Here's what the humans have to say about me:
MEET WILMA (called Fiona by her foster)!
Her foster writes the following:
Meet Fiona (fka Wilma)! Fiona was born on 2/26/2025. She is an adorable Rottie puppy who had a hard start. Fiona was allegedly attacked by another dog when she was just a couple months old and sustained injuries that caused her to lose her right eye and suffer a broken jaw and orbital socket. Her eye was successfully removed and her jaw is healing. Despite these life-threatening injuries, she is the happiest, sweetest, goofiest puppy ever! She loves all people and all dogs. She has a super long tail and is already 40+ pounds at approximately 17 weeks old. She’s going to be a big girl. She walks well on a leash and is doing well on potty training. She sleeps peacefully in her crate all night without crying. She is super smart too! She can sit for her food and for treats. She is very food motivated and should be easy to train. She gets a little excited about food and can get a little growly but we are making great progress on this. With her jaw, she does struggle to open her mouth fully but doesn’t seem to struggle to eat or drink.
Fiona (or FiFi as we call her) loves to do typical puppy stuff like play with toys, dig holes, carry shoes off into the yard, wrestle with her foster sisters, etc. She follows her foster mom everywhere! Her favorite playmate is her foster sister Maddy who is another Rottweiler. They just “get” each other. She tries to play with her chihuahua sisters but she’s a little rough for them and likes to swat at them . She’s okay with smaller dogs but her preference would be another big dog. Won’t you give Fiona the home she deserves? Please adopt her so she can begin her lifelong journey as your best friend! Fostered in Apex, North Carolina.

The RHR adoption application is part of a multi-step process. Once we get your completed adoption application, the RHR Adoption Committee will contact your veterinarian and personal references.

Our goal is to have this process completed within 10 days. After that, a meet and greet between the dog, you, and your family must take place. The RHR Adoption Contract must be completed and approved. Payment of the adoption fee can be made via money order, cashier’s check, PayPal, Venmo, cash, or personal check, must be received by RHR before the adoption can be completed. Rottweiler Hearts Rescue reserves the right to deny any application for any reason.
