com, clicking on the forms tab, filling out the questionnaire, and submitting it online. After reviewing your answers, if we feel that the dog you are interested in is not a good fit for you and your family, we may recommend a different rottweiler companion. After we determine which Rottweiler(s) is the best for you, we will set up a time to meet him or her at their house, where they will feel most comfortable and act as they usually do. Finalizing the adoption requires an adoption contract to be signed, and we ask for a rehoming fee. For most of our adults, a typical rehoming fee is $400. Most of our seniors over 6 years of age, and our Rottweiler mixes are typically $250. Fees for our puppies fluctuate based on our investment in them or their litter and whether they are purebred or mixed. These funds are necessary so that our organization may continue to rehome Rottweilers. ALL of our dogs are sterilized, fully vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested negative, and come with a collar & a leash. We also address any injury or illness they had when they came to us or received in foster care. We will disclose the problems to the adopter prior to adoption.

Rotten Rottie Rescue's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Gilbert, AZ.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
